ARK ARK 1

Non return dampers are designed for automatic shut off of
individual sections of an air conditioning system. With the
fan running, the degree of blade opening is a function of the
air velocity. If the fan is turned off, the blades close
automatically. In a multi fan installation this prevents back
draught through the non-operating fans.
Type ARK (with linked blades) is for use in systems with
variable air volume.
Type ARK 1 (with adjustable stops to limit the blade opening
angle) is for use in systems with constant air volume.
Both types of damper can be installed horizontally and
vertically.

Type ARK • ARK-G • ARK 1 • ARK 1 -G

ARK ARK 1
- Casing formed galvanised sheet steel As for type ARK, but:
- Aluminium blades — without coupling sections
- Aluminium coupling sections (with dampers having two or — with stops to limit blade opening angle, which are
more blades) adjustable from the outside
- Blade shafts stainless steel
- Bearings laminated material with a bearing surface of ARK 1-G
PTFE/Pb (maintenance-free) As for type ARK 1 both flanges drilled.
- Neoprene seals, temperature resistant up to 80°C
- Maximum back pressure 5000 Pa

ARK-G
As for type ARK, but both flanges drilled.
