ES 08 - DAMPERS FOR AIR FLOW CONTROL

10.01 General
This specification outlines the minimum requirement for design, engineering,
selection, manufacture, test and supply of different type of air dampers required to
be installed in the Air Flow Path with all accessories for HVAC system.
Brief description of Dampers is given below under clause No. 10.02. The point wise
list of data to be furnished by the tenderer along with the offer is mentioned below
under clause No. 10.03

10.02 Description

a. Wall mounted dampers

Self acting damper (Gravity damper)

Self acting dampers are provided to maintain pressurisation inside the premises.
The damper shall be multi blade type made of Aluminium flaps of not less than 24G
thickness and MS frame. These shall be designed to operate when the positive
pressure inside the premises exceeds 2-3 mm WC. It can operate in fully open or
partial open positions.

b. Duct line dampers

Hand operated damper (Geared hand wheel)

The hand operated damper shall be multi leaf opposite acting aerofoil blade type
damper with external operating links provided at the outlet of the fan for controlling
air flow. The damper shall be made of GI sheet with MS frame unless otherwise
specified in the TS. The fully close / open / partial closing position shall be marked
on the damper casing.

Electrically operated
The electrically operated damper shall be provided as a regulating device for control
of air flow through duct as per TS requirement. Provisions shall be kept for
interlocking the damper with fire protection system. The fully closed / open / partial
closing position shall be marked on the damper casing.

Solenoid operated fire proof damper

This damper shall be provided in supply air duct. It shall be operated by solenoid
which is to be interlocked with the fire detection system of the served premises. In
case of fire in the premises the fire detection system shall activate the solenoid and
the solenoid in turn shall close the damper to stop air flow in the duct line. The fully
close / open position of the damper shall be marked on damper casing.
