This shutter can be motorized to be used as outside air intake or free-air exhaust when connected to a controller. Outdoor air is drawn in through this motorized shutter and hot air is exhausted through a motorized shutter fan. Can also be used as exhaust shutter with an evaporative cooler.
Standard Features
- High efficiency shutter with tie bar to eliminate shutter flapping
- Shutter only
- Nylons bearings; solid shafts; drawn cup-type sleeves on all movable linkage

How do I size my fan and shutters system?
1. The first thing that you need to determine is the amount of air required. This is stated in CFM (Cubic Feet of Air per Minute).
2. Use the following formula to determine the CFM required for your greenhouse:
CFM = Length x Width x Height
Example: Greenhouse 12′ wide x 24′ long x 12′ high requires 3456 CFM (12 x 24 x 12 = 3456).
3. Reference the above table. Select the appropriate combination of fan(s) to achieve the necessary CFM rating. Be sure to match the total CFM output for your exhaust fan(s) to the CFM ratings for your Inlet Shutters.
