^^ Whut he saided. I have used well water to cool my cabin. It's off grid. amazing what goofy things we can do when there is no internet, or cell service. I had an old radiator out of a class C motor home, a well with about 45F water(plenty of it), 24VDC regulated power and plenty of 1" sprinkler pipe. In a few hours I had a recirc setup in the cabin. Used a 12V blower fan out of the dead motorhome from the heater, and blew air through a homemade duct to the radiator. Used the feedwater pump to a valve and diverted it to the sprinkler line, through the MH radiator, and dumped back into the well.
It was not efficient, it was not clean, fancy, or quiet, but it cooled rather nicely from 1-6PM. The keys are 1) having a large differential between the transfer media(water) and the surrounding air. 2) using the largest heat exhanger you can find. I lucked out finding this big V8 3 row radiator, which had to dissipate about 150HP at 60MPH.
BTW, I did not do the math, I just started tinkering cause my wife complained it was so hot. We have a propane fridge, and it barely kept the freezer cold, but with the afternoon 'AC' unit, it did much better.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
