Description
CL80 pvc air inlet louvers are designed to enhance splash-out control in cooling tower applications. Whether for counterflow or crossflow cooling towers, the CL80 modular louvers include a tight, nested seal between modules to prevent air and water bypass. This design ensures consistent and efficient airflow, while minimizing the risk of water loss. Moreover, the refined flute geometry in the louvers reduces light penetration, which helps to limit algae growth in the cold water basin, further reducing maintenance and chemical usage.
Key Features of CL80 Air Inlet Louvers
High Durability: Made from age-resistant, effective materials, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Fire Protection Compliance: The louvers are designed using a unique formula with highly effective flame-retardant additives that meet the highest fire protection standards.
Stable Construction: These louvers feature a special welding process, with multiple welding points, ensuring they remain structurally stable and durable. The full-edge welding further enhances the strength of the modules.
High Deposition Rate: The louvers are engineered with a special construction design that results in an excellent deposition rate, improving overall cooling tower performance.
