Last I looked, both refrigerators and chillers were available with
few special caveats, although a house size chiller seems to be intended
for outside installation. Refrigerators available for both propane
and kerosene fuel. I understood ammonia was more popular for large
installations.

I also had the impression that most really hazardous situations would
involve tank cars or large plants. Am I wrong about this ? Years ago,
we had an ancient Servel refrigerator spring a leak. In this case,
the result was unpleasant, but no more so than breaking a few bottles
of cleaning ammonia.
