Open Rate by Louver Radian
Figure 10: Open Rate by Louver Radian Formula.
ho
ho = h * COS
Total Area (A) = H * W
Number of Open Spaces (N) = (Number of Louvers - 1)
Effective Area (Af) = ho * W * N
Louver Open Rate (n) = Af / A
Af = A * n
Effective Cross Section Area
Confirming Air Flow Rate / Total Opening Rate
• Example: LMU363HV
• Airflow Rate: 2,119 ft.
/min.
3
• Velocity of Outlet Air: 12.9 ft./s
• Velocity of Inlet Air: 6.5 ft./s
• Open Rate = 80% or More
Open Rate = Effective Face Area (Af)
Total Face Area (A)
• Discharge Air Guide must be installed.
Formula
• Total Louver Dimension (Excluding Frame) (A) = 3.9 feet x 6.2 feet = 24.2 ft.
• Louver Shield Dimension by Product (B) = 3.12 feet x 2.74 feet = 8.55 ft.
• Inlet Louver Dimension (A - B) = 15.7 ft.
• Equivalent Inlet Dimension (Open Rate 80%) = 15.7 ft
• Equivalent Inlet Air Volume = 12.56 ft.
• Required Air Volume / Equivalent Volume = 4,898 ft.
