INTRODUCTION
Dasco manufacture a variety types of louvers designed for

intake, exhaust and control air movement applications.
www.dasco.com.kw
Their strong, clean lines and careful workmanship enhance
the appearance of the building, whether it is industrial,
commercial or domestic. While most of the louvers are
mainly manufactured in complete lines of extruded
aluminium blades, and to complement or accentuate
architectural feature, such as round, arched and angular
structures, Dasco can offer and modify special
louvers incorporating virtually any combination of round,
diagonal and rectilinearframe segments to be suitable for
different applications and architectural requirements.
Introduction
PRODUCT RANGE
GENERAL
It is well understood in HVAC engineering, that a proper air conditioning or ventilating system
can not operate efficiently without an efficient air movement component device. Hence, louver
have been always considered as one of the most important air terminal devices which utilize and
control the flow of air in and out of the buildings. Louver structure “frame and blades” can also
be modified and reinforced to withstand excessive loads and to play a role in effective weather
protection.
Plenty of louver blades have been re-developed and many others newly designed to permit and
help louversto be complied in many of the recent engineering applications.

FRESH AIR LOUVERS
GENERAL
Dasco fresh air louvers (DFL-11H) are
considered as an architectural air inlets and
outlets with a remarkable clean and aesthetically
pleasing appearance. They are widely and
successfully used for central airconditioning,
ventilation and industrial ventilation systems.
These louvers have a low resistance to air flow
and high free area, making them a preferred
choice for installations which require high air Fresh Air Louver (DFL - 11H)
flow.
DESCRIPTION
DFL-11H louvers have a 2 inch deep fixed horizontal vanes (blades) which are carefully designed
to get low pressure drop, maximum free area and to prevent wind and rain-water penetration.
They are available in1.25” flanged (flat or curved) frame which in turn is mechanically joined to
give the highest rigidity and strength. Louvers can be supplied as optional with galvanized bird or
aluminium insect screen, volume control damper and air filter of 1”, 2” or 4” thickness. The filters
are accessable from the side or backward of the louver depending upon type of installation and must
be specified by the customers. These louvers are available in standard given sizes however, they
can be supplied in other requested sizes and architectural shapes upon customers requirements.
MATERIAL AND FINISH

DFL-11H louvers are made of heavy gauge
extruded aluminium profiles. They are available
in white polyester powder coated finish or any
other RAL standard colour upon customer’s
request. Bird screens are made of galvanized
expanded metal sheets, however dampers are
made of extruded aluminium profiles.

DEFINITIONS & SELECTION PROCEDURE
DEFINITIONS
Face velocity : Is the air stream velocity measured at the face of a louver in FPM.
CFM : Is the air flow rate in cubic feet per minute.
Effective free area : Is in ft2 , and is related to the other parameters by the equation :
www.dasco.com.kw
CFM = Free Area x Face velocity
= Ak x Vk
Total pressure drop : Is the sum of static pressure and velocity pressure given in inches W.G
SELECTION PROCEDURE
Example:
Louver size required for an exhaust requirements of 1600 CFM with a total pressure drop of
0.016” W.G.
1) From the pressure requirement table 1 it shows that a 400 FPM velocity results an exhaust
pressure drop of 0.016 W.G.
2) Determine the effective free area.
Effective free area Ak = CFM

Vk
1600 2
= = 4.0 ft

3) From table 2 the 4.0 ft2 effective free area is suitable for the following sizes: 28” x 54”,
48” x 30” ... etc.
Note:
For other louver sizes not shown in table 2. The approximate effective free area in square feet can
be calculated by using the following formula:-
Effective free area (Ak) = (0.5H - 0.25) x (W-0.125)

where, H is Height in ft and W is Width in ft.

PRESSURE RELIEF LOUVERS - GRAVITY SHUTTERS
GENERAL
Dasco pressure relief louvers DPRL-33 are
widely used to maintain constant level of
pressure inside pressurized rooms by relieving
www.dasco.com.kw
excess air when it exceeds the desired limits.
The blades are designed and positioned in such
a way to permit automatic lifting to relieve the
pressure in the room and then to drop back to
the closed position by gravity when the room
pressure is normalized. DPRL-33 louvers can

switched off.
They are generally installed at exhaust ducts in
painting plants, diesel g enerator rooms,
ventilation systems and kitchen hoods.
DESCRIPTION
Dasco pressure relief louvers-gravity shutters - (DPRL-33) are made of light weight horizontal
pivoted blades, so designed to seal air leakages when closed and to reduce noise generation when
