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.

Systems and methods for airflow management around palletized cases of goods in a warehouse storage facility are provided, in which airflow around each individual layer of cases is facilitated while airflow “spillage” around the sides, top or bottom of pallet assemblies is minimized or eliminated. One exemplary device for such airflow management includes palletized product spacers disposed between respective layers of vertically stacked cases, in which the product spacers facilitate a substantially unidirectional longitudinal airflow. Another exemplary airflow management device is a series of automatically adjustable air dams disposed at the tops of respective pallet assemblies which prevent air spillage and establish intermediate air manifold spaces. Yet another device is a lateral pallet spacer prevents direct abutment of the side surfaces of neighboring pallet assemblies and thereby ensures that the air manifold spaces are in fluid communication with the spacers of multiple pallet assemblies.

A spacer for use between adjacent pairs of stacked cases, the spacer comprising: a plurality of substantially planar, elongate upper support surfaces extending in a first x-y plane of a Cartesian coordinate system;a plurality of substantially planar, elongate lower support surfaces extending in a second x-y plane of a Cartesian coordinate system, said second x-y plane spaced from said first x-y plane by a distance in the z-direction, wherein an overall coverage area is defined by the upper support surfaces and the lower support surfaces;said lower support surfaces respectively interposed between adjacent pairs of said upper support surfaces, wherein the upper support surfaces and the lower support surfaces each define up to half of the overall coverage area of the spacer;a plurality of sidewalls each connecting one of said upper support surfaces to an adjacent one of said lower support surfaces, such that said upper and lower support surfaces cooperate with said sidewalls to form an undulating profile of lands and valleys, adjacent pairs of said sidewalls each defining an airflow channel having a cross-sectional area defined by a distance between said adjacent pairs of sidewalls along the y-direction and a distance between the upper and lower support surfaces in the z-direction, andeach said airflow channel having a longitudinal extent along the x-direction;a plurality of stiffeners interconnecting said adjacent pairs of said sidewalls with an adjacent one of said upper support surfaces, said stiffeners disposed in a y-z plane; anda second plurality of stiffeners disposed along the x-direction, said second plurality of stiffeners protruding upwardly into said airflow channel. 2. The spacer of claim 1, wherein said cross-sectional area is substantially consistent along said longitudinal extent of said airflow channel. 3. The spacer of claim 1, wherein said plurality of upper support surfaces, said plurality of lower support surfaces, said plurality of sidewalls and said plurality of stiffeners are formed as a single monolithic structure. 4. The spacer of claim 3, wherein said monolithic structure is formed from a polymer material. 5. The spacer of claim 1, wherein said plurality of stiffeners comprises a pair of end stiffeners formed at each longitudinal end of said upper support surfaces. 6. The spacer of claim 5, wherein said upper support surfaces each further comprise at least one intermediate stiffener disposed between said pair of end stiffeners, said intermediate stiffener comprising an indented portion forming a rib, such that said rib extends into an adjacent one of said airflow channels. 7. The spacer of claim 6, wherein said at least one intermediate stiffener comprises a plurality of intermediate stiffeners disposed at regular intervals along a longitudinal extent of each of said upper support surfaces. 8. The spacer of claim 7, wherein said plurality of intermediate stiffeners define surface interruptions in each respective one of said upper support surfaces, said surface interruptions comprising less than 15% of a total surface area of each respective one of said upper support surfaces. 9. The spacer of claim 7, wherein said lower support surfaces each further comprise at least one lower stiffener disposed between said plurality of intermediate stiffeners, said lower stiffener comprising an indented portion forming a lower rib, such that said rib extends into an adjacent one of said airflow channels. 10. The spacer of claim 9, wherein said pair of end stiffeners, said intermediate stiffeners and said lower stiffeners cooperate to impart mechanical strength to said undulating profile of lands and valleys sufficient to maintain at least 95% of an overall height of said spacer under a load of 270 pounds per square foot. 11. The spacer of claim 10, wherein: the overall height of said spacer is defined along the z-direction between said lower support surfaces and said upper support surfaces; anda protrusion depth of said rib is less than 20% of said overall height, whereby said rib prevents substantial lateral escape of air from said airflow channel while facilitating longitudinal airflow along the x-direction. 12.
