Abstract

See full text

In one example, a shell includes walls that collectively define an interior space of the shell, the interior space sized and configured to receive heat generating equipment. An internal heat exchanger disposed within the interior space is arranged for thermal communication with heat generating equipment when heat generating equipment is located in the interior space. Additionally, an external heat exchanger is located outside of the shell and arranged for fluid communication with the internal heat exchanger. Finally, a prime mover is provided that is in fluid communication with the internal heat exchanger and the external heat exchanger, and the prime mover is operable to circulate a flow of coolant through the internal heat exchanger and the external heat exchanger.
