Dampers are essentially vents that open and close, either partially or completely, to regulate air flow. A motorized damper is beneficial when the damper cannot be reached, or when it is working against the forces of strong airflow, or in any situation where manual access is otherwise not practical, such as in confined spaces or hard to reach spaces. Motorized damper accessories can be used to replace worn parts, or to customize or enhance motorized damper operation. Accessories can include an actuator terminal block, a crank arm kit, a zone valve and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Motorized dampers regulate or shut off the flow of air inside of the HVAC system in response to signals from a controller. They are slightly different from manual dampers, which always stay in place unless someone manually adjusts them.
Motorized dampers provide more precise control of the airflow, enhancing system efficiency and temperature uniformity throughout the building space.
Motorized Dampers serve various purposes, including demand-controlled ventilation, zone temperature control, and smoke control for safety reasons.
Selecting the appropriate Motorized Damper necessitates considering the required airflow range, duct size, pressure drop, and intended application.
