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.


Linkage

Multileaf dampers with external linkage can have parallel action blades or opposed action blades.

An external linkage transfers the synchronous rotational movement from the drive arm to the individual blades. Even very large multileaf dampers can be safely opened and closed with this type of linkage.

Opposed action blades close at different speeds since the linkage includes a transverse link. This facilitates the closing process and reduces the closed blade air leakage.

Notes on the order code

⑦ The nominal size equals the dimensions of the duct connected to the multileaf damper (without actuator). Depending on the size of the installation opening, an installation subframe may have to be used.

  • Installation opening without installation subframe: B + 95 mm, H + 95 mm
  • Installation opening with installation subframe: B + 115 mm, H + 115 mm


 WG-JZ multileaf dampers cannot be retrofitted with an actuator
