Not only it may effectively work, it's often reported to be quieter than mechanical refrigeration. It's been often used in hospitals and hotel rooms until some years ago due to this advantage, even though when it relied on electric power to heat the ammonia it was less energy-efficient. However, for automotive applications where it can get the heat sourced from the cooling or the exhaust, it may be worth.
