Greenheck Fan EM-30 Series - Manual (Page 2)

Specifications
Backdraft dampers meeting the following specifications shall be
furnished and installed where shown on plans and/or as described
in schedules. Dampers shall consist of: heavy gauge 6063T5
extruded aluminum channel frame (0.125 in. [3.2mm] thick) with
31Ú8 in. (79mm) depth; blades from 0.070 in. (1.8mm) 6063T5
extruded aluminum; 3/4 in. (19mm) dia. metallic axles turning in
acetal bearings; damper shall be equipped with extruded vinyl
blade seals; and internal 1/8 in. (3mm) plated steel blade-to-
blade linkage. Damper manufacturer’s printed application and
performance data including pressure, velocity and temperature
limitations shall be submitted for approval showing damper
suitable for pressures to 10 in. wg (2491 Pa), velocities to 3500 fpm
(18m/s) and temperatures to 180°F (82ºC). Testing and ratings to
be in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D. Basis of design is
Greenheck model EM-30.
Pressure Drop Performance data results from testing a 36 in. x 36 in.
(914mm x 914mm) damper in accordance with AMCA Standard
500-D using Figure 5.3 and Figure 5.5. All data has been
corrected to represent standard air at 0.075 lb/ft
3
(1.201 kg/m 3 ).
