Yes, it is possible to do a conversion but the standard unit of cooling is either BTU or ton. The fact that they failed to use it leaves me very skeptical that the 500watts is directly related to cooling power.
Also while the output btu of all air/cons will vary some depending on conditions, a swamp cooler is exteremly dependent on conditions, so without specifying specific conditions that are typical for air/con use to come up with that number (ie: don't assume 75F with 50% humidity for the test as people generally don't run the air/con in those conditions) it is a meaningless number.
