As I understand it that volume should include the DPF in its vacuum containment, the alpha power takeoff gear, the caps and switches and other electronics directly involved in the DPF cycle, an “onion” of indeterminate thickness and any power circuitry that’s part of it, the heat rejection gear to transfer the heat of all of the above out of the box and a roughly spherical volume of water about a meter in radius surrounded by a shell of other materials a few centimeters thick.

Outside the box there is presumed to be an external power feed to prime the caps and the cooling gear to handle the heat rejected from the box.

So what have I missed that needs to be in the box?

And what have I missed that that is required by an FF DPF but does not necessarily need to be in the box itself?

Cooling tower, or heat exchanger with lake water discharge, or dry cooling unit (3 times as big as the wet one) or some combination of these, and associated pumps. Transformers to adjust electricity to needed voltage(s).
None of these need to be or, in some cases can be, in the box.
