The freezer control knob only controls the amount of air that flows into the refrigerator via a damper system. Changing the refrigerator temperature will inadvertently change the freezer temperature in the opposite direction. [citation needed] Changing the freezer temperature will have no effect on the refrigerator temperature. The freezer ...
This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...
A defrost timer taken out of a household refrigerator. The defrost mechanism in a refrigerator heats the cooling element (evaporator coil) for a short period of time and melts the frost that has formed on it. [1] The resulting water drains through a duct at the back of the unit. Defrosting is controlled by an electric or electronic timer.
A fan coil unit ( FCU ), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit ( VFC ), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling. FCUs are typically connected to ductwork and a ...
Most systems will use motorized dampers to control the air mixing, and controlled by the building management system (BMS), or controls system. Typically as the fresh air and exhaust air dampers are driven from 0% open to 100% open, the mixing damper will in turn be driven from 100% open to 0% open, so as to always ensure a constant volume of ...
Variable air volume ( VAV) is a type of heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning ( HVAC) system. Unlike constant air volume (CAV) systems, which supply a constant airflow at a variable temperature, VAV systems vary the airflow at a constant or varying temperature. [1] [2] The advantages of VAV systems over constant-volume systems include ...
These dampers may be manual or automatic. Zone dampers provide automatic control in simple systems while variable air volume (VAV) allows control in sophisticated systems. Smoke and fire dampers. Smoke dampers and fire dampers are found in ductwork where the duct passes through a firewall or firecurtain. Smoke dampers are driven by a motor ...
Damper winding. Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage -like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine.
