Abstract
Apparatus for convectively cooling bottles and the like in a heat transfer decorator. Bottles travel on an underlying conveyor where they are subjected to descending air streams issuing from a plenum chamber. Refrigerated or room temperature air is directed from the plenum chamber by a series of fans, and routed through a honeycomb flow straightener which reduces the helical turbulence of the air streams. The air streams pass between nozzle plates which further enhance the flow uniformity.
