VCR8: Volume Control Damper

The VCR8: Volume Control Damper is a round butterfly style damper designed for precise airflow adjustment at the diffuser neck. This damper utilizes a unique mechanism where the volume control blades move simultaneously in opposite directions. This design ensures superior metering and control of airflow while minimizing any disturbance to the overall air pattern. For projects focused on optimal sound performance, it is recommended to pair the VCR8 with an upstream duct branch damper for larger volume control adjustments, and use the VCR8 at the diffuser for fine-tuning.

The VCR8: Volume Control Damper boasts a range of features that contribute to its versatility and effectiveness. Available in a variety of sizes from 4 inches to 16 inches, it can accommodate a wide range of ductwork dimensions. The VCR8 series offers multiple options for operation, including slotted lever and cable control, allowing for easy integration with different HVAC control systems. Material options include durable steel and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, catering to diverse environmental needs. Furthermore, the VCR8 can be conveniently mounted directly onto the ductwork or the diffuser itself, providing flexibility during installation.

Commonly used in HVAC projects within the construction industry, the VCR8: Volume Control Damper is ideal for applications requiring precise airflow management at the diffuser level. This makes it particularly suitable for commercial buildings, offices, schools, and other spaces where maintaining consistent and comfortable air distribution is paramount. The VCR8's ability to provide fine-tuning adjustments makes it well-suited for optimizing both airflow and sound performance in sensitive environments.
