2. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

   This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

3. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   Usually, a register is placed near a window or door, which is where the greatest heat/cooling loss occurs. [4] [5] In contrast, returns (grilled ducts which suck air back into the HVAC system for heating or cooling) are usually placed in the wall or ceiling nearest the center of the building. Generally, in rooms where it is critical to maintain ...

4. Air-mixing plenum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-mixing_plenum

   Air streams are mixed to save energy and improve energy efficiency by partially recirculating conditioned air.. The most common application for an air-mixing plenum is the mixing of return air (or extract air) with fresh air to provide a supply air mixture for onward distribution to the building or area which the ventilation system is serving. [1]

5. Fire damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

   Interior of German mechanical fire damper inside of a galvanised steel duct. Fire dampers (or fire shutters) are passive fire protection products used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts to prevent and isolate the spread of fire inside the ductwork through fire-resistance rated walls and floors. [1]

6. Air handler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

   The attenuator is a specialty duct accessory that typically consists of an inner perforated baffle with sound-absorptive insulation. Sound attenuators may take the place of ductwork; conversely, inline attenuators are located close to the blower and have a bellmouth profile to minimize system effects.

7. Sound attenuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_attenuator

   A sound attenuator, or duct silencer, sound trap, or muffler, is a noise control acoustical treatment of Heating Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) ductwork designed to reduce transmission of noise through the ductwork, either from equipment into occupied spaces in a building, or between occupied spaces.

8. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Smoke dampers and fire dampers are found in ductwork where the duct passes through a firewall or firecurtain. Smoke dampers are driven by a motor, referred to as an actuator. A probe connected to the motor is installed in the run of the duct and detects smoke, either in the air which has been extracted from or is being supplied to a room, or ...

9. Turning vanes (HVAC) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_vanes_(HVAC)

   Turning vanes inside of large ductwork Turning vane close-up. HVAC turning vanes are sheet metal devices inside of mechanical ductwork used to smoothly direct air inside a duct where there is a change in direction, by reducing resistance and turbulence.
