In days of yore I had occasion to chauffeur the Mother-in-law around. That kept the cabin temperature very icy I can assure you.
I guess it would, but it doesn't reject heat outside the vehicle. To get maximum value from the small fridge heat pump, it would be preferable to modify/dismantle the fridge and duct cooling air from outside over it's condenser. From a comfort point of view, reducing humidity is usually very effective as perspiration evaporates from the skin more easily.I know the proposed fridge is only small but wouldn't it be attempting to disperse the cabin heat absorbed into the circulating cold water into the separated cargo area via it's condenser?
I did a bit of research on fabricating a Peltier AC system for a motor car. On one VW forum I was on, one poster estimated 5000W worth of Peltier units would be required to match a conventional compressed gas system. I'd need a 450 Amp alternator just to keep up with the Peltiers.So long as you're innovating, go thermoelectric. No pump, no refrigerant, just power to a Peltier device.

I remember the first summer in dad’s 505. It needed the ac regassed and we spent hot days reminiscing about how superior the air vents were on the old 504 with no ac.There are no free lunches in heat transfer. Land Rover solved this problem a lifetime ago. There are flaps under the windscreen which expose the front seat to anything from a gentle breeze to a blast at least equal to the car speed. It was extremely effective, even in midsummer. The body heat removed was carried away out a window or other opening.
No point in approaching the fan idea half arsed shibuichi.You disappoint me.
I don’t know anything about air conditioning but I have watched a lot of Japanese movies and Greenpeace, you are not fully embracing the true spirit of a Suzuki Carry van driver.
You need a wet hand towel draped around your neck and occasionally mop your brow, squint at the sky and mutter “Atsui desu ne!”
If you need to go techno with your cooling, then assemble an array of kawaii personal fans across the dashboard - here’s a cute and adorable selection for inspiration.

The 20l drum would slow down the Carry.How about an evaporative cooling system. 20 litre drum of water (which ought to last quite a while), small 12v pump, garden watering system tubing, a microspray or two squirting water in front of the vent outlets, and an open window to exhaust the hot air. You're still making use of the latent heat of vaporisation but you are wetting the air rather than drying it.

I haven't had a nitrous car for about 20 years but back then it was $10 per pound for refilling.The 20l drum would slow down the Carry.
A NOS kit would work better as the expanding gas creates cooling. They actually make NOS kit heating pads.
This could be replaced by your bottom to keep you cool.
The performance could then drive a good car A/C system.

Bottle gives you 5 x 12 sec cooling shots, just what you wantedI haven't had a nitrous car for about 20 years but back then it was $10 per pound for refilling.
With a 150HP kit a 10 pound bottle was good for around four or five 12 second passes, (1 minute of driving).
The heating blanket is used to ensure consistent cylinder pressure.
If the bottle pressure drops in cooler weather, or as the bottle gets emptier, it messes up the balance between the fuel and nitrous jetting (on a wet system).
The lower the bottle pressure, the richer the system will run, and power output will fall away..
There was never a suggestion by me that the fridge was going to cool the interior.Now the flippant comments: Without being a thermodynamics engineer, I would think that there is some very fanciful thinking going on if you thought a 12v car fridge might cool the interior, but give it a go!
