Yeah it is, and I've heard of people using it in AC systems although it's illegal and I do not recommend it. The big diesel fired reefer units that they use to cool semi trailers and such actually use propane as a refrigerant, since they are usually mounted to the front of the trailer, there is little danger of them getting punctured in an accident.
I've often thought of getting ahold of one and running it on biodiesel, would make a pretty spiffy, albeit noisy, shop cooler!
