AIR DAMPER [35 records]

Record 1 2019-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

The mixing damper controls flow from the left inlet branch as a percentage of the mixed-air flow, subject to a preset minimum. The minimum can be scheduled or modulated by a time-switch profile in the damper component dialog. A controller then modulates flow from the left branch vs. bottom branch as a percentage of the outlet flow rate or in an attempt to achieve a target mixed-air temperature. Typical applications include outside air economizers, demand-controlled ventilation, and bypass dampers for heat-recovery, indirect evaporative cooling, heat pipes, coils with high static pressure, or similar components within an air handler.

The high pressure atomizing type gun... burner supplies oil to the atomizing nozzle at 689 to 2067 kPa. A blower is used to supply the air for combustion, and a damper or other adjustable means regulates the air supply at the burner. Ignition is usually established by a high voltage electric spark which may be intermittent, sometimes called constant ignition(on when the burner motor is on) or interrupted(on only to start combustion). Typically these burners fire into a combustion chamber in which negative draft is maintained.

The patented "Air-Flow-Line" dampers guide a smooth flow of air through the section to reduce air static losses.

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house.

With conventional gas furnaces, little can be done to prevent losses of heated house air up the chimney when the furnace is firing. What can be prevented, though, is the loss that occurs when the furnace is not firing. A positive vent damper consists of a tight-fitting hinged damper door mounted in a steel collar and fitted into the flue pipe just before the pipe enters the chimney base. A fail-safe interlock switch prevents the furnace from firing unless the damper is completely open. This device may also be used with propane furnace.
