  • Available in standard sizes and many intermediate sizes
  • Pre-assembled combination, hence fast and easy to install


Optional equipment and accessories

  • Installation subframe
  • Insect screen
  • Powder-coated or anodised surface

Application

Application

  • Combinations of Type WG external weather louvres and Type KUL non-return dampers for protecting fresh air and exhaust air openings in air conditioning systems
  • Protection against the direct ingress of rain as well as against leaves and birds
  • Recommended face velocity for fresh air openings: 2 – 2.5 m/s max.
  • Prevention of unwanted airflows against the intended airflow direction when the system is not in operation
  • Blades close automatically when the system is shut down

Special characteristics

  • Any intermediate sizes within the standard size range are available
  • Low installation effort on site since external weather louvre and non-return damper are factory combined and assembled
  • Operating temperature 20 – 80 °C
  • For very large sizes, several combinations can be arranged side by side or on top of each other
  • Maximum pressure of 100 Pa
  • Low differential pressure due to aerofoil blades
  • Non-return dampers are opened and closed by the airflow; no actuator is required

Nominal sizes

  • B: 200 – 1600 mm, in increments of 1 mm

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.
