Air Outlet Shrapnel

Solution

Air Outlet Shrapnel is an elastic metal sheet used for air outlets of air conditioners. It is made of high-strength stainless steel or carbon steel and has excellent elasticity and durability. Its main function is to fix and adjust the angle of the air outlet to ensure that the airflow direction is controllable. Air Outlet Shrapnel is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, suitable for long-term use in various environments. It is widely used in automotive air conditioning and household air conditioning systems, effectively improving the stability and service life of the air outlet.

Features

• High-Performance Material: Constructed from 304 stainless steel or galvanized steel, the shrapnel exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance, with a salt spray test endurance of 500+ hours (ASTM B117 standard).

• Precision Airflow Control: Engineered with adjustable louvers (5°–45° tilt range) and a 0.5–1.2 m/s airflow velocity range, ensuring optimal distribution with minimal turbulence (≤3 dB noise level at 2 m distance).

• Structural Integrity: The shrapnel’s 0.8–1.2 mm thickness and reinforced edges provide a load-bearing capacity of ≥50 kg/m², complying with EN 13182:2002 pressure stability standards.

• Thermal Efficiency: Features a U-factor of 0.25–0.35 W/m²K, reducing heat transfer by 15–20% compared to standard outlets, as per ASHRAE 90.1 guidelines.

• Modular Design: Compatible with duct sizes of 100–600 mm (round/rectangular), offering a ±2 mm dimensional tolerance for seamless integration into existing systems.

• Low Maintenance: The anti-dust coating (tested per ISO 9227) ensures a 10+ year lifespan under continuous operation at temperatures up to 120°C.

Applications

1. HVAC Systems: Air outlet shrapnels are critical components in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units. They regulate airflow direction and velocity in commercial buildings, ensuring optimal air distribution while preventing debris entry. Their durable construction withstands constant air pressure variations.

2. Automotive Ventilation: Modern vehicles incorporate these shrapnels in dashboard vents and rear-seat climate systems. They enable precise airflow control for passenger comfort while meeting automotive vibration resistance standards. The materials prevent rattling noises during vehicle operation.

3. Aerospace Engineering: Aircraft cabin pressure systems use specialized shrapnels that maintain airflow under extreme altitude conditions. These aerospace-grade components feature lightweight alloys that endure pressure differentials while meeting strict flammability regulations.

4. Industrial Machinery: Manufacturing equipment utilizes heavy-duty shrapnels for equipment cooling and fume extraction. Their robust design handles high-temperature exhaust gases and particulate-laden airflows in foundries, welding stations, and chemical processing plants.

5. Medical Equipment: Hospital ventilation systems and medical device housings incorporate antimicrobial shrapnels. These maintain sterile airflow patterns in operating theaters and isolation rooms while resisting bacterial growth through silver-ion coatings or copper alloys.
