Dampers for Pollution Control
Kelair specializes in the design and manufacturing of dampers for pollution control applications
Pollution Control Industrial Dampers
Kelair understands the unique process air and gas flow challenges of pollution control equipment manufacturers.
You require damper products that are engineered to the exacting standards that you, your customers and regulators demand. Ideal for manufacturing facilities with emission control systems and leveraging VOC (volatile organic compound) abatement techniques, Kelair dampers have become “must have” components in pollution control systems for many industrial companies.
Kelair dampers are designed and constructed to meet and exceed the most stringent equipment specifications for air flow, temperature, actuation, material choice and cost value. Airflow control dampers are used to transport and control how pollutants enter into a VOC abatement device, and affect energy efficiency and total system performance.
Pollution Control Damper Solutions
Kelair has been supplying engineered damper solutions to the pollution control market for over 30 years. Our custom industrial dampers have been installed in various types of pollution control systems, including:
- Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)
- Catalytic Recuperative Oxidizer (CATOX)
- Vapor Combustion Unit (VCU)
- Thermal Recuperative Oxidizer
Kelair can supply various styles and material combinations to fit your systems with our pollution control dampers:
- Round butterfly, multi-vane louvers, modulated vane and many others.
- Cast refractory and stainless steel for high temp applications.
- Pneumatic and electrical actuation choices.
Butterfly Dampers
Butterfly dampers have the simplest design and the fastest turnaround. They are the economical choice for applications ranging from light duty to heavy duty and low temperature to high temperature.
Louver Dampers
Kelair's Louver Dampers are applicable for light duty industrial ventilation to heavy duty, high volume flow control and isolation applications. Parallel or opposed blade, outboard bearings and linkage, adjustable packing glands and double skin airfoil vanes are all standard on louver dampers from Kelair.
Slide Gate / Guillotine Dampers
These types of slide gate or gullotine dampers are used primarily as shut off devices. Kelair's rugged, heavy duty designs are available round or square with sizes from 4" up to 96" making them an ideal solution for industrial applications.
Diverter & Tee Dampers
Diverter Dampers also called Tee Dampers are used to redirect air stream (hot gas or otherwise) from one outlet to another. These types of dampers are widely used in incineration systems to divert process air and gas to the incinerator or by-pass to the atmosphere.
Refractory Dampers
Kelair’s Refractory dampers are manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 1900 F in corrosive, particulate and/or process gas environments. Refractory dampers from Kelair help reduce heat loss to surroundings and provide erosion protection for the frame.
Inlet Vane Dampers
Inlet Vane Dampers work with fans and blowers to enhance their performance by controlling air volume and fan shut-off. They can be mounted to the fan inlet to conserve power at reduced airflow. These types of dampers reduce fan pressure without reducing speed. Kelair’s design boasts no external linkage, eliminating pinch points and damage to the assembly.
Backdraft Dampers
Kelair’s Backdraft dampers are engineered to allow airflow in one direction and prevent reverse airflow. They are typically wall or roof mounted and applied to mechanical HVAC ventilation systems. Backdraft dampers control airflow in ventilation systems either to modulate or to shut off moving air through a fan opening when it is turned off. Backdraft dampers can utilize pneumatic or electric actuators or be gravity controlled.
Stack Cap Dampers
Stack Cap Dampers or Stack Isolation Dampers both isolate the stack opening to prevent foreign material from entering when not in use and conserve warmth when the stack is shut down or during maintenance. Kelair’s Stack Cap dampers deliver accurate air flow and isolation at high temperatures and high volumes, reducing the stack effect when offline thereby protecting ductwork from the elements.
