The nice things about steam is you can get as much water as could want on earth, but something like ammonia which we used as a refrigerant for years would probably work well too and there's planets with ammonia rich atmospheres.
The interesting thing is the cycles are fairly similar at a high level, you just run out in one direction for power and the opposite direction for cooling.
yeah but s t i n k y
That's how you know you've got a leak. The reason they stopped using ammonia in the first refrigerators was because of they had a leak it would kill the entire household.
What if we dunk the entire loop in bleach? Then we'll be able to see where the leaks are as they happen.
Not if you're asleep, that was actually when most people died because they weren't awake to smell it.
