A heat exchanger defining a path of multi-directional airflow therethrough. A coil assembly within a housing of the heat exchanger divides the interior of the housing into first and second airflow plenums. The path of airflow includes a first portion in a first direction defining a cross flow distributed over a portion of the coil assembly in the first airflow plenum. A second portion defines a flow extending from the first airflow plenum in a second direction through the coil assembly. A third portion in the first direction defines a second cross flow distributed over a portion of the coil assembly in the second airflow plenum. In one embodiment, the coil assembly is oriented in an angular manner within the housing of the heat exchanger.

What is claimed is: 1. A system for transporting produce, comprising: a container adapted to hold the produce; and a heat exchanger associated with the container, the heat exchanger comprising: a housing adapted to enclose a coil assembly, the coil assembly tilted in an interior of the housing, the coil assembly partially defining in the housing on opposite sides of the coil assembly a first airflow plenum and a second airflow plenum; and at least one air mover situated adjacent to the housing, the at least one air mover configured to draw airflow through the second airflow plenum in a first generally horizontal direction, the at least one air mover directing the airflow from the second airflow plenum in a second generally vertical direction substantially perpendicular to the first generally horizontal direction; wherein: the heat exchanger further includes another housing configured to enclose another coil assembly, the other coil assembly tilted in another interior of the other housing, the other coil assembly partially defining in the other housing on opposite sides of the other coil assembly a third airflow plenum and a fourth airflow plenum; the other housing is situated on an opposite side of the at least one air mover from the housing, the at least one air mover configured to draw airflow through the fourth airflow plenum in a third direction, the at least one air mover directing the airflow from the fourth airflow plenum in the second generally vertical direction; and the housing includes a top, a bottom, two sides, and two ends, one of the ends at least partially defining an inlet and the other of the ends at least partially defining an outlet. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one further heat exchanger associated with the container. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the heat exchanger is situated in an interior of the container on a top side of the container. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the container comprises a marine container. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the container is configured to transport fresh produce. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to control ripening of fresh produce. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the heat exchanger of the container is configured to produce at least one of cool air, warm air, and dry air. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the coil assembly is oriented within the housing in an angular manner relative to the first generally horizontal direction. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the inlet communicates with the first airflow plenum and the second airflow plenum communicates with the outlet. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein a cross-sectional area of the first airflow plenum diminishes as the air flow is distributed from the inlet and the cross-sectional area of the second airflow plenum increases as the airflow is distributed over the coil assembly toward the outlet. 11. A system for transporting produce, comprising: a container adapted to hold the produce; and a heat exchanger associated with the container, the heat exchanger including: a housing adapted to enclose a coil assembly, the coil assembly tilted in an interior of the housing, the coil assembly partially defining in the housing on opposite sides of the coil assembly a first airflow plenum and a second airflow plenum; at least one air mover situated adjacent to the housing, the at least one air mover configured to draw airflow through the second airflow plenum in a first direction, the at least one air mover directing the airflow from the second airflow plenum in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; another housing adapted to enclose another coil assembly, the other coil assembly tilted in another interior of the other housing, the other coil assembly partially defining in the other housing on opposite sides of the other coil assembly a third airflow plenum and a fourth airflow plenum; and the other housing is situated on an opposite side of the at least one air mover from the housing, the at least one air mover configured to draw airflow through the fourth airflow plenum in a third direction, the at least one air mover directing the airflow from the fourth airflow plenum in the second direction substantially perpendicular to the third direction; wherein each housing includes a top, a bottom, two sides, and two ends, one of the ends at least partially defining an inlet and the other of the ends at least partially defining an outlet. 12. The system of claim 11, further comprising at least one further heat exchanger associated with the container. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the heat exchanger is situated in an interior of the container on a top side of the container. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the container comprises a marine container. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the container is configured to transport fresh produce. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein the system is configured to control ripening of fresh produce. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the heat exchanger of the container is configured to produce at least one of cool air, warm air, and dry air. 18. The system of claim 11, wherein each coil assembly is oriented within the respective housing in an angular manner relative to the first direction. 19. The system of claim 11, wherein the inlet of the housing communicates with the first airflow plenum and the second airflow plenum communicates with the outlet of the housing, and the inlet of the other housing communicates with the third airflow plenum and the fourth airflow plenum communicates with the outlet of the other housing. 20. The system of claim 11, wherein a cross-sectional area of each of the first airflow plenum and the third airflow plenum diminishes as the air flow is distributed from the respective inlet and the cross-sectional area of each of the second airflow plenum and the fourth airflow plenum increases as the airflow is distributed over the respective coil assembly toward the respective outlet.
