How does a bypass damper work?

the bypass duct builds a connection between your supply plenum and your return ductwork. The damper inside has the power to either restrict or allow air to enter the bypass based on the condition.

Which way does the arrow go on a bypass damper?

The bypass damper may be mounted in any of the 4 positions with airflow up, down, right, or left with the air flowing in the direction of the “airflow” arrow. However, when positioned horizontal (airflow left or right), it must be mounted with the shaft above center. (See Fig. 4—7.)

How does a damper actuator work?

Part of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a damper actuator controls the opening and closing of a damper. Opening the damper allows air from outside a building to enter, in order to cool the interior, or it can close to contain the inside air.

How do you tell if the damper is open or closed?

Before lighting a fire, you can tell if the damper is open by placing your hand into the fireplace. If you feel a draft coming down the chimney, it is a good indicator that the damper is open. If you don’t feel any cold air coming down the chimney, it means that the damper is closed.

How do you tell if a damper is normally open or closed?

If you’re looking to see if your damper type is “normally open” or “normally closed” then there is an easy way to tell. If you have the damper close by, then cut the power to it and observe the damper blades. If they spring shut, then you have a “normally closed” type of damper.

Should damper be open or closed?

The damper should be kept open until all embers are finished burning to prevent smoke from escaping into the home. When the fireplace is not in use, the damper should always be closed. An open damper is like an open window, allowing large amounts of heat from the home to escape.

How do I know if my damper is working?

Put the damper into an open position and check the registers once again to see if the airflow starts. If the damper is closed and you are feeling low airflow, or none at all, it is most likely a bad damper. For the automatic control damper, turn your HVAC system on. Check for airflow in the registers.

What controls a damper?

An automatic duct damper is usually controlled by a room thermostat, which opens or closes a metal baffle inside of a warm air (or cool air) heating (or cooling) duct in order to provide multiple heating zone control in a building.

What does it mean if the damper is closed?

An open damper plate will show a gap, and a closed damper has a plate that covers the duct to block air flow. A manual damper with a parallel damper lever means your damper is open, and an automatic damper will have an indicator on your damper motor to tell you if your damper is open or closed.
