The new CD450 and CD450V control dampers from Ruskin are extruded aluminum models that use a 4-inch wide frame design with finger-style jamb seals, for a ‘light-tight’ sealing effect.

The CD450 and CD450V control dampers, which have horizontal and vertical blade orientations, respectively, are ideal for any HVAC application that requires high, energy-efficient performance. Both models were designed to control and regulate air movement in medium-to-high velocity and pressure HVAC systems.

CD450 and CD450V control dampers

The CD450 and CD450V control dampers include airfoil blades with mechanically-fastened blade seals

The CD450 and CD450V control dampers include airfoil blades with mechanically-fastened blade seals that offer low pressure drop and less noise, when open and achieve Class 1A leakage (3cfm/ft2 at 1” w.g.) performance, when closed. Acetyl copolymer blade end caps enhance sealing against finger-style jamb seals.

Mike Coyazo, Product Manager, Air Control Solutions, at Ruskin, said “These new, high performance control dampers will help building owners, facility managers, contractors and engineers improve energy savings in commercial buildings, including data centers, hospitals and office buildings.

Enhanced energy efficiency

Mike Coyazo adds, “Energy efficiency is one of the greatest concerns in commercial buildings right now and the CD450 and CD450V minimize energy loss.”  

Additional features add ease during installation and maintenance and also extend the life of the damper. A telescoping shaft provides up to an eight-inch extension for offset actuator mounting, while a coupler option allows two damper sections to be joined and operated by a single actuator on the outside of the frame.

Featuring positive lock axles and non-corrosive bearings

This space-saving option provides a narrower profile in tight areas. The durable designs include positive lock axles and non-corrosive bearings, as well as a shake-proof linkage that minimizes service needs.

Ruskin offers the CD450 and CD450V control dampers with a 5-year product warranty.
