The present disclosure is directed to a sunshade system that monitors a position of the sun and adjusts a position of a frame and/or blades based on a position of the sun. For example, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit of an HVAC system may be exposed to adverse, external weather conditions, such as sunlight, which may heat up components of the HVAC unit and decrease an efficiency of the HVAC system. Accordingly, a control system of the sunshade system may monitor the position of the sun and adjust the position of the frame and/or the blades to provide adequate shading for the HVAC unit.

Systems and methods for sunshade adjustment

A louver blade for a louver assembly includes a first section, a second section extending from the first section and including a crest of the louver blade, an extension extending from the second section to form a recess between the extension and the second section, and a protrusion extending from the second section toward the extension and configured to facilitate retention of the particles within the recess. The extension is configured guide particles into the recess in an installed configuration of the louver blade with the louver assembly.

High velocity wind-driven rain louver

Described is a louver having a frame that forms an enclosure defining an opening, and a plurality of louver blades disposed within the opening. Each of the plurality of louver blades include a catch member that longitudinally extends between a first blade end and a second blade end of a corresponding louver blade. The louver may also include a rotation assembly configured to rotatably couple with the plurality of louver blades and the frame. The plurality of louver blades may autonomously rotate about rotation members of the rotation assembly based on environmental elements captured in the catch member such that the plurality of louver blades are configured in an open position in response to no water in the catch member and are configured in a closed position in response to an amount of environmental elements in the catch member.

Wind-driven environmental element operable louver

A louver assembly includes a support, a plurality of blades, and an insert. The support extends along a length and includes a plurality of slots formed therethrough. Additionally, each louver blade of the plurality of louver blades includes a retention aperture formed therethrough, where each louver blade of the plurality of louver blades extends through a respective blade aperture of the plurality of blade apertures. Moreover, the insert extends through the retention aperture of each louver blade of the plurality of louver blades.

System for louver assembly blade reinforcement

Described is a louver having a frame that forms an enclosure defining an opening, and a plurality of louver blades disposed within the opening. The louver further includes an elongated member disposed within the frame and in contact with the plurality of louver blades. The elongated member has a body that longitudinally extends between a first member end and a second member end, wherein the first member end and the second member end are fixedly connected to opposing sections of the frame. The described louver may provide improved wind-driven rain resistance and/or impact resistance.

Wind-driven rain and impact resistant louver

A louver blade, comprising a first arcuate section, a second arcuate section serially connected to the first arcuate section and a hook extending from the intersection of the first arcuate section and the second arcuate section.
