An Industrial Damper is a device used in various industries to control the flow of air, gases or liquids within a system. It regulates the amount of airflow or gas passing through duct work, vents, or pipes, helping to maintain proper system pressure, temperature, and efficiency.
Industrial Dampers can be manually or automatically operated and are crucial in managing ventilation, heating, cooling and exhaust systems in industrial settings. They help optimize performance, improve energy efficiency, and ensure safety by preventing over pressure or excessive temperature conditions.
There are 4 types of Industrial Dampers are generally used. Details as below :
This type of Damper consists of multiple blades (louvers) that are arranged in a parallel or angled configuration. These blades can be adjusted to control the airflow and are often used to regulate air in ventilation systems. It is common in HVAC systems, air handling units, and industrial ventilation systems where fine control of airflow is required.
This type of Damper features a rotating disc (butterfly) that is mounted on a shaft. The disc rotates to open or close the damper, regulating the airflow through a duct or pipe. It is widely used in HVAC systems, exhaust systems, and process control applications for quick and efficient flow regulation.
A general term for any Damper used to control the flow of air in a system. It could include various designs, such as louver, butterfly, or other specialized dampers. It is used in multiple settings, including HVAC systems, industrial processes, and ventilation systems, to regulate airflow and maintain system efficiency.
This type of Damper features a blade that moves vertically to block or open the airflow completely. It provides a tight seal when closed and is effective in applications requiring a complete shutoff. It is common in industrial processes where a full cut-off of airflow is needed, such as in waste management, flue gas systems, and isolation of sections in large ventilation systems.
Industrial Damper design involves understanding the flow characteristics, materials, and the specific needs of the system it will serve. The main procedures are :
● Understand the Application Requirements
● Determine Type of Damper
● Material Selection
● Flow Characteristics & Aerodynamics
● Actuators & Control
● Design Considerations
● Testing & Calibration
● Safety Considerations
We are manufacturers of all types of Industrial Damper up to heavy duty capacity. The step by step manufacturing procedures are described below :
Engineers develop the initial design of Damper based on the required specifications, including dimensions, materials, and operational requirements. Detailed drawings and models are created using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. This step ensures that all components will fit and function correctly together.
Based on the application, Damper materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or special alloys are selected for their durability and resistance to environmental factors.
Raw materials are cut to size using processes like laser cutting, water jet cutting, or plasma cutting. Components are then shaped using methods such as bending or stamping.
Parts are welded together to form the Damper body and other structural components. This may involve TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding or MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding.
Precision machining is used to achieve exact dimensions and tolerances. This may include drilling, milling, and turning operations.
Individual parts of Damper such as blades, frames, and actuators are assembled into the main structure of the damper. Gaskets and seals are installed to ensure the damper is airtight and prevents leakage.
The Damper is tested to ensure it operates correctly. This includes checking for proper movement, response to control signals, and integration with the intended system. The damper is tested for leaks to ensure it meets performance standards and operates efficiently.
The Damper undergoes surface treatments such as painting, powder coating, or galvanizing to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
A thorough inspection is conducted to check for any defects or inconsistencies in the finished product.
