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.
Non-return dampers close automatically.
When the system is in operation, the blades open when air flows.
When the system is shut down, the blades close due to their weight. They safely prevent air from flowing against the intended airflow direction.
Nominal sizes | 200 × 180 to 1600 × 1665 mm |
Free area | Approx. 60 %, with insect screen approx. 45 % |
Total differential pressure – exhaust air | 55 Pa at 2.5 m/s |
Total differential pressure – fresh air | 60 Pa at 2.5 m/s |
Operating temperature | –20 to 80 °C |
Maximum pressure | 100 Pa |
Combinations of an external weather louvre and a non-return damper.
Rectangular external weather louvre as a protection of air conditioning systems against the direct ingress of rain, leaves and birds into fresh air and exhaust air openings.
Rectangular non-return damper to prevent air from flowing against the intended airflow direction.
Ready-to-install component which consists of a border, aerofoil rain defence blades, and a wire mesh at the rear.
Non-return damper which consists of a casing, blades with low-friction bearings, and travel stop and sealing parts.

Notes on the order code
⑥ The nominal size equals the dimensions of the duct connected to the non-return damper. Depending on the size of the installation opening, an installation subframe may have to be used.
