nope not really, they are designed to operate at a different temperature but still have a low duty cycle.
Bar fridges, full size fridges, freezers ect all have motors with very low duty cycles as they are not designed to run much. to get something with a decent duty cycle you are looking at more than it would be to buy a chiller in the first place.
now if you want to look into a home made chiller, start looking at window ACs hooked to a heat exchanger. you will need some one who is certified to do refrigeration work to plumb it and in the end it might save you 100.00 on a chiller (unless you already have a AC you can use)
