Functional description

For balancing the volume flow rates of duct sections and air terminal devices the differential pressure must be set on the flow adjustment dampers. The value to be set for a certain required volume flow rate at a given differential pressure can be taken from the diagram that each flow adjustment damper carries. This value can then be set using the rotary knob with the position indicator (stepless adjustment between 0 and 10).
