  Paul,   What do you think of this louver lay arrangement?  Jerry

That ought to work great.

I got it OK but here it is again.

BTW Jerry you need the sides of those flaps closed too.

I'd be very surprised if the flow through the radiator was uniform.  It
would appear that the larger flap(s) will cause a greater localized low
pressure area, which will cause a higher flow rate through their
corresponding part of the radiator.

Paul (and everyone else) do you have anything on point regarding flow
distribution of a "venetian blind" louver?

This is what I am going one. The data I got from this suggest
it might be better to scale the flaps.
