Greenheck Fan BR-30 Series Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
Application and Design
The BR-30 series is an eccentrically pivoted backdraft damper for low velocity systems. BR-30 series is a vertical mounted
damper and designed to allow horizontal airflow and prevent reverse airflow. To increase sensitivity and reduce blade mounted
counterbalance, the blade skin is formed aluminum. On-blade counterweights are provided to fine tune start-to-open and full
open blade operation. Ball bearings minimize friction.
Recommended Applications:
Gravity hood intake and exhaust
• Stairwell pressurization
• Room pressurization
• Ductwork outlets
Poor Applications:
• Propeller fan outlets (high velocity)
• Centrifugal fan outlets (high velocity)
• Building pressurization (sensitive to wind)
• Pressure relief exceeding 0.13 in. wg (32 Pa)
