Abstract:
1. A storage compartment cooling system comprising: a liquid coolant distribution loop that distributes a chilled liquid coolant to a plurality of storage compartment cooling apparatuses coupled with the liquid coolant distribution loop, the liquid coolant of the liquid circulation distribution loop not undergoing compression by a compressor of a vapor cycle system; a recirculation cooling device including a chiller that chills the liquid coolant to have a temperature lower than an ambient temperature and a circulation unit that circulates the chilled liquid coolant through the liquid coolant distribution loop; and the plurality of storage compartment cooling apparatuses coupled with the liquid coolant distribution loop, the plurality of storage compartment cooling apparatuses arranged in one of two configurations: each of the plurality of storage compartment cooling apparatuses including: wherein each of the controllers is configured to receive a control signal indicating whether the storage compartment cooling apparatuses are in the in-parallel configuration or the in-series configuration, the controller programmed to execute the following control scheme in response to the control signal:
