Intake air louver selection using a free area velocity below 930 fom is recommended. Louver selection involves the following steps, and depending on the information Provided, ether step may come first Select Free Area Velocity - Fan Forced Intake: Using the Airfiow Resistance Chart, select a free area velocity that produces an acceptable pressure drop with minimal ‘water penetration. (Water penetration is not typically considered when selecting exhaust louvers.) Determine Louver Free Area: Using the free area velocity from previous step and total cfm, determine the louver Free Area required. Using louver Free ‘Area Chart, select a louver with the required free area. If louver size is given, determine free area from chart and work backwards to determine maximum airflow.
