The air passes through the plurality of air inlets 133 of the front panel 13, and then the air leaves the front panel 13 through the plurality of air outlets 134 at the sides of the collection space CS. Then, the air flows into the two peripheral corridors FC (first corridors) that communicate between the front panel 13 and the module housing 17 . In some embodiments, the peripheral corridor FC is defined by the lateral spacing between the front end of the assembly housing 17 , one of the side doors 16 , and a portion of the stress distribution member 24 . The peripheral corridor is further defined by the vertical separation between the deck 11 and the upper cover 12 .
