What temperature is required to drive the cooling cycle?
Based a quick search, it seems that fridges require 100-200 BTU per ft³, and an S9 puts out ~5000 BTU. Given the fridge numbers are correct, an S9 should be sufficient. You would probably have to hydro cool it to efficiently transfer enough heat.
It would be necessary to determine whether or not the water could be heated to the required temp.
I've seen some commercial chillers that can run as low as 158°F (70°C). Different scale, but it might be possible.
