Interesting. I'm aware of some gas-powered air conditioning machines, yet it's often mentioned as environmentally-friendly and operating in a way similar to the air-cycling featured to airliners, not requiring any refrigeration fluid.

Aside from a pump moving a glycol coolant to and from the A-Coil, it was just an overgrown version of the RV, dual-mode refrigerator.
But was it dual-mode, or gas-powered only?
