Designed for use as a fresh air and exhaust air louvre.
EKO-Y consists of a pressed sheet metal mounting frame with an insert of formed blades and wire netting. The blades are specially designed to prevent the ingress of rain while offering low air resistance. A drip strip is located at the bottom of the louvre. The louvre insert is secured to the mounting frame by screws. As standard, the louvre is delivered with a protection mesh, but an insect mesh can be mounted as an accessory. For small air volumes, there is a die-cast variant, see EKO-YA.
The louvre is available in two versions:
• EKO-YL with a frame for wall mounting
• EKO-YZ with a screw edge for connection to a duct or a wall opening.
EKO-Y is an outer wall louvre with short separator panels and is not intended for use in facilities that require weather protection louvres. For these facilities, we recommend EKO-YV/YVB, which has improved protection against water penetration and is tested according to standard EN 13030, capable of withstanding 93%/97% water separation at a front velocity of 2 m/s.
