Product catalog summary
Overview
The AmerVane VI is a high velocity weather louver designed for efficient moisture removal in air filtration systems. It can be used alone or in combination with M-81 Demister coalescing pads for optimal performance at velocities up to 850 FPM.
Construction
The louver features an aerodynamic 's-hook' vane design that induces directional changes in airflow, effectively separating moisture. Vanes can be hinged for filter access or remain stationary.
Moisture Removal
Designed by AAF and patented, the AmerVane VI offers high efficiency moisture elimination with minimal pressure drop, making it cost-effective for intake filter systems. It performs well at velocities up to 1,000 FPM.
Applications
Ideal for engine and compressor applications requiring efficient moisture removal with minimal pressure loss. Suitable for offshore platforms, coastal areas, and plant sites in heavy rain or fog climates, as well as behind evaporative coolers and cooling coils.
Performance
Tested under conditions of 13.6" per hour water spray and 2.4 GPM garden hose spray, the AmerVane VI showed no moisture conveyance through the louver at 11⁄4" vane spacing, even at 914' per minute. This confirms effective water elimination and drainage.
Quality Assurance
Manufactured under ISO 9001 certified processes, ensuring world-class quality in air filtration and acoustic products.

AmerVane VI Weather Louvre-1

AmerVaneVI High Velocity Weather Louver THE AMERVANE VI CAN BE USED IN TWO CONFIGURATIONS WITH INCREASING DEGREES OF EFFICIENCY. AmerVane VI used alone provides excellent moisture removal. AmerVane VI followed by two M-81 Demister coalescing pads offers optimum performance at velocities up to 850 FPM. CONSTRUCTION The weather louver vanes are constructed using an aerodynamic “s-hook” shape. This configuration imposes several directional changes on the incoming air, causing separation of moisture from the airstream. The vanes can be hinged, for access to filters, or remain stationary. REMOVES MOISTURE The AmerVane VI high velocity weather louver, designed and patented* by AAF, is a heavy-duty, high efficiency, moisture eliminator. Ultra-low operating pressure drop makes the AmerVane VI a truly cost-effective, first-stage separator to any intake filter system. It provides excellent free moisture removal at velocities up to 1,000 FPM. APPLICATIONS The AmerVane VI is ideal for use in engine and compressor applications that require highly efficient moisture removal, with a minimum pressure loss. . Offshore platforms . Coastal areas . Plant sites located in climates of heavy rain, frequent heavy fog, mist . Behind evaporative coolers and cooling coils *U.S. Patent No. 4,557,740 WORLD CLASS QUALITY Our facilities are specifically designed to manufacture and test air filtration and acoustic products. During the entire production process, our operations are governed by our ISO 9001 certified system.

AmerVaneVI PERFORMANCE ¡ Test Conditions A 10' high by 4' wide louver section was tested up to 914' per minute using two methods: 1) Water was sprayed at the entire front of the louver at the rate of 13.6" per hour. 2) Water was sprayed through a garden hose at isolated spots on the face of the louver at the rate of 2.4 GPM. ¡ Test Results At 114" spacing between vanes, no sensible moisture was conveyed through the test louver during either test. The 13.6" per hour test was conducted for 6 hours at 914' per minute with no water passing through to the downstream plenum. These tests demonstrated...
