Thermal dynamics of ammonia
I watched a video explaining a liquid helium isotope cooling system for quantum computers. I was thinking maybe ammonia and water could do something
similar. Aqueous ammonia over heat source, ammonia would evaporate, cool ammonia and reintroduce to water the restart process

Ammonia is regularly used as a refrigerant. Adding water to the mix makes it less efficient.

I believe OP has re-invented the absorption cycle refrigerator (Servel cycle).

Is this the mechanism you had in mind?
I have seen the more common vapor compression cycle JJay is apparently thinking of done with Carbon monoxide, Sulfur dioxide, anhydrous ammonia... And
the various Freons, of course.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

It is an odd yet elegant process, IIRC it's still employed for mini-bars as they are completely silent. And I must congratulate the OP for reinventing
the process :-)

I miss the old ice box. My grandmother had one in the wall of her kitchen. The ice man could put ice in from the outside.

Yes. It's on YouTube, the mechanism I got the idea from. The original concept use liquid He-3 and liquid He-4. Liquid He-3 is lighter than liquid
He-4. But liquid He-3 can dissolve in to the liquid He-4, untill about a 6% consternation. Liquid He-3 also has a higher boiling point than liquid
He-4. So it was setup so the He-3 transfer heat put via evaporation and when He-3 is recondensed and added back the the He-3 layer. This is all
inside a U-Tube
