1.0 Introduction

This constant volume damper is designed for installation with

Nuaire’s range of fans. 

Units are rectangular in section, manufactured from galvanised

steel.

The CVD damper will control the flowrate passing through it when

the pressure drop across the damper is within the range stated in

the performance envelope. 

Two flow settings are available; trickle and boost. The damper will

operate in the trickle setting when it is powered up and will go into

the boost setting when a mains signal is received at the SL terminal

or when the CVD-PIR (optional ancillary) is activated. A run-on timer

(adjustable between 1 to 60 minutes) will hold the damper in the

boost setting for the preset time period.

3.0 Handling

Handle the units carefully to avoid damage and distortion to 

moving parts.

4.0 System Design

A nominal pressure drop must be allowed in order to ensure 

adequate airflow through the damper. To ensure the airflow

pattern through the damper produces consistent readings; the

pressure drop across the damper should not exceed the 

recommended value. Recommended values are listed in the table

following and show the performance envelope of each damper.

Nominal design pressure is the value needed to produce the 

maximum rated airflow for the damper. If the desired flowrate 

is less than the maximum, a lower design value may be used 

by reading off the lower curve of the appropriate chart. Please

allow 40Pa (min).

*recommended maximum operating pressure to ensure the damper

would work within calibration limits.

Keep the duct velocity as low as possible to ensure the system 

produces the lowest energy usage, preferably below 5m/s.

**Allow 90Pa for duties below 100l/s and 150Pa for duties between

100l/s and 125l/s.
