see "Pelletier Effect" devices. Thermos made a portable ice-box, using that tech, for a while. It's all solid-state, no moving parts.
But with low efficiency. Plus you still have to dump the thermal energy somewhere outside of the facility. I frankly don't see how this approach will buy you anything. David Leonard ShaysNet
