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 and climate control - for example, in the case of Volume Control Dampers. [1] Its operation can be manual or automatic. Manual dampers are turned by a handle on the outside of a duct.
The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage -like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine. It is used to dampen the transient oscillations and facilitate the start-up operation.
A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating or cooking appliance capable of burning wood fuel, often called solid fuel, and wood-derived biomass fuel, such as sawdust bricks. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, often lined by fire brick, and one or more ...
A dashpot, also known as a damper[citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring. The process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) symbol for a dashpot is .
A floor register. A register is a grille with moving parts, capable of being opened and closed and the air flow directed, which is part of a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The placement and size of registers is critical to HVAC efficiency. Register dampers are also important, and can serve a safety function.
The oil burner nozzle is usually mounted in the front of the firebox, protected by a hood of firebrick, and aimed at the firebrick wall below the firebox door. Dampers control air flow to the oil fire.
Fan (machine) A typical electric fan. A table fan. Fans are used to force air into low- and high-bypass jet engines, seen here on a Boeing 777. A fan is a powered machine used to create a flow of air. A fan consists of a rotating arrangement of vanes or blades, generally made of wood, plastic, or metal, which act on the air.
