I have never heard of such a creation, that, however does not mean that it does not exist...

(not very helpful, I know...)

G'day abmay, silly sounding question, who knows, you might be on the right track...have a look at the accompanying link for the history of refrigeration:

Refrigerant History
A mixture called chemogene (consisting of petrol ether and naphtha) was patented as a refrigerant for vapor compression systems in 1866. Carbon dioxide was introduced as a refrigerant in the same year.

Have a look at link

Only 1895 pounds too.

Now when is fuel cell technology going to catch up?
Petrol or LPG can supply the hydrogen, then straight to electricity.
Has been a previous post using meths or similar.

Petrol! don't think there's a car fridge that uses petrol but there's one available that uses dynamite.
