A cooling unit (10) includes a housing (12) having a front (14) and a back (16), one or more fans (28) provided at either the front (14) or the back (16) of the housing (12), and a V-shaped evaporator (30) positioned within the housing (12) and coupled to a source of liquid refrigerant. The V-shaped evaporator (30) has two panels extending from adjacent to the bottom (22) of the housing to adjacent to the top (24) of the housing (12) when positioning the evaporator (30) in the housing (12). The arrangement is such that an inside of the panels of the evaporator (30) faces air being drawn through the housing (12) of the cooling unit (10) by the fan (28).
