Larger chiller-Venting into an A/C return Duct?

[Acroholic]

I have a new chiller on the way (Tradewind 1/2HP in-line).

Venting: If the chiller vents into the room, then the return air duct picks it up at the return vents in the room. I have a return air duct running about a foot from the chiller. What is to stop me from venting with a motorized fan directly into the return duct, as the air would end up there anyways? This would be room air, same as any other air entering the returns in the room, except warmer. This would not be humid salt air from the sump area.

Opinions? Options?

Hmmm... I'm no Hvac guy, but I don't see any drawback to it except that it will cause your AC to run a little harder. Since the air being drawn into the unit will be hotter than the ambient air.
