BioAir Damper Valves

Control, Isolation, and Backdraft Damper Valves constructed from FRP in accordance with AMCA Standards

Damper valves are an essential accessory for most air treatment applications, critical for balancing airflows, preventing air from going in the wrong direction, and isolating equipment for maintenance or operation. BioAir is pleased to offer premium quality damper valves so that our customers have a single-source supplier for their air treatment equipment.

BioAir Solutions takes Quality Assurance and Control seriously. All our FRP Dampers are manufactured to strict Quality Control Standards in conformance with BioAir’s ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Certification. The damper valves’ FRP fabrication meets ASTM D3982 and ASME RTP-1 standards, and all isolation dampers meet the AMCA leakage test requirements.

Damper Valve Types

Control Damper Valve (CDV-Series)
Control dampers are used for airflow balancing when full isolation or airflow stoppage is not required. They are often used to balance airflow from multiple ventilated sources.

Isolation Damper Valve (IDV-Series)
Isolation Dampers are used when there is a need to isolate a ventilated source or airflow from an adjoining portion of the system with “zero” leakage requirement. Isolation is achieved through increased fabrication tolerance between the damper blade and body, and the blade is equipped with a special corrosion-resistant EPDM seal to meet AMCA leakage test requirements.

Backdraft Damper Valve (BDV-Series)
Often referred to as Non-return Valves, backdraft dampers are used to prevent air from flowing in the wrong direction in the duct and are mostly used around the fans that are mounted in a duty/standby configuration.
