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. 1, record 1, English, - mixing%20damper

Inlet air is proportioned through the heating and bypass channels by V shaped "Air-Flow-Line" dampers, positioned by a damper motor. The patented "Air-Flow-Line" dampers guide a smooth flow of air through the section to reduce air static losses. These dampers maintain a constant pressure drop and, therefore, a constant air volume through the heating coil is maintained regardless of damper position.(from an advertising leaflet of WING who manufactured the IFB [Integral face-and-bypass] heating coil). 2, record 3, English, - face%2Dand%2Dbypass%20damper

Il s'agit d'un appareil qui décide de la quantité d'air qui doit passer par une prise d'air pour climatisateur d'immeuble en fonction de la température de l'air à l'extérieur. Si l'air doit être chauffé, il entre directement vers l'unité de chauffage; s'il est déjà chaud, des conduites de dérive lui font éviter l'unité de chauffage. 1, record 3, French, - registre%20de%20conduites%20directes%20et%20de%20d%C3%A9rivation
