No, you have heat and mass transfer limitations.
In a nut shell a cooler full of ice can only very slowly soak up a little bit of heat even with a fan blowing on it, from a relatively large room with bad heat infiltration.
Since I understand thermo a lot more than the average person but a lot less than a mechanical engineer I made my ice chest cooler rig to pump ice water through about 80 ft of plastic line that goes in contact with your clothing. I know enough to understand why a few pounds of ice will never be able cool a room or the inside of a car, but it can cool a person for a few hours.
You can effectively cool a room with ice and fans but it takes at least hundreds of pounds of ice and fans.
