Chain & Sprocket Damper is a type of air damper designed in the form of a vertical or horizontal sliding blade, used to completely open/close the air flow in industrial air ducts. This device is commonly used to isolate gas, smoke, hot steam or dust-containing air flows in systems such as boilers, power plants, dust filtration systems, exhaust gas treatment, cement industry, petrochemical and metallurgy.
Structure and operating principle:
Valve body (frame): Made of carbon steel or stainless steel, heat and pressure resistant.
Blade: A thick steel plate that slides up/down (or left/right) to open or close the air flow.
Seal: Optional heat-resistant soft seal or metal-to-metal seal.
Drive mechanism: Hand crank, electric motor, pneumatic or hydraulic depending on requirements.
Optional isolation box (bonnet): Prevents dust leakage and increases tightness.
