Well, the principle ain't new at all. The absorption refrigerator was invented by Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters in 1922, while they were still students at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. It became a worldwide success and was commercialized by Electrolux.

Problem with it is that it involves water, which can be a very hard to get resource in third worlds.

Actually a number of liquids would be suitable - and if water, it hasn't to be potable such! But Lews still got a point - where there is the most sun, there is the least water.  |

Indeed but as you ahve already pointed out, Glance, there are materials other than water hat could do the same job and if you are talking about the hotter parts of the world bet it at sea level or not I'm sure the process could be altered to use a more suitable substance.
