-~ Gravity Louvers (GL)

The GL is a wall mounted device that is composed of a

set of horizontally mounted blades that are normally
closed and are free to rotate arround their horizontal
axis.

This louver serves as a non-return damper and can be

used at the exit terminal of exhaust ducts and fans.

Certain pressure is usually required before the damper

opens to expel t he exhaust air, which ensures t he elimi-
nation of back now.

The blades are made from light weight aluminium

sheets, while the frame is made from extruded
aluminium.
