Natural Ventilation Dampers are used to control airflow from one space to the other. Often referred to as ventilators. Used for moving air from one space to another; normally outside to in. Normally will need a weather resistance when closed. Material can be aluminium or steel. Requirement is physical performance No real market leader
Façade Dampers Similar to natural ventilation dampers but they provide both a weather and thermal resistance. Primarily used in natural ventilation schemes Damper solutions have been twin insulated metal with a U value, air leakage and weathering. – Typical U values of 2 w/m 2 K – Air tightness of between 5 and 10 m 3/hr/m 2 at 50 Pa – Louvre water tightness class A as per HEVAC at 0 m/s velocity Often the casing is non thermally broken metal HVC solution is a pure u. PVC assembly to replace the insulated metal blade. – Typical U values of around 1 but it needs verifying – Airtightness of around 10. However usually quoted per m of blade and is <1 – Louvre water tightness to suit louvre used
