Damper actuators are an integral component in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These devices are responsible for regulating the airflow in air ducts by controlling the position of dampers, ensuring proper ventilation, temperature control, and air quality. As HVAC systems become more complex and demand for energy efficiency rises, the role of damper actuators is growing more significant. CNHELI, a leading brand in the actuator industry, has developed advanced solutions that contribute to the improvement of HVAC performance, making it an essential player in this field.

    What is a Damper Actuator?

    A damper actuator is a mechanical or electrical device that controls the opening and closing of dampers within air ducts. Dampers themselves are devices that can be adjusted to control airflow within a duct system. The actuator operates these dampers based on signals from a central control system, such as a thermostat or a building management system (BMS). Damper actuators can be pneumatic, electric, or even hydraulic, with electric actuators being the most common in modern systems due to their precision and ease of control.
