Model DFD-M210

R

Application

Model DFD-M210 is a multi-blade fire damper with 3V style blades.
The DFD-M210 has been qualified to 10.2 m/s (2000 fpm) and 1.0kPa
(4 in. wg.) for operation and dynamic closure in emergency fire
situations. Model DFD-M210 may be installed vertically (with blades
running horizontal) or horizontally and is rated for airflow in either
direction.

Model DFD-M210 has also been tested in accordance with BS476 to
4 hours at Warrrington Fire, UK, and is approved for fire partitions of 4
hours or less where British Standards are required.

This pressure drop testing was conducted in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D using the three configurations shown. All
data has been corrected to represent standard air at a density of 1.201 kg/m3.

Actual pressure drop found in any HVAC system is a combination of many factors. This pressure drop information along with an
analysis of other system influences should be used to estimate actual pressure losses for a damper installed in a given HVAC
system.

AMCA Test Figures

Figure 5.3 Illustrates a fully ducted damper. This configuration has the lowest pressure drop of the three test configurations

because entrance and exit losses are minimized by straight duct runs upstream and downstream of the damper.

Figure 5.2 Illustrates a ducted damper exhausting air into an open area. This configuration has a lower pressure drop than

Figure 5.5 because entrance losses are minimized by a straight duct run upstream of the damper.

Figure 5.5 Illustrates a plenum mounted damper. This configuration has the highest pressure drop because of extremely high

entrance and exit losses due to the sudden changes of area in the system.
