Buy Barber Coleman Dampers
A damper is simply a valve or a plate that is used for stopping or regulating the airflow in ducts, chimneys, variable air volume (VAV) boxes, and air handlers. For example, in the case of a home or office with an unused room, you can cut off the air conditioning to that room, isolating the room which in turn saves energy. Dampers also allow you to regulate the temperature room-by-room. Two types of dampers currently available on the market are manual and automatic. For usage of the manual dampers, there is a handle on the outside of the duct which can be turned according to the requirement. Automatic dampers are used to regulate air flow constantly and are controlled through electric or pneumatic motors, in turn controlled by a thermostat or building automation system.
There are many different types of industrial dampers. Examples include industrial control dampers, backdraft dampers, and counterbalanced backdraft dampers. Industrial control dampers are flange-mounted devices that are equipped with linkages out of the air stream. They vary in terms of size and shape and are rated for either medium-duty or heavy-duty applications.
Backdraft dampers have a galvanized steel frame and extruded aluminum airfoil blades. These vanes provide improved strength with reduced noise and static pressure. Counterbalanced backdraft dampers are usually made of galvanized steel. They are designed to meet application requirements based on temperature, pressure, or velocity.
Industrial dampers include bubble tight dampers, round isolation dampers, and round discharge dampers. Bubble tight dampers are used in applications that require shut-off capabilities under extreme conditions. They may be qualified for use in nuclear power plants and tested according to ASTM and ASME standards. Round isolation dampers are made of carbon steel and have a butterfly blade. They provide extremely low leakage in both HVAC and process systems. Round discharge dampers are also made of galvanized steel, but are designed for use on the discharge side of an axial flow fan. These dampers prevent fan shutdown and can withstand pressures and velocities in multi-fan applications.
Barber Coleman Dampers are extremely popular in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.

Zone Dampers
A zone damper is used for improving the comfort of the occupant in a room. Since HVAC systems are divided into multiple zones, a zone damper helps in controlling the airflow. These types of dampers that are used in Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems of homes are usually electrically powered. On the other hand, the same dampers used for commercial installations utilize vacuum or compressed air instead. Zone dampers are cost-effective, as well as economical. In using these dampers, they ensure reduced power consumption, which adds up to tremendous savings. Power saving is a crucial concern and a top priority in homes as well as in commercial settings, and with these dampers, those savings becomes a reality.
Fire Dampers
Fire dampers are fitted where ductwork passes through fire compartment walls / fire curtains as part of a fire control strategy. In normal circumstances, these dampers are held open by means of fusible links. When subjected to heat, these links fracture and allow the damper to close under the influence of the integral closing spring. The links are attached to the damper such that they can be released manually for testing purposes. The damper is provided with an access door in the adjacent ductworks for the purpose of inspection and resetting in the event of closure.
Electric dampers
Apply power to these electric duct dampers and the normally open dampers will close shutting off all airflow. Apply power to normally closed dampers and they will open allowing air to pass. Remove power and a spring returns the dampers to their original position. These new dampers have a specially designed seal that ensures no air leakage when closed to prevent energy loss and wind noise. Available in 4 different duct sizes, these dampers are great for getting the most out of your ventilation system. Power supply included.
Rotary dampers
Rotary dampers are gear-like devices designed to limit the movement of a moving piece of equipment. They absorb and slow down rotary motion for the amendment of vibration, noise, and machine component wear. They also enable products to perform with a smooth mechanical motion. Rotary shock absorbers control vertical and lateral motion in rail suspension applications. A rotary shock absorber is built to outlast and outperform linear type shock absorbers. A rotary speed damper is designed to slow down the rotary motion within the machine. A rotary motion damper is used to provide a smooth, controlled retraction of a movable mechanical device. Damped stop gates provide vibration-free damping to the end position which is a prerequisite for precision machining. Damped stop gate benefits are increased manufacturing quality and reduced reject rates.
