Abstract
A container designed for carrying payload and being removably installable and dimensioned to fit in a cargo bay of an aircraft. Included in the container is a payload compartment having space defined by the payload compartment for carrying the payload. A heat exchanger is installed within the container to perform heat exchange operation for the payload using a coolant. A heat exchanger control unit controls the heat exchange operation of the heat exchanger between the payload and the heat exchanger using an internal circuitry.

A container designed for carrying payload and being removably installable and dimensioned to fit in a cargo bay of an aircraft, the container comprising:
- a payload compartment having space defined by the payload compartment for carrying the payload;
- a heat exchanger installed within the container to perform heat exchange operation for the payload using a coolant;
- and
- a heat exchanger control unit that controls the heat exchange operation of the heat exchanger between the payload and the heat exchanger using an internal circuitry.
A container designed for carrying payload and being removably installable and dimensioned to fit in a cargo bay of an aircraft, the container comprising:
- a payload compartment having space defined by the payload compartment for carrying the payload;
- a power electric control unit that controls an electric component of the payload via at least one input connection and at least one output connection;
- a heat exchanger installed within the container to perform heat exchange operation for the payload using a coolant;
- and
- a heat exchanger control unit that controls the heat exchange operation of the heat exchanger between the payload and the heat exchanger using an internal circuitry.
