My next cooling project will be based around the remains of a drinking
fountain with r134a based cooler...

Yes, condensation will doubtless be an issue... condensation can be an
issue even with PASSIVE cooling however, believe it or not. When I
lived in Ventura, CA .. I had this matrix of five 12V fans that I ran
at around 17V. Each was 5.25 volts, and spun at maddening speeds. They
also had a scary looking claw shape to them, and were quite loud.. but
they cooled the apartment nicely. One day I noticed that after I had
left them running for a while, condensation was forming at the base of
the fan... simply from the pressure and temp changes as the air
whisked thru the fan!
