Can you use a window a/c unit to cool chilling water?

Crazy thought - would it be possible to rig up a window a/c unit to your chilling water(using the pond pump technique) and keep it cold instead of using ice? It's not safe to let me work on electrical appliances, but I'm wondering if anyone else has tried it.

It would be better to push the hot air outside, though. I also heard of people using glycol reservoirs in a chest freezer with a pump and a temp controller.
