About Back Draught Volume Control Dampers

Specialist damper, designed to permit air to flow in one direction.

Back draught shutters, also known as non-return dampers are designed to permit air to flow in only one direction, making them useful for applications where a duct is only used at intervals and needs to be shut down when not in use to prevent heat loss or backflow.

Series BDS units have all major components manufactured from aluminium extrusions, ensuring an inherent high resistance to corrosion and minimal weight.

As standard back draught shutters are supplied with unlinked blades, however for applications with duct velocities exceeding 5 m/s we recommend the specification of linked blades; this adds a concealed linkage that connects each blade, and has the effect of smoothing the motion like the blades open and close. This linkage can also be equipped with removable weights, allowing dampers to be set up on-site to open and close at specific pressures.

For larger units or where the application involves higher air velocities, blades can be linked which has a damping effect, smoothing the blades' motion as they are opened and closed.

Features for Back Draught Volume Control Dampers include -
- Lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminium construction
- Optional weighting system allows opening pressure to be adjusted
Back draught shutters are manufactured in-house to your requirements, with HVC's industry-beating lead times.
