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
An apparatus comprising:
- an airflow control baffle dimensioned to be removably coupled to a receiving component that facilitates the flow of air through an enclosed container, the airflow control baffle comprising:
- a support frame that is dimensioned to removably couple the airflow control baffle to the receiving component;
- and
- an airflow control zone coupled to the support frame such that the airflow control zone affects airflow through an opening defined by the receiving component.
A system comprising:
- an enclosed container that permits airflow through the interior of the enclosed container;
- an airflow control baffle, the airflow control baffle comprising:
- a support frame;
- and
- an airflow control zone coupled to the support frame;
- and
- a receiving component that is coupled to the enclosed container and facilitates airflow through the interior of the enclosed container, wherein the receiving component:
- defines an airflow opening that permits air to flow through the receiving component;
- and
- is dimensioned to receive the airflow control baffle such that the airflow control baffle is positioned to affect the flow of air through the airflow opening.
A method comprising:
- unfastening a first airflow control baffle from a receiving component of an enclosed container, wherein:
- the receiving component is coupled to the enclosed container such that objects coupled to the receiving component affect airflow through at least a portion of the enclosed container;
- and
- the first airflow control baffle is removably coupled to the receiving component;
- removing the first airflow control baffle from the receiving component;
- and
- coupling a second airflow control baffle to the receiving component such that the second airflow control baffle is removably coupled to the receiving component and affects airflow through the portion of the enclosed container.
