More Information
Summary:A Z-shaped cooling air channel (10) is located in a first air guide wall (1) above the floor of the warehouse (3) in order to form a natural draught cooling system. A cooling air inlet (11), a channel section (12) adjoining the same at right angles and a cooling air outlet (13) situated beneath the cooling air inlet are provided in the cooling air channel. Curved air guide plates (14) which homogenise the flow path of the cooling air (KL) after it has entered the cooling air inlet (11) and direct the flow into the vertical channel section (12) are incorporated at a deviation point in the transition area between the cooling air inlet (11) and the channel section (12) leading to the cooling air outlet (13).
