연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method and apparatus for treating a commodity includes a plurality of boxes arranged in two rows with a space formed therebetween. A cover is provided for sealing the two rows of boxes at least along the top surface. A plenum is formed between the two rows of boxes with the plurality of boxes being positioned side-by-side. At least one air handler is positioned to pull air through and/or around the plurality of boxes and through ventilation holes in the boxes and/or through spacers positioned between adjacent boxes and along a length of the space formed between the two rows. The air may be discharged upwardly, horizontally or downwardly therefrom. An even flow of air is achieved between adjacent boxes, through ventilation holes in the boxes and/or through spacers positioned between adjacent boxes and along the two rows of pallets for evenly treating a commodity positioned on the pallets.

The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said commodity is a food product. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one pulling air handler includes at least one fan operatively connected to a motor being disposed within the housing to pull air from between the plurality of boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1, and further including a cover for covering any space formed between adjacent boxes. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein two or more pulling air handlers include a housing that is approximately the size of a stack of boxes loaded with the commodity, said two or more pulling air handlers being positioned along the rows of boxes and at least one fan is operatively connected to a motor disposed within the housing to pull air through the ventilation holes in the boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the cover extends along end surfaces of the two rows of boxes to seal the two rows of boxes along the top surface and the end surfaces. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one pulling air handler is positioned above the two rows of boxes and being in communication with the plenum formed therebetween to evenly pull air through the ventilation holes in the boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein two pulling air handlers are positioned above the two rows of boxes and being in communication with the plenum formed therebetween to evenly pull air through the ventilation holes in the boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows, said two pulling air handlers being spaced a predetermined distance from each other. 9. An apparatus to freeze a commodity comprising: a plurality of boxes of a commodity arranged in two rows having a predetermined length or height with a space formed therebetween;a sealing cover positioned on at least a portion of a top surface of the commodities sealing the space between the two rows of boxes, wherein the boxes are at least one box in width along the predetermined length or height;a ventilation spacer being positioned at least beneath adjacent boxes to ventilate therebetween;a plenum formed between said two rows of boxes with the cover positioned on the top thereof wherein a flow of air is pulled through the spacer disposed beneath the boxes; andat least one pulling air handler pulling air in a temperature range of 8 degrees F. to −20 degrees F. (−13.33 degrees C. to −28.88 degrees C.) through the ventilation spacer disposed beneath the boxes and along a length of the space formed between the two rows and discharging the air therefrom, wherein an even flow of air is pulled through the ventilation spacer and along the two rows of boxes to evenly freeze a commodity positioned in the boxes;said at least one pulling air handler being positioned approximately midway between the two rows of boxes to evenly pull air through the ventilation spacer disposed beneath the boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows, said at least one pulling air handler including a housing that is approximately the size of a stack of boxes loaded with the commodity said at least one pulling air handler being disposed within the housing to pull air through the ventilation spacer disposed beneath the boxes and along the length of the space formed between the two rows. 10.
