VCS3: Opposed Blade Damper

The VCS3: Opposed Blade Damper is a key component for precise airflow control in HVAC systems. This damper is integrated directly into the grille, allowing for on-the-spot air volume adjustments. Its unique opposed blade design ensures smooth and efficient operation. As the blades move simultaneously in opposite directions, they provide superior airflow metering and control while minimizing disruptions to the overall air pattern. This results in consistent and comfortable environments.

One of the standout features of the VCS3: Opposed Blade Damper is its focus on sound performance. For optimal acoustics, especially in applications requiring significant volume control, Price Industries recommends pairing this damper with an upstream duct branch damper. This combination allows for coarse volume adjustments at the duct, while the VCS3 fine-tunes the airflow at the diffuser, effectively minimizing potential noise issues. The VCS3 is available in a range of materials to suit diverse project needs including steel (VCS3), aluminum (VCS3AL), and stainless steel (VCS3SS).

VCS3: Opposed Blade Dampers are commonly found in commercial and industrial HVAC projects. Their ability to provide precise airflow adjustment makes them ideal for spaces where maintaining specific environmental conditions is critical. This can include offices, hospitals, schools, and other sensitive environments. The VCS3 series falls under Masterformat Division 23 37 13, encompassing diffusers, registers, and grilles, highlighting its role as an integral part of a complete HVAC system.
