In this Condenser article, we dive into the MCDLG catalog to examine the AFD-20 series, our most popular control dampers. Keep your system efficient with a control damper built for air performance.
Air needs to move through an HVAC system: from the intake at the start, across ducts and junctions, to the rooms that need it. An efficient system provides the necessary airflow while drawing the least amount of power. Efficient designs save money and energy over time, especially in HVAC. Efficient HVAC systems contribute towards the Green Building Initiative and can even earn LEEDS credits for your project. Start your designs with control dampers built for air performance.
Control dampers direct airflow through the system. These dampers rotate their blades to open or close off the opening. An efficient control damper allows air through its open blades with little resistance. Dampers should also tightly close when the flow stops, so that air does not leak through. These two aspects ensure air flows efficiently to where it is needed.
Don’t settle on dampers that drag your system down. Consider a control damper built for air performance. MCDLG offers the AFD-20 series control damper, a versatile damper equipped with airfoil blades. Their aerodynamic profile allows air to pass over the blade with minimal resistance. Silicone rubber blade seals ensure a tight closure with minimal leakage. Don’t settle on excessive pressure drop or leakage. Maximize air performance and system efficiency with MCDLG.
