Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...
Glossary of HVAC terms. HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is a major sub discipline of mechanical engineering. The goal of HVAC design is to balance indoor environmental comfort with other factors such as installation cost, ease of maintenance, and energy efficiency. The discipline of HVAC includes a large number of specialized ...
A register's damper provides a critical function. Primarily, the damper allows the amount of hot or cool air entering a room to be controlled, providing for more accurate control over room temperature. [7] Dampers also allow air to be shut off in unused rooms, improving the efficiency of the HVAC system. Dampers can also help adjust a HVAC ...
Vibration isolation is the prevention of transmission of vibration from one component of a system to others parts of the same system, as in buildings or mechanical systems. [1] Vibration is undesirable in many domains, primarily engineered systems and habitable spaces, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to such ...
A source tells Us Weekly that “They are in production of The Flip Off without Josh. They’re moving forward with the show without him.”. Okay then! Meanwhile, the source also notes that ...
HVAC control system. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [ 1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be ...
The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. ( AMCA) is an American trade body that sets standards for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning ( HVAC) equipment. It rates fan balance and vibration, aerodynamic performance, air density, speed and efficiency. AMCA was formed in 1955 from several earlier trade associations which ...
Fire damper. Interior of German mechanical fire damper inside of a galvanised steel duct. Fire dampers (or fire shutters) are passive fire protection products used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts to prevent and isolate the spread of fire inside the ductwork through fire-resistance rated walls and floors.
