Introduction
Dasco manufacture a variety types of louvers designed for
intake, exhaust and control air movement applications.
Their strong, clean lines and careful workmanship enhance
the appearance of the building, whether it is industrial,
commercial or domestic. While most of the louvers are
mainly manufactured in complete lines of extruded
aluminium blades, and to complement or accentuate
architectural feature, such as round, arched and angular
structures, Dasco can offer and modify special
louvers incorporating virtually any combination of round,
diagonal and rectilinearframe segments to be suitable for
different applications and architectural requirements.

Product Range
It is well understood in HVAC engineering, that a proper air conditioning or ventilating system
can not operate effciently without an effcient air movement component device. Hence, louver
have been always considered as one of the most important air terminal devices which utilize and
control the fow of air in and out of the buildings. Louver structure frame and blades can also
be modifed and reinforced to withstand excessive loads and to play a role in effective weather
protection.
Plenty of louver blades have been re-developed and many others newly designed to permit and
help louversto be complied in many of the recent engineering applications.

FRESH AIR LOUVERS
GENERAL
Dasco fresh ai r l ouvers ( DFL-11H) are
considered as an architectural air inlets and
outlets with a remarkable clean and aesthetically
pl easi ng appearance. They are wi del y and
successfully used for central airconditioning,
ventilation and industrial ventilation systems.
These louvers have a low resistance to air fow
and high free area, making them a preferred
choice for installations which require high air
fow.
DESCRIPTION
DFL-11H louvers have a 2 inch deep fxed horizontal vanes (blades) which are carefully designed
to get low pressure drop, maximum free area and to prevent wind and rain-water penetration.
They are available in1.25 fanged (fat or curved) frame which in turn is mechanically joined to
give the highest rigidity and strength. Louvers can be supplied as optional with galvanized bird or
aluminium insect screen, volume control damper and air flter of 1, 2 or 4 thickness. The flters
are accessable from the side or backward of the louver depending upon type of installation and must
be specifed by the customers. These louvers are available in standard given sizes however, they
can be supplied in other requested sizes and architectural shapes upon customers requirements.
MATERIAL AND FINISH
DFL-11H louvers are made of heavy gauge
extruded aluminium profles. They are available
in white polyester powder coated fnish or any
other RAL standard colour upon customers
request. Bird screens are made of galvanized
expanded metal sheets, however dampers are
made of extruded aluminium profles.

Dasco pressure relief louvers DPRL-33 are
wi del y used to mai ntai n constant l evel of
pressure inside pressurized rooms by relieving
excess air when it exceeds the desired limits.
The blades are designed and positioned in such
a way to permit automatic lifting to relieve the
pressure in the room and then to drop back to
the closed position by gravity when the room
pressure is normalized. DPRL-33 louvers can
also be used at duct terminations to prevent
backdrafts when air moving devices (fans) are
switched off.
They are generally installed at exhaust ducts in
pai nti ng pl ants, di esel generator rooms,
ventilation systems and kitchen hoods.
Pressure Relief Louver
(DPRL - 33)
DESCRIPTION
Dasco pressure relief louvers-gravity shutters - (DPRL-33) are made of light weight horizontal
pivoted blades, so designed to seal air leakages when closed and to reduce noise generation when
opened. The frame is a fanged rugged type (curved or fat) 1.25 wide.
They are available in standard sizes and are also manufactured (as optional) in non-standard sizes
upon customers requirements.

Penthouse Louvers
Dasco penthouse louvers DPHL - 13H are considered as typical louver units for both air intake and
exhaust applications.
They are designed and built to become a permanent part of the building. They maintain their pleasant
appearance and effective weather protection as a result of their rugged, durable, extruded aluminium
construction and careful workmanship. They are usually furnished with either mullion or mitered
corners and incorporate the normal Dasco fresh air louver blades DFL-11H as standard. However,
any other type of Dasco louver blades can also be used as optional.
PENTHOUSE LOUVERS
GENERAL
28
DPHL - 13H penthouse louvers have as a standard 2 deep fxed horizontal blades. The blades are
carefully designed to get low pressure drop, maximum free area and to prevent rain-water penetration.
They are available in 1.25 fanged frame and are built and mounted to an internal framing with
mullion corners. The integral framing mullion structures are furnished with a standard 1.6 x 1.6
extruded aluminium profiles. For the other mitered corners type penthouse louvers, blades are
beveled and welded internally at the end. The top of the penthouses are covered with fat or pitched
roofs of aluminium sheets. All of the four louver sides are of removable type for easy maintenance
purposes. Penthouse louvers can also be supplied as optional with galvanized bird or insect screens
and / or aluminium washable air flters of 1, 2, or 4 thickness.

DSPL-16H louvers have 3 inch deep heavy gauge horizontal blades of 2 mm thick aluminium
extruded profles. They are carefully designed to get low pressure drop, maximum free area and to
prevent rain water penetration by diverting water along blade troughs. They are available in 1.6
fanged curved frame of heavy gauge aluminium profle which in turn is mechanically joined to
give the heighest rigidity and strength. Louvers can be supplied as optional with galvanized bird
or aluminium insect screen, volume control damper and aluminium air flter of 1, 2 or 4 thickness.
The filters are accessable from the side or backward of the louver depending upon type of
installation and must be specifed by the customer. These louvers are available in standard given
