Pressure-relief dampers open and close automatically. The blades are kept closed by magnets. If the differential pressure exceeds the set maximum value, the magnetic force is overcome, and the blades open. The airflow by which the excess pressure has been caused can now flow through the damper. The pressure peak is immediately and reliably controlled. The blade opening angle depends on the differential pressure and the volume flow rate. When the differential pressure drops below approx. 30 Pa, the blades close again.

Installation and commissioning
  • Installation orientation: Horizontal airflow
  • Only for installation in internal spaces
  • Type ARK2 pressure relief dampers are not suitable for air conditioning systems (to protect ducts, for example) because vibration, turbulence and deviations would adversely affect the opening pressure set for the damper.
  • To avoid malfunctions, any disturbing effects should be kept to a minimum, and there should be a sufficient difference between the accepted maximum differential pressure and the 'normal' system pressure.
Note
Deviations:
  • The actual system conditions cannot be considered at the time of the factory setting which is why pressure deviations might occur on site.
  • Temperature fluctuations (within the accepted temperature range) have influences on the holding torque of the retaining element, which can lead to deviations from the set opening pressure
