Opposed Blade Damper

Description

1. **Design**: Opposed blade dampers consist of multiple blades that are mounted on a frame, with each blade pivoting in opposite directions. This design allows for precise control over the airflow when the damper is opened or closed.

2. **Operation**: As the damper is adjusted, the blades move in opposition to each other, creating a more uniform airflow across the entire cross-section of the duct. This opposed action helps to minimize turbulence and ensures smoother airflow, contributing to better system efficiency.

3. **Material**: These dampers are usually constructed from durable materials such as aluminum or galvanized steel, providing longevity and resistance to corrosion, especially in varying environmental conditions.

4. **Applications**: Opposed blade dampers are widely used in various settings, including commercial buildings, industrial applications, and residential HVAC systems. They are particularly effective in systems where precise airflow control is essential, such as in balancing air distribution among multiple zones.

5. **Benefits**:Enhanced Control**: The opposed blade design allows for fine-tuning of airflow, making it easier to achieve desired air distribution and temperature control.

6. **Types**: Opposed blade dampers can be manually operated or motorized for automated control within building management systems. Motorized options can be integrated for remote adjustment and monitoring.

In summary, opposed blade dampers are essential components in HVAC systems, providing efficient and precise control of airflow, enhanced

These opposed blade dampers (OBD) also go by the name aluminum damper (ALD), and motorized dampers (MD)
