Abstract

A method and apparatus of a cooling system having a housing with an intake and an output vent. The output vent comprising a framework configured to couple to the housing. Directional louvers pivotably mounted in the framework. A mesh grill mounted on the framework with the mesh grill configured with the openings such that the ratio of opening area to grill material area is more than forty percent (40%). Another embodiment provides that the directional louvers include a plurality of vertical louvers and a plurality of horizontal louvers.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cooling system having a housing with an intake and an output vent, the output vent comprising: 
 a framework configured to couple to the housing;    directional louvers pivotally mounted in the framework; and    a mesh grill mounted on the framework, with the mesh grill configured with openings such that the ratio of opening area to grill material area is more than forty percent, wherein the openings include a curved surface and are configured to maximize air flow through the cooling system and minimize change in pressure of flow of air through the cooling system.    
   
   
       2 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the directional louvers include a plurality of vertical louvers and a plurality of horizontal louvers.  
   
   
       3 . The cooling system of  claim 2 , including an apparatus coupled to the directional louvers.  
   
   
       4 . The cooling system of  claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is manually operated.  
   
   
       5 . The cooling system of  claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is coupled to an electric motor.  
   
   
       6 . The cooling system of  claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is remotely controlled.  
   
   
       7 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the openings define a circle.  
   
   
       8 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the openings define an oval.  
   
   
       9 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the mesh grill and directional louvers are colored to hide the directional louvers behind the mesh grill.  
   
   
       10 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the mesh grill includes lateral members having one of a uniform width and a non-uniform width along a center line to define adjacent openings throughout the grill.  
   
   
       11 . The cooling system of  claim 1 , configured as one of a free standing unit and a structure mounted unit.  
   
   
       12 . A method of controlling air flow in a cooling system, with the cooling system having a housing with an intake vent and an output vent, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing a framework configured to mount to the housing over the output vent;    mounting a plurality of directional louvers in the frame work;    configuring a mesh grill with openings having a ratio of opening area to grill material area of more than forty percent, wherein the openings include a curved surface;    mounting the mesh grill on the framework in front of the directional louvers; and    adjusting the directional louvers to direct air flowing through the housing and out the output vent.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the directional louvers include a plurality of vertical and horizontal louvers and includes the step of adjusting one of the plurality of vertical louvers and horizontal louvers.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 15 , including the step of coupling the directional louvers to an apparatus to position the louvers from one position to another position.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , including the step of coloring the louvers and mesh grill to hide the directional louvers behind the mesh grill.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the openings define a circle.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the openings define an oval.
