The Campbell Engine Company made an ammonia engine. Their headquarters were in the Mills Building on Broad and
Wall Streets in New York.
The Campbell ammonia engine worked with water with ammonia dissolved in it is heated to drive off the ammmona, which after its use in an engine is redissolved in the water.
