Sounds similar to the concept of a swamp cooler to me; maybe look up how they calculate efficiency?
Also, swamp coolers are only effective below a certain temp, so you'd need to think about bypassing (cutting the fan and turning on air con) above a certain threshold
I think it is different from swamp coolers since swamp coolers constantly add moisture to the air in the room which is okay for arid conditions but does not work as the air increasingly becomes saturated with moisture. We use swamp coolers when we can in the initial part of the summers. But they become useless once the rains arrive and the air turns humid.
In the contraption I'm suggesting, does not expose water to the air inside the room. It will work purely on heat exchange principle.
