any Icy Ball may do what you are asking, a two cycle process similar to absorption refrigerators, also called enstein refrigeration

How does thermal energy with coolant in a fridge?
The coolant absorbs heat inside the fridge, carries it outside, and releases the heat to the air.
How does a refrigerator keep stuff cool?
BY electricity and a coolant such as freon.
How do you increase the COP of a Carnot refrigerator or heat pump?
Decrease temperature difference between cold coolant and hot coolant
If the coolant in a refrigerator was not compressed back into a liquid after it flowed through the refrigerator what would happen?
The fridge wouldn't get cold. The way the coolant works is as it passes through the fridge in liquid form it picks up the heat and turns to gas. This gas is then put through a compressor which forces it back into liquid thereby forfeiting its heat. And thereby removing the heat from the fridge.
How is the food cooled in a refrigerator?
I'm taking this to mean "how do refrigerators work?" A refrigerator (or fridge) is a heat exchanger attached to an insulated chamber; it removes heat from the chamber and pumps it outside. The rear of a refrigerator has plates which feel warm - this is the removed heat being released. To understand how a heat exchanger works, recall how cold you feel after getting out of a warm bath or pool; the cooling is caused by the water evaporating. Heat exchangers use a similar principle but with a coolant which boils at a low temperature. The coolant is pumped through two coils in the fridge; a condenser coil which is exposed to the outside air and an evaporator coil which is exposed to the air in the insulated chamber. As the coolant is compressed into a liquid in the condenser heat is released to the outside, in the evaporator the coolant evaporates - absorbing heat from the insulated chamber. A problem with fridges is that the coolant has usually been freon (a CFC), nowadays liquid propane gas is starting to gain favour.
Which gas releases from a refrigerator?
Most refrigerators use a coolant called freon.
How does thermal energy with coolant in a fridge?
The coolant absorbs heat inside the fridge, carries it outside, and releases the heat to the air.
What happens as a coolant moves through a refrigerator?
Actually, it is quite similar to what happens in an air conditioning system. The coolant goes through a pump which forces it to go through tubes at the back of the refrigerator. Here the coolant releases its heat through the tube walls into the home. The coolant is cooled down in this process where it then goes back into the freezer/refrigerator portions of the appliance. There it picks up the heat from those chambers to be brought back outside the unit to start the process over again. Keeping these tubes/coils clean helps improve the efficiency of the appliance.
What is the liquid refrigerator coolant in old fridges?
ammonai
How does a refrigerator keep stuff cool?

What is the function of the evaporator in a refrigeration or air-conditioning unit?
A refrigerator works by evaporating the coolant inside the refrigerator thereby absorbing heat. The evaporated coolant is pumped outside of the refrigerator and compressed to make it liquefy and give up its heat then returned to be evaporated again.
How do you increase the COP of a Carnot refrigerator or heat pump?
Decrease temperature difference between cold coolant and hot coolant
Takes heat from food and moves it outside through coolant pipes?
refrigerator
Why does my refrigerator and freezer not get cold anymore stays warm all the time.?
it may be out of coolant.
Does a refrigerator convert thermal energy to mechanical energy?
Yes coolant is used in a cycle
How do you transport a refrigerator?
Refrigerators should be lifted and transported upright so the coolant remains in place.
What is gases use in refrigerator for cooling?
The gas used in refrigerator for cooling are :- Ammonia used as a coolant and water, ammonia and hydrogen gas to create a continuous cycle for the ammonia.
