Yes, a common example is the small fridges in hotel rooms, usually they are absorption because there are no moving parts (and so it is silent, unlike the compressor driven ones), the technology wqs originally developed by Dometic/Electrolux. For air conditioning/cooling there are GAHP (gas absorption heat pumps) units that use methane gas as fuel, typically they combine a heating unit and an absorption cooling unit, but there are also chillers only, using "waste" heat or solar here is a simple schematic of how they work: https://goenergylink.com/blog/how-absorption-chillers-work/ https://goenergylink.com/blog/how-absorption-chillers-work/
