<VV> Icewater Air Conditioner

[corvairduval at cox.net]

Hey Bill,

Remember that a ton of cooling is 12,000 btu, and the GM A-6 compressor
that came on your car originally was rated at 5 tons @ 60 mph (rough rule
of thumb).

The term ton of cooling refers to the cooling capacity of a ton of ice. 

I hope your ice chest is big ebough to hold several tons of ice for a hot
day!

Frank DuVal

With so little ice, it would have only a very short term cooling ability. 
You need something with at least 100 pounds of ice or maybe a freon 
compressor?
