In modern building automation systems, maintaining a comfortable indoor climate is paramount. One of the vital components that help achieve this is the damper actuator. A damper actuator is a device that controls the opening and closing of dampers, which are mechanical devices used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to regulate airflow. This article aims to explore the importance, functionality, types, and applications of damper actuators in contemporary HVAC systems.

    What is a Damper Actuator?

    A damper actuator is an electro-mechanical device that adjusts dampers' position in air ducts or systems, allowing or restricting airflow based on specific conditions or commands. By precisely controlling airflow, damper actuators help to optimize HVAC performance, enhance energy efficiency, and improve indoor air quality.
