Dampers and Hoods

Side dampers may be provided in the mixing box and
economizer sections of units. When dampers are provided,
access to the damper drive shaft is recommended internally
through the upstream or downstream sections of the unit. If no
internal access is available, a removable panel is located above
the weather hood to provide access to the damper drive shaft.
NOTE: The hood and damper must be removed to remove
the panel. Other access may be available depending
on the specific construction of the unit

Mounting Actuators

The installing contractor is responsible for the mounting of
all field-installed actuators. No provisions are made for the
location of these actuators due to the number of options and

arrangements available and the variety of specific applications.
Typically, actuators are mounted inside the cabinet. Provide
proper support for the actuator to avoid excessive stress in the
cabinet, linkage, or damper shafts.

Fresh air and return air dampers can be linked together and
driven from the same actuator if the dampers are the same
size. If the dampers are different sizes, they must be driven
by separate actuators and controlled appropriately. Exhaust
dampers are always driven by a separate actuator.

the panel. (Figure 36) There are two options for
gaining access to the return air damper drive shaft:
1. If the unit has a housed return fan or plenum exhaust
fan, an access section should be located immediately
downstream of the economizer section for access to the
return air damper drive shaft.
2. If the unit has a plenum return fan or housed exhaust
fan, access to the return air damper drive shaft can
be obtained via the fan section's access door and the
removable filler panel located above the return air damper.
