Tech/Engineering - Other / bulk storage of potatoes and onions
Dutch term or phrase: aardappelventilatierooster; aardappelrooster
...a type of loadable ventilated floor(ing), constructed of concrete tiles with ventilation slots in them. It is used in large storage rooms to store potatoes, onions etc. so as to ensure ventilation from below.

A good Dutch example, with pictures, of an 'aardappelventilatierooster' or 'aardappelrooster': http://www.dambeton.nl/aardappelventilatieroosters.html
And an English example: http://www.onions-potatoes.com/storage/storage-systems/stora...

I was wondering if anyone had a clever English term for this, other than trying to describe it like ... 'ventilated flooring for potato storage' or some such?

Some context:

'Onder de nieuwe BRL en certificaten vallen: roostervloeren, dichte vloerelementen, onderslagbalken en opstortvloeren. Zowel beloopbaar als berijdbaar. Het berijdbare is een volkomen nieuw aspect. Tevens ressorteren sleufsilowandelementen en mestsilowandelementen onder de nieuwe BRL. De gecertificeerde betonelementen halen veiligheidsklasse 1 en hebben een referentieperiode van 20 jaar. Voorts kunnen in de toekomst ook andere (berijdbare) betonproducten aan de nieuwe BRL worden getoetst, zoals berijdbare ***ventilatieroosters*** c.q. aardappelroosters.' (http://www.swaansbeton.nl/newsp.php?id=30)

'Er bestaan 4 soorten aardappelroosters: met langsgleuven en dwarsgleuven, met gleuf 1.5 of 2 cm.'

'Wij produceren roostervloeren voor varkensstallen, zeugenstallen en rundveestallen. Wij zijn ook specialist in ***aardappel- en ventilatieroosters***, sleufsilopanelen en prefabbeton voor industrie en de groensector.' (http://www.beton-dobbelaere.be/?utm_source=truvo&utm_medium=...

slatted floor (for venting)
Explanation:
Plastic-Coated Slatted Floors Used In Potato 'Cooler' Storage Building
old plastic-coated slatted floors designed for hog confinement buildings in our potato æcooler' storage building. We grow 15 tons of potatoes every year and put them in bags which we stack in the building. The slats help ventilate to keep them from rotting. Air is blown down through the building walls and then comes...

The basic principles that are used in a natural ventilated stores are:
that the incoming heat in the store from solar irradiation is restricted to a minimum and is removed from the store by ventilation
the surplus of field heat of the potatoes is removed soonest
that the heat produced in the respiration process of the potato is removed by ventilation
measures are taken to improve the stack ventilation (e.g. restricted piling height, pile not covered with airtide material, slatted floor, little adhering soil)
