Anyone use a stand-up AC unit for a glycol chiller build?

[Nubble]

I have an old portable air conditioner that I'd like to repurpose for a DIY glycol chiller. All of the build examples I've seen online use a window-style AC unit. The unit I have is a portable rolling unit similar to this one:

I imagine the overall concept and process is the same for using this type of AC unit (vs a window unit) in a build but I am curious if anyone has experience doing it. Any guidance is appreciated for sure.

Thanks!

Still curious about others' experience though. Anyone else used a standup AC unit?

I used one in the first iteration of my chiller because I had one laying around. It works exactly the same as the window units.

I use an aquarium/hydroponics chiller with water, able to get interior fermenter temps into the upper 40 degree range. A good chiller is around $350
