Ruskin recently announcedthe BTD830 bubble tight isolation damper, the company’s newest addition to its bubble tight product series. The BTD830 is a rectangular bubble tight damper ideal for applications where extremely low leakage is required. The rectangular design offers more free area, lower pressure drops, better airflow compared to round or oval dampers, and is a lower-cost alternative to other bubble tight dampers.
Typical applications include biotech labs, food processing operations, industrial process systems, laboratories and nuclear power plants, along with medical, military and pharmaceutical facilities.
The BTD830 is bubble tight according to the AMCA 500-D standard with a maximum velocity of 4,000 FPM, a static pressure of 10.0” w.g. (2.5 kPa) and a temperature range of -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C).
Damper sizes range from 6” x 6” (15.2cm x 15.2cm) to 36” x 16” (91.4cm x 40.6cm). The flanged dampers can be mounted for horizontal or vertical airflow, and standard or custom mounting hole configurations are available.
Standard features include:
Optional features include square flanges, a mil-spec frame or blade (304SS, 304LSS, 316SS, 316LSS) and mil-spec axle (316 SS, 316L SS) or finish (304SS, 304L SS, 316SS, 316L SS). Ruskin can supply and mount actuators and limit switches as needed, including:
