Sorry, I mistyped. I meant to say 5gph is a hell of a load. I think my
little undersink unit makes about 3 gallons per day.


3 gal/day -- 0.13 gal/hr * 8.4 lb/gal ~ 1 lb/hr

1 lb/hr * 970 Btu/lb /(12000 Btu/hr/T) -- 0.08 T cooling

Probably not enough to make much difference in an outside environment
unless it's a very small area somehow enclosed from any air movement, etc.
