General Information

Application

  • Square VAV terminal units for use in ventilation and air conditioning systems (AHUs)
  • For almost all tasks when controlling, restricting, or shutting off supply and extract air flows
  • Also for unfavourable upstream conditions at low air velocities
  • Closed-loop volume flow control using an external power supply
  • For variable or constant volume flow systems
  • Shut-off by override control (by the client)

 

Special characteristics

  • High differential pressure signal with small angle of attack
  • Factory set-up or programming and aerodynamic function testing
  • Volume flow rate can be measured and subsequently adjusted. Additional adjustment tool may be required (depending on the variant of the control component)
  • Tubeless differential pressure measurement via damper blade
  • Differential pressure transmission through differential pressure duct in axis
  • Any airflow direction if dynamic transducer is used
  • Any installation orientation also with static transducer
  • Suitable for air velocities from 157 – 1575 fpm
  • Compact dimensions for use in confined ceiling areas

Function

Functional description

The damper blade works as a control element and as a differential pressure sensor. Through the differential pressure duct in the shaft, the detected differential pressure reaches the transducer (static or dynamic), and is converted into an electrical signal and compared with the setpoint value. In case of a control deviation, the integrated actuator changes the position of the damper blade. Thereby, the volume flow rate is kept constant in close tolerances over the entire differential pressure range.
