LOUVER GRATE FOR CTB31-6 CURVE

 A grate is an opening of several slits side-by-side in a wall, metal sheet or another barrier, usually to allow air or liquids to enter and/or leave and prevent larger objects from going in or out.  In heating, cooling, ventilation, or a combination thereof, a grille is a perforated cover for an air duct. Grilles sometimes have louvers which allow the flow of air to be directed.  In cooking, a grate refers to a generally metallic and often cast iron bridge which serves to support pots, pans and other cooking implements on a stove and providing separation and airflow from the heat source. In actual grilling, such as barbecuing, the grill refers to the grate upon which food is placed for cooking.

Louvers are a system of slits, as in the panels used in the manufacture of restaurant equipment, for the purpose of providing ventilation and heat dissipation. Louvers are used extensively in ice machines, ovens, refrigerators, freezers, hood systems and many other kinds of equipment.
