What that does is allows the warmer air an escape. Cold air is more dense than hot air and it pushes the hot air out. The first thing you have to do is pull the temp of your air down before it cools your product. Try it and watch your pulp temp. I know you may be shaking your head but, I promise you it works.

Has anyone tried this, yet?
Not in a long time, but it does work!
I picked up a load of cabbage from a field in Florida back in the day, and the shipper told me "to air it before I iced it" or the ice on the hot cabbage would leave black spots. Don't know if it is true or not(about the spots), but I let it air before I iced it, and when I got to Boston, It didn't have any spots.

blown in. Or boxed -
If its small, but large enough to crawl through, its used for loading very temperature sensitive freight.
I use the small door to toss in cases of frozen plasma. We are not allowed to open the larger doors because we would lose too much temperature.
