Why not simply keep the water trapped in bottles in the "freezer" compartment, and provide a path for heat to "leak" at a controlled rate from the "refrigerator" compartment to the freezer? When the machine is running, water will freeze, but the freezer temperature will not go much below 0C so long as some liquid H2O remains. When not running, water will melt, but the "freezer" temp will not go much above 0C so long as some solid H2O remains. | |

At that time they used a LPG burner for heat, but any heat will do. As noted , not much capacity relative to size. I looked for a car AC using exhaust heat. But the ammonia absorption section must be level and not moved. | |
