Not really looking to freeze or even refrigerate anything.
They just need to knock the temp down 10 or 15 degrees from ambient. The warmest temp the outside of the unit will be is in the 80's during the summer probably. Any warmer than that and we shut the windows and turn the AC on. The cooling system will just be there to make sure the internal temp doesn't go above 70.
I'd think if a thermo system can take a 5 Cu.F Vinotemp down to 35 degrees, the same thing can keep a 20 Cu.F freezer at 70 degrees in an 85 degree ambient environment.
