1. A cooling system for a heat source, comprising:

  • a heat source loop that provides a closed fluid path for a process fluid, which loop fluidly connects a valve, at least one of a bypass leg and a heat exchange leg having a heat exchanger, and a pump, wherein the process fluid disposed within a portion of the loop is subject to heat transfer from the heat source, and the valve is disposed downstream of the heat source portion of the loop, wherein the valve is selectively operable to direct process fluid to at least one of the bypass leg and the heat exchanger leg;

    a refrigerant loop that provides a closed fluid path for a fluid refrigerant, which refrigerant loop fluidly connects the heat exchanger, a refrigerant compressor, a refrigerant condenser, and a refrigerant regulator; and

    a controller in communication with the valve and adapted to control the valve to regulate an amount of process fluid entering the bypass leg and the heat exchanger leg.
