Dampers are mechanical devices used in HVAC systems, engines, and industrial applications to regulate airflow, gas flow, or vibration. They help control temperature, pressure, and noise by adjusting the flow of air or gases in ducts, vents, or machinery.

They are used in a wide range of operations, including:

• Dampers regulate airflow in ventilation systems and control combustion gases in engines or furnaces.
• Common types include volume control dampers, fire dampers, backdraft dampers, and vibration dampers.
• They can be manual or motorized (automatic), often linked to thermostats or control systems.
• Essential for energy efficiency, fire safety, and system performance in buildings and industrial processes.
