Abstract
Embodiments to help improve an airflow using e.g., an airflow director, an aerodynamic tail, etc. for a transport unit are disclosed. Structures and methods herein are related to directing airflow to low pressure areas in relation to the transport unit which can improve energy efficiency, counter turbulent airflows, and/or reduce drag. Surface features, such as one or more openings, louvers, tunnels, baffles, air directors, deflectors, inverters, etc. are strategically arranged or positioned on the aerodynamic faring to help direct an airflow toward a transport refrigeration unit when the temperature controlled transport unit is in motion. An aerodynamic tail can direct an airflow to a relatively low pressure region at a rear end of the transport unit when the transport unit is in motion to reduce or eliminate the relatively low pressure region. The features may be stored within a storage structure attached to a rear door of the transport unit.
