tarnerõhu

Tarnerõhu is a term used in Estonian-language logistics discussions to describe transient air-pressure changes inside a storage or distribution facility caused by the movement of air during loading and unloading operations. The word is commonly analyzed as being formed from tarne (delivery) and rõhk (pressure), with the suffix -õhu functioning to indicate an air-related phenomenon. In practical use, tarnerõhu refers to brief bursts of higher or lower air pressure that can occur near loading docks, within corridors, or around doors when ventilation systems start, stop, or airflow is disrupted by rapid door openings.

In application, tarnerõhu is considered when evaluating indoor air quality, odor dispersion, and the physical integrity of packaged goods. It also informs decisions related to HVAC design, door scheduling, and ventilation zoning in warehouses and similar facilities. While the concept is discussed among professionals, it is typically treated as an informal or heuristic term rather than a formal technical standard, and it is used to highlight dynamic pressure effects rather than to prescribe a fixed measurement protocol.

Tarnerõhu is most commonly encountered in Estonian logistics literature and professional practice, where it appears in discussions of operational efficiency, safety, and environmental controls within warehouse environments. See also indoor air quality, HVAC design, and warehouse logistics.
