Functional description

External weather louvres are externally mounted air transfer devices for the fresh air and exhaust air of air conditioning systems. They are installed in external walls and façades. Their narrowly arranged blades give good protection against the direct ingress of rain as well as against leaves and birds.

Under certain unfavourable conditions, such as heavy rain, and depending on the airflow velocity it might happen that slight quantities of water enter together with the air.

This is why the airflow velocity in fresh air openings should not exceed 2 – 2.5 m/s.

Nominal sizes

Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the volume flow rates with an airflow velocity of 2.5 m/s. Values for intermediate widths can be interpolated. Precise intermediate values and volume flow rates for other airflow velocities can be calculated with our Easy Product Finder design programme.

The sound power levels LWA apply to external weather louvres with a flow cross section of 1 m².
