Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the invention are directed towards apparatus with cambered louvers. One or more embodiments of the invention describe a louver comprising a plurality of slats arranged in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction; and each of the slats in the louver comprise a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite to the leading edge, and a chord line connecting the leading edge with the trailing edge. Further, each of the slats in the louver has a cambered profile, wherein the cambered profile includes a camber distance varying in the range of about 20%-30% from the leading edge and a camber height varying in the range of about 5%-15% of a total camber height.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A louver comprising: a plurality of slats arranged in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction; each of the slats in the louver comprise a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite to the leading edge, a chord line connecting the leading edge with the trailing edge; and each of the slats in the louver has a cambered profile, wherein the cambered profile includes a camber distance varying in the range of about 20%-30% from the leading edge and a camber height varying in the range of about 5%-15% of a total camber height. 2 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 20% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 10% of the total camber height. 3 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 20% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 5% of the total camber height. 4 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 20% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 15% of the total camber height. 5 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 25% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 10% of the total camber height. 6 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 25% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 5% of the total camber height. 7 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 25% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 15% of the total camber height. 8 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 30% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 5% of the total camber height. 9 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 30% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 10% of the total camber height. 10 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the camber distance is configured at about 30% from the leading edge and the camber height is configured at about 15% of the total camber height. 11 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein each of the slat is positioned with respect to a setting angle, wherein the setting angle depends on the camber distance and the camber height. 12 . The louver of claim 11 , wherein the setting angle varies between about 45 degrees and about 65 degrees. 13 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the louver is configured to fit on at least one side of an air-conditioner unit. 14 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein there is a predetermined spacing between each of the plurality of slats in the louver. 15 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the cambered profile is configured to improve performance of an outdoor unit. 16 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the cambered profile is configured to improve energy efficient ratio of an outdoor unit. 17 . The louver of claim 1 , wherein the cambered profile is configured to reduce differential pressure across an outdoor unit.
