Lüftungsklappen

Lüftungsklappen, also known as ventilation dampers, are mechanical devices used to control or block the flow of air in a ventilation system. They are typically installed within ductwork and can be operated manually or automatically. Their primary function is to regulate airflow for various purposes, including ventilation, heating, and air conditioning.

Manual Lüftungsklappen are operated by a lever or handle, allowing users to adjust the opening to their desired position. Automatic Lüftungsklappen, on the other hand, are often controlled by a thermostat, pressure sensor, or building automation system. These automated systems can adjust the damper position in response to changes in temperature, air pressure, or other environmental conditions.

Different types of Lüftungsklappen exist, each designed for specific applications. Single-blade dampers, also known as butterfly dampers, consist of a single pivoting blade. Multi-blade dampers, or opposed-blade dampers, feature multiple parallel blades that open and close in unison, providing more precise control over airflow. Fire dampers and smoke dampers are specialized types designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation systems by automatically closing in the event of a fire alarm.

The materials used for Lüftungsklappen vary depending on their intended use and the environment in which they are installed. Common materials include galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and plastics. Their size and shape are also tailored to the specific dimensions of the ductwork and the required airflow capacity. Lüftungsklappen play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality, optimizing energy efficiency, and ensuring the safety of building occupants.
