Your best bet is probably a cold room of sorts. You could also try making a custom stainless coil and running glycol through that. What kind of fermenters are they?

You could get a custom coil like this from Stainless Brewing: http://www.stainlessbrewing.com/6-C...ubing-304304L-HERMSFermentor-coil-_p_264.html
Mount that under the lid of your fermenter and pump cold water through the coils when needed. You'll need a temp controller that will monitor the ferementer through a thermowell and control the pump.
As for chilling the water, you can use frozen water bottles or use an old air conditioner and hack it into a "glycol chiller" (search the forum, plenty of info on the build) or use an aquarium chiller with a cooler.
