Function

Pressure-relief dampers open and close automatically. The blades are kept closed by magnets. If the differential pressure exceeds the set maximum value, the magnetic force is overcome, and the blades open. The airflow by which the excess pressure has been caused can now flow through the damper. The pressure peak is immediately and reliably controlled. The blade opening angle depends on the differential pressure and the volume flow rate. When the differential pressure drops below approx. 30 Pa, the blades close again.
