  • RELATED PRODUCTS

Non-return dampers open and close automatically. When the system is in operation, the blades open when air flows. The blade opening angle depends on the differential pressure and the volume flow rate; for variant ARK-1 the opening angle is limited by adjustable blade restrictors. When the system is shut down, the blades close due to their weight. They safely prevent air from flowing against the intended airflow direction.
