air-cooled heat exchanger
Les figures 3A et 3B montrent l’effet de la présence d’un panneau rigide 300 sur le débit d’air des ventilateurs 106 d’une structure de ventilation d’un condenseur refroidi par air, cette structure de ventilation étant par exemple composée de trente-six ventilateurs.
Sur ces figures, un débit d’air aspiré par un ventilateur est élevé lorsqu’il est fortement grisé. De même, un débit d’air aspiré par un ventilateur est faible lorsqu’il est peu grisé.

: I share Claude's concerns: 'greyed out' specifically means when something is made less visible (because it is not available, for example). This is not really what it means here, and I don't think the term is appropriate in this context.

: Although we don't know the exact way in which it is 'grisé', I can't help thinking this is a suitable solution here.

French term (edited):
fortement grisé
is shown in darker grey
I think this is probably the most natural way to express it in EN, taking the phrase as a whole.
