Barometric by-pass damper

Advertisement

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The model PRD pressure regulating damper is a single blade rectangular barometric
damper with a counter balanced weighted arm. The PRD is an economical way of
bypassing excess air when zone dampers close. Damper adjustment is done by
moving the weight up and down the arm and by off-setting the arm. See Page 2 for
details.
The PRD is installed in the By-Pass ductwork to regulate the excess air pressure. The
damper can be mounted to relieve the pressure by returning the air back to the return
air duct (See Figure 1) or by dumping it into a non-critical conditioned area.
The PRD is an ideal By-Pass solution for any Constant Speed or Variable Speed
system up to 5 ton capacity.

  • Page 1 See Page 2 for details. The PRD is installed in the By-Pass ductwork to regulate the excess air pressure. The damper can be mounted to relieve the pressure by returning the air back to the return air duct (See Figure 1) or by dumping it into a non-critical conditioned area.
  • Page 2 Position PRD door to open in the direction of your airflow by forcing it over the stop. Make the PRD connection on the return so that the bypass air has a minimum 6 feet of return duct before it enters the air handler, if space permits. If not do your best.
