The LU Series air intake louver – at the forefront of progress.
GAL has developed the LUE / LUE-F and LUD Series, a completely innovative roller shutter type that sets standards for the future. Suitable for both architectural and industrial applications. The new design of the aerodynamically optimized airfoils was developed on the basis of an aircraft wing profile and tested at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Göttingen. It ensures maximum air intake capacity and optimum rain tightness. With a rain-proof position of 45°, the discharge coefficient Cv0 of 0.43 shows through. This new roller shutter model with storm-resistant blades is effective even when installed in extremely exposed locations where high wind speeds can occur. The louvers can be individually adapted to match the architecture or color of the building facade.
Design
LUE-F Series - The fixed-wing version is suitable for large-scale air supply systems due to its highly favorable aerodynamic characteristics and excellent rainproofing.
Series LUE-R, the operable version, can optionally be equipped with lip seals integrated into the airfoil and side frame block seals (special aluminum profile with brush seals) to minimize leakage losses.
LUD-R Series - the double-walled, operable version has wings made of hollow extruded aluminum. This increases torsional stiffness and static load capacity and enables large span widths to be achieved.
The double-walled, operable version, the LUD-A series, has a sound-absorbing liner.
