Industrial butterfly dampers are critical components used in ventilation, heating, air conditioning, and exhaust systems to regulate airflow, control pressure, and manage temperature in various industrial processes and applications. These dampers feature a unique disc-shaped design that allows for precise adjustment of airflow rates while minimizing pressure drop and energy consumption.
Industrial butterfly dampers consist of a circular disc or vane mounted on a shaft within a duct or pipeline. The disc can rotate to different angles, allowing for variable restriction of airflow through the system.
Butterfly dampers are typically constructed from durable materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or composite materials, chosen for their strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for different operating conditions.
Butterfly dampers may feature sealing mechanisms such as elastomeric seals or metal-to-metal contact between the disc and the damper housing, ensuring tight shut-off when the damper is fully closed to prevent leakage.
Industrial butterfly dampers can be manually operated using handwheels or levers, or automated with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote control and precise modulation of airflow based on system requirements or feedback from sensors.
Butterfly dampers can be customized to meet specific airflow requirements, operating conditions, and space constraints, making them suitable for a wide range of applications and industries.
