Fresh Air Louvers

Kinetics Group fresh air louvers are HVAC ventilation components designed to introduce outdoor air into air-handling units, ducts and building ventilation systems. Standard units use 6063-T6 extruded aluminium frames and blades and include an expanded aluminium filter. Options include bird screens, opposed-blade dampers, custom sizes, RAL powder coating and wall-, duct- or flush-mounted configurations for UAE and MENA projects.

Engineered for Performance.

Product Description

Kinetics Group provides custom fresh air louvers in the UAE for HVAC air-intake, exhaust-air and building ventilation applications. Designed for installation at air-handling units, ventilation ducts, external walls and plant-room openings, Kinetics fresh air louvers support the controlled introduction of outdoor air into mechanical ventilation systems.

For fresh-air applications, the louver is supplied with an aluminium air filter. The filter frame is manufactured from an extruded aluminium profile, while the filter media uses expanded aluminium. An exhaust-air version can be provided using the same louver configuration without the fresh-air filter.

Available in custom dimensions, finishes and mounting arrangements, Kinetics fresh air louvers are suitable for commercial, residential, industrial and infrastructure HVAC projects across the UAE, Middle East and MENA region.

Durable Aluminium Louver Construction

The standard fresh air louver is manufactured with an outer frame and blades made from 6063-T6 extruded aluminium sections. The frame sections are cut to the required dimensions and securely joined at the corners to provide a clean, durable assembly.

Standard construction includes:

  • Extruded aluminium outer frame
  • Extruded aluminium fixed blades
  • 6063-T6 aluminium alloy
  • Expanded aluminium filter media
  • Extruded aluminium filter frame
  • Custom powder-coated finish
  • Multiple mounting configurations
  • Project-specific dimensions

Galvanized steel and stainless-steel construction options may also be considered where required by the project specification.

Filtered Fresh-Air Intake

The integrated aluminium filter helps capture larger airborne particles before outdoor air enters the air-handling unit or ventilation system. This makes the louver suitable for HVAC fresh-air openings where a removable, durable and reusable metallic filter is required.

The louver and filter configuration can be selected according to the required airflow, opening dimensions, free area, pressure drop and project ventilation criteria.

Optional Bird Screen and Opposed-Blade Damper

Kinetics fresh air louvers can be supplied with additional accessories to meet consultant and contractor specifications.

Available options include:

  • Aluminium bird screen
  • Galvanized steel bird screen
  • Opposed-blade volume control damper
  • Aluminium air filter
  • Custom frame and blade thickness
  • Special material construction
  • Powder coating in selected RAL colours

An opposed-blade damper can be installed behind the louver where airflow regulation or balancing is required.

Wall-Mounted, Duct-Mounted and Flush-Mounted Louvers

Fresh air louvers are available in different installation arrangements to suit architectural and mechanical requirements:

Wall-Mounted Fresh Air Louver

Designed for installation within external wall openings, plant rooms, service areas and building ventilation openings.

Duct-Mounted Fresh Air Louver

Suitable for direct connection to HVAC ductwork, fresh-air intake ducts and air-handling-unit intake systems.

Flush-Mounted Fresh Air Louver

Provides a neat installation where the louver face must align closely with the surrounding wall, panel or façade surface.

Custom Sizes for UAE HVAC Projects

Kinetics fresh air louvers can be manufactured in a wide range of project-specific widths and heights. Units exceeding approximately 2000 mm × 1200 mm may be supplied in multiple sections for assembly at the installation location.

The catalogue states an opening-air ratio of approximately 0.41. Final louver sizing should be based on the required airflow volume, free-area velocity, acceptable pressure drop, water-penetration criteria and available wall or duct opening.

Powder-Coated RAL Finishes

Fresh air louvers can be powder coated in selected RAL colours to coordinate with architectural façades, equipment finishes and project colour schedules. The required colour, gloss level and coating specification should be confirmed during technical submittal and order approval.

FAQ

What is a fresh air louver?

A fresh air louver is a fixed-blade ventilation component installed at an outdoor-air intake opening. It allows air to enter an HVAC system while accommodating accessories such as filters, bird screens and airflow-control dampers.

What is the difference between a fresh air louver and an exhaust air louver?

A fresh air louver is generally supplied with an air filter for outdoor-air intake. An exhaust air louver uses a similar blade and frame arrangement but may be supplied without the fresh-air filter.

Do Kinetics fresh air louvers include a filter?

Yes. The fresh-air configuration can include a filter frame made from extruded aluminium and expanded aluminium filter media.

Can a fresh air louver be supplied with a volume control damper?

Yes. An opposed-blade damper can be supplied behind the louver when the HVAC design requires airflow adjustment or balancing.

Are bird screens available?

Yes. Aluminium or galvanized steel bird screens can be added according to the project specification.

What mounting types are available?

Fresh air louvers can be manufactured for wall-mounted, duct-mounted and flush-mounted installation.

Can fresh air louvers be manufactured in custom sizes?

Yes. Louvers are available in project-specific dimensions. Large openings may be divided into multiple sections for site assembly.

How is the correct fresh air louver size selected?

Selection should consider the design airflow, louver free area, free-area velocity, pressure drop, water-penetration requirements, filter resistance and available opening dimensions.
