LOUVERED FIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027143 titled 'LOUVERED FIN
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a louvered fin design with a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a surface in between. The surface has three sets of holes along different axes, with each axis running parallel to the fin's longitudinal axis. The second set of holes is offset from the first set, and the third set is offset from the second set. The distance between the second and first set of holes is greater than the distance between the third and second set of holes. The second and third set of holes form a substantially obtuse trapezoidal matrix.
- The louvered fin design includes a surface with three sets of holes along different axes.

Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure provides a louvered fin including a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a surface extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. the surface defines a first set of holes along a first axis, a second set of holes along a second axis and offset from the first set of holes, and a third set of holes along a third axis and offset from the second set of holes. each of the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis extends substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the fin. a first offset distance between the second and first set of holes is greater than a second offset distance between the third and second set of holes. the second and the third set of holes define a substantially obtuse trapezoidal matrix.
