    Abstract: A flow control system in an inlet duct to a heat exchanger includes a door having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end rotates about an axis and the second end moves between an open position and a closed position to respectively allow and prevent flow into the heat exchanger. The second end has a rounded configuration. A plurality of mixing elements are downstream of the door. At least one mixing element has a base portion and a distal portion, and the base portion has a base width and the distal portion has a distal width. The base width is wider that the distal width.
