From an efficiency standpoint sure, but then a person has to be able to consistently put out the amount of power the compressor is designed for at the times the compressor needs to run. At least with a storage system the work doesn’t have to be done at the same time it needs to be used.
If it was really to power the fridge then it would be better to turn the compressor directly rather than with electricity?

That’s an interesting thought. You could store pressure in a tank. I wonder how efficient that would be?
