The Air System With A Mind Of Its Own
Until now, most ventilation systems had
one drawback. Air inlets had to be opened
and closed by hand.
This was time consuming and pretty

MET
POWER PACK
AIR INLETS
Four basic components go into the
makeup of this ventilation system...
the fan,- the inlet, the air inlet power
pack, and the controls. Coordinated,
these four basic components can
provide you with better conversion and
performance by removing stresses due
to lack of oxygen, excess humidity, nox
