Lindabs constant-/

Functions

12

In many instances it will be necessary to maintain a constant air flow in a room, a zone etc. In normal ventilation
units, pressure variations usually for one reason or another
makes it necessary to regulate the air duct system, in
order to achieve the desired air flow in the right room.

DAU is a mechanical constant flow damper which automatically sustains a given air flow, that is manually set on
the regulation handle. DA2EU has a mounted electrical
motor, which is able to switch between two previously
chosen air volumes/flows.
DAVU has a mounted electrical motor so that a modulating regulation is possible within the full scale.

13

In a proportional ventilation system, the slightest pressure


variation will influence the air flow coming into the room.
Requirements of minimum air volume/flow in individual rooms, in order to comply with public authority
requirements or law requirements are often in place.

15
16

With Lindabs series of mechanical constant-/variable flow


dampers, the desired air volume/flow is ensured, despite
the variety of pressure in the ventilation system itself.

Disturbance tolerance
In order to achieve the stated accuracy for the pre-set
flow a straight distance of at least 3d before and at least
1,5d after the units are required. A mounting close to a
source of disturbance (bend, saddle etc.) decreases the
regulation accuracy and the flow may deverge from the
set value.

Summary
DAU - manual single flow unit
DA2EU - motorized twin flow unit
DAVU - motorized variable flow unit
Diameters 80315
Flow range 15830 l/s (542988 m/h)
Pressure range 501000 Pa (over the unit)
Independent of mounting direction
Handles 50 mm duct insulation
Function
The constant flow damper is an automatic damper, which
at varying pressures wholly mechanical and independent
of external energy sources maintains a set flow constant.
The force, needed for regulation, is taken from the passing
air stream. The air stream across the blade attempts to
close it and generates a closing torque. This is balanced
by an opposed opening force from a spring. The greater
the pressure across the blade the more it closes. A bellow
eliminates oscillations, which could occur at unfavourable
conditions of operation.
Types
The following types exists:
DAU one flow unit with knob and arrow for manual setting of one flow.
DA2EU two flows unit with electric motor for
switching between two flows.
DAVU variable flow unit with electric motor for
continuous setting of one flow.

11

Material
Housing and damper blade are of galvanized sheet metal
and shaft is of stainless steel.

Working range: +5 to +70 C.

Change of direction
The units are independent of their mounting direction and
one may deviate from the specified direction and mount
them in any direction without affecting the accuracy.
Combinations
The units can be mounted together with e.g. a motorized
shut off damper DTBU, see page side 276. Constant flow
damper combined with shut off damper can with advantage be used in groups at installations where you want:

two flows, that lies too far away from each other for
a two flow unit to handle

or

more than two flows

Presume:

Basic flow
Forced flow 1
Forced flow 2

= 80 l/s
= 100 l/s
= 150 l/s

Four flows will then be posssible:

Insulation
The units can handle 50 mm duct insulation without the
scale or the motor being hidden.
DAU is available with an 45 mm external insulation and
an outer sheet metal shell for lower sound radiation to the
surroundings. Is then called DALU.
Regulating accuracy
The units are calibrated from factory within their whole
working range. In this the units keep the flow constant
within approximately 5 to 10% of the set flow. Greater
deviations occur at the lower flows, aspecially for small
sizes.
Flow setting
The units can not be delivered from factory with a preset
flow. You can set the flow yourself very easy following to
the instruction for each product.

With insulation shell around the unit (the DALU unit) the Aweighted sound pressure level in the mittle of the room
becomes appox. 26 dB lower than the graph values on condition that also the connected ducts are attenuated (insulated) to the same extent.
