Here's a "retro-tech" site. (steam, etc) there's even a 1915 record player that is powered by a Stirling engine with sterno candle heat.

The page on ammonia engines is mostly the history of failed patents from before WWII, but the bottom of the page has several links to a "Kalina Cycle" which is 70% Ammonia, and 30% water. Like an ammonia refrigeration cycle in reverse. The cooled water (by fan?) helps the vaporised exhaust ammonia condense easier.

Kalina Organic Rankine, 70% Ammonia/30% water
