Abstract

A heat transfer cube includes a housing at least partially bounding a compartment, the housing having a first end with a first opening formed thereat that communicates with the compartment and an opposing second end with a second opening formed thereat that communicates with the compartment. A coil unit is disposed within the compartment between the first opening and the opposing second opening. The coil unit includes a first plate, a last plate, and a plurality of tubes each having a first end connected to the first plate and an opposing second end connected to the second plate. The housing further includes an inlet communicating with the first end of each of the plurality of tubes and an outlet communicating with the second end of each of the plurality of tubes. A power cube system includes a heat transfer cube and a power cube, the power cube including a thermal loop and circulation loop.
