BL-105 Blade Inlet Louvers

BL-105 Blade Inlet Louvers have been discontinued.
PVC Mounting Brackets (left) are still available.

BL-105 Blade Inlet Louvers are rugged, durable PVC replacements for the conventional cement asbestos or fiberglass blade-type corrugated louvers used in induced draft water cooling towers to contain splash-out, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the aesthetics of the tower.

Applications
Brentwood's BL-105 Blade Inlet Louvers are used in a wide variety of new and retrofit applications, including air inlets for both package and field-erected counterflow and straight-sided crossflow towers, fresh air make-up systems, air pollution control scrubbers, and VOC strippers.

Features and Benefits • Heavy-gauge, solid extrusions using CTI Standard 136 PVC for its durability, weather-resistance, chemical-resistance, and self-extinguishing fire characteristics. Will not chip, flake, crack, or corrode under normal cooling tower conditions. • BL-105 Louvers slip into PVC Mounting Brackets (left) for an easy, secure installation. • The ultra-smooth surface is nearly impervious to algae and scale build-up and easy to keep clean. • Easy to handle and cut. None of the worker hazards or special precautions associated with asbestos cement or fiberglass products. • The PVC compounds we use are specially formulated for UV resistance. • Standard colors are white and light gray (for optimum protection against solar heat absorption and fading), but we can also produce custom-colored louvers to match nearby buildings, etc.
• This Type E louver matches the standard 4.2" corrugation for easy retrofit
