 So you got all that wrong too.
There are several variants, and several patents.
The absorbtion cooler works quite well,

There was a group of students some years ago, who had rebuilt the Einstein-Szillard device as a project and complained, that it wouldn't cool.
At that time I had read an article, that the Einstein-Szillard device has only one known use:
as part of a fast breeding reactor.
So: what if 'fridge' was just a fake name, and the device WAS in fact meant as part for a fast breeding reactors?
This would mean, that atomic bombs were known well before the manhattan project and especially by Szillard and Einstein.
Is this possible????
I would say: yes, it is.
I had always the impression, that the entire Manhattan project was actually used to 'gag' the physicists and not meant to discover anything.
I also think, the Nazis had already atomic bombs, but didn't want to use them.
(Atomic bombs are actually stupid weapons and are for all practical purposes impossible to use.)

and other variants of it have been mass produced
for use in recreational vehicles.

Absorption cooling devices were of course known before Einstein's 'fridge'.
It is this particular design, what we're talking about.

The Einstein-Szilard liquid metal pump also works just fine.
Liquid metal pumps were used in fast breeder reactors
(when these still existed)

Which recreational vehicle uses a metal pump???

but they are also used in more mundane devices,
such as soldering machines.
Your phone may have been made using one.

Possibly Einstein had a soldering machine, too??
(for smartphones?)

 

So, possibly they had build an atomic bomb already in Berlin and needed
more plutonium there, hence such a breeding reactor was built and
Einstein provided his 'fridge'.

 This is not just completely wrong, it is completely ludicrous,

Well, who knows?
There was already the case of 'Tunguska' and a possible explanation as explosion of an atomic bomb.
There were other incidents, which could possibly had been detonations of nuclear devices.
This is all not known and too long ago to investigate this today.
And the governments involved have certainly no incentive to support such investigations.
So what?
