Model CAR-FD

Constant Airflow Regulator
Fire Damper

Model CAR-FD constant airflow regulator with a UL rated fire damper is designed to save a significant amount of money and energy by precisely controlling airflow to balance HVAC systems without the need for electrical or pneumatic controls and sensors. A self-regulating aero-wing and spring piston design automatically adjust for variable duct pressures caused by building duct design, thermal stack effect, dust build up in air filters, and other varying building conditions. The CAR-FD fire damper employs curtain style blades for point-of-origin control of fire in static or dynamic HVAC systems.
