A system for adjusting the flow orientation of an air flow exhausted at a flow exit location defined along an exterior of an agricultural harvester. The harvester includes an engine upstream of the flow exit location. The system includes a harvester body extending around at least a portion of the exterior of the harvester and defining an opening at the flow exit location; a louvered panel positioned within the opening, the louvered panel including a plurality of louvers each pivotable about a respective pivot axis; and an actuator coupled to the louvers and configured to actuate the louvers such that each louver pivots to adjust a tilt angle of the louver. The air flow is directed through the louvered panel after flowing past the engine and is exhausted from the harvester at a flow angle corresponding to the tilt angle of each of the plurality of louvers.
