Formula
• Total Louver Dimension (Excluding Frame) (A) = 3.9 feet x 6.2 feet = 24.2 ft.
2
• Area Blocked by Outdoor Unit (Discharge) (B) = 2.6 feet x 2.8 feet = 7.41 ft.
2
• Inlet Louver Dimension (A - B) = 16.8 ft.
2
• Equivalent Inlet Dimension (Open Rate 80%) = 16.8 ft.

Confirming Air Flow Rate / Total Opening Rate
• Example: LSU180HSV5.
• Discharge Airflow Rate: 2,119 ft.
3
/min.
• Velocity of Outlet Air: 16.4 ft./s
• Velocity of Inlet Air: 8.2 ft./s
• Open Rate = 80% or More
• Inlet airflow must match or exceed discharge airflow.
• Separate inlet airflow from discharge airflow to
prevent recirculation.

Total Area (A) = H * W
Number of Open Spaces (N) = (Number of Louvers - 1)
Effective Area (Af) = ho * W * N
