Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a structural panel with an integrated bulkhead structure for promoting airflow within a refrigerated container, such as a refrigerated trailer. More specifically, the invention provides a front wall portion for a refrigerated container defining an aperture through which a refrigeration device may extend to the interior of the container. The front wall portion includes a bulkhead structure integrally formed with the front wall via a connecting structure defining one or more air ducts for promoting air flow from a floor of the container and up through an inlet of the refrigeration device. The invention also provides a front wall structure that minimizes hot spots in the container front wall by integrally-forming the front wall, connection structure, and bulkhead structure in a single structural component so as to minimize the use of fastener devices.
