Abstract
Systems and methods to distribute airflow in an internal space of a transport unit are described. The airflow distribution system may include an airflow distributor forming an airflow passage with a roof of the transport unit. The airflow distribution system may be also configured to allow airflow to discharge from a gap between the airflow distributor and the roof. The gap may be provided by at least one spacer between the airflow distributor and the roof. A back end of the airflow distribution system may be configured to provide a back pressure to the airflow passage while allowing the airflow to discharge. In operation, a front end of the airflow distribution system may be configured to receive airflow. The airflow can be distributed along the airflow passage and be discharged from the gap and the back end.
