-> Here's an idea which follows on the principles you just mentioned. It
-> requires an old fridge that still works, a couple of small electric
-> boxer fans, some clothes dryer flexible hose, and some ingenuity.
-> The first step is to build an air tight enclosure around the back of the
-> fridge over the evaporator coils. Perhaps just thick plastic film will
-> work as well as a wooden box. Attach the hoses at opposite ends, say top
-> and bottom, and direct them to the outdoors some distance apart so the
-> air can't feed back into them. One hose will be the air intake and the
-> other the heat exhaust. In line with the intake hose mount a first fan
-> to push air through.
-> Second step: the freezer compartment, jam the food channel shut,
-> disconnect the air circulating fan, rip off the insulation over the
-> cooling coils to expose them, make a hole either side of the freezer and
-> jam a hose into each hole so you can redirect the cold air to a
-> distance, one hose will be the air return, and mount the other fan
-> inside so it pushes the return air through the cooling coils. I have no
-> idea how many BTU's might be extracted from the inside air with such a
-> contraption.

 I think you will find the "Air Conditing capacity of a Refigeration
system for a Freezer would be quite low. While you might be impressed by
rhe Bel.ow Zero temperature it might keep the Freezer section Rembmeber
it is only Removing the Heat form a somewhat small Very Well insulated
compartment. IT is NO match for the Heat Load of a typical Room.
