1. A cooling system comprising:
a plurality of cooling panels for affecting a cooling load in an environment, each cooling panel comprising:
a first plate comprising a first plate first side, the first plate first side comprising a plurality of channel features;
a second plate comprising:
a second plate first side in contact with the first plate first side, such that the channel features and the second plate first side together form one or more fluid channels, and
a second plate second side on which a film is applied, wherein the film causes the cooling load to have a temperature that is less than an ambient temperature associated with the environment;
an inlet port;
an outlet port, wherein the one or more fluid channels direct a fluid from the inlet port to the outlet port; and
a heat exchanger comprising a first port coupled to the outlet port and a second port coupled to the inlet port, wherein the heat exchanger is fluidically coupled to the respective one or more fluid channels of the plurality of cooling panels, wherein a fluid provided from the plurality of cooling panels enters the first port at a first temperature, wherein the fluid exits the second port at a second temperature greater than the first temperature, and wherein the heat exchanger is thermally coupled to a refrigeration cycle, the refrigeration cycle comprising a refrigeration cycle fluid configured to be cooled by the heat exchanger.
