No.  Those cool the contents of the refrigerator to below ambient, not the
stream of hot stuff used to derive power from.  The propane combustion
exhaust will be considerably above ambient in your example.  Also, the powe=
r
input via the combustion heat will be considerably greater than the cooling
power that the unit can apply to the refrigerated space.
