Abstract
In some embodiments, a device may include one or more thermal insulation panels defining an enclosure and a phase change material (PCM) within the enclosure. The device may further include at least one unidirectional heat pipe including a proximal portion extending into the enclosure, a distal portion extending outside of the enclosure, and an intermediate portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion. In one aspect, the device may also include a heat sink including a plurality of heat fins configured to dissipate heat, the heat sink coupled to the distal end of the at least one unidirectional heat pipe.
