Abstract
A removable airflow control baffle may be dimensioned to be removably coupled to a receiving component that facilitates the flow of air through an enclosed container. Such an airflow control baffle may include (i) a support frame that is dimensioned to removably couple the airflow control baffle to the receiving component and (ii) an airflow control zone that is coupled to the support frame such that the airflow control zone affects airflow through an opening defined by the receiving component when the airflow control baffle is coupled to the receiving component.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- first airflow control baffle configured to be removably coupled to a receiving component that facilitates a flow of air through an enclosed container, the first airflow control baffle having a first airflow control zone that affects airflow through an opening defined by the receiving component and having an indicator corresponding to an airflow characteristic of the first airflow control zone;
- a second airflow control baffle configured to be removably coupled to the receiving component that facilitates the flow of air through the enclosed container, the second airflow control baffle having a second airflow control zone that affects airflow through the opening defined by the receiving component and having an indicator corresponding to an airflow characteristic of the second airflow control zone, wherein the second airflow control zone is different than the first airflow control zone;
- a first support frame that is configured to removably couple the first airflow control zone to the receiving component;
- a second support frame that is configured to removably couple the second airflow control zone to the receiving component;
- a ventilated drawer that permits airflow through the interior of the enclosed container;
- and
- the receiving component is coupled to the ventilated drawer and facilitates airflow through the interior of the ventilated drawer, wherein the receiving component:
- defines a single airflow opening that permits air to flow through the receiving component;
- is configured to receive the first or the second airflow control baffle such that the first or the second airflow control baffle is positioned to affect the flow of air through the airflow opening;
- and
- is configured to receive the first or the second airflow control baffle without the ventilated drawer being removed from a support rack that holds a plurality of ventilated drawers.
