Larry,
There is obviously something you don't understand about absorption cycle refrigeration.
The hydrogen and now helium are there to make the ammonia behave like it's pressure has been reduced.
This is kind of like the function of the expansion valve in a vapor compression cycle.
The rest of the system is the same as any other absorption system.
It has been in use since the mid 19th century, but the three fluid is much newer as it came along in the early 20th.
