Application
The HBTR-151 is an isolation damper designed for isolation
and decontamination applications. The damper has bubble
tight leakage performance per AMCA 500-D up to 10 in. wg
(2.5 kPa). The damper frame is flanged for easy mounting and
the blade seal is mechanically fastened to the blade.

Performance Data HBTR-151
AMCA Test Figure 5.3
Figure 5.3 Illustrates a fully ducted damper. This configuration has low pressure drop because entrance and exit losses are
minimized by straight duct runs upstream and downstream of the damper.
AMCA Test Figure 5.3
4D 6D
Pressure Drop Data
This pressure drop data was conducted in accordance with
AMCA 500-D using Test Figure 5.3. All data has been corrected
to represent standard air at a density of 0.075 lb/ft3 (1.2kg/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.
Leakage
Every HBTR-151 is leakage tested at 10 in. wg (2.5 kPa) in
accordance with AMCA 500-D before it leaves the factory.
Greenheck does not ship a HBTR-151 unless it meets the
requirements of the standard.

Bearing Detail
The ball bearings are mounted outboard for easy access.
The bearing comes with a grease fitting, allowing for easy
lubrication (axle seals included but not shown in bearing detail).
Axle Seal Detail
The double gland axle seal is mounted externally for easy
access and provides bubble tight performance.

Frame Construction HBTR-151
Frame Construction Options
Bolt Holes:
Standard - Does not include bolt holes
Optional - Bolt holes in both flanges
Greenheck recommended bolt hole pattern is shown in the
table below. Customer must specify bolt holes that are parallel
to the axle centerline (P) or that straddle the axle centerline (S)
as shown in the diagrams below. Greenheck can also provide
bolt hole sizes and patterns other than those shown below.

Specifications
Industrial grade isolation dampers meeting the following
specifications shall be furnished and installed where shown on
plans and/or as described in schedules.
Dampers shall consist of round and flanged frame, full length
axle, double skin blade, solid silicone blade seal, double gland
axle seal and outboard ball bearings. Blade seal shall be
mechanically fastened to the blade and be field replaceable.
Blade shall be welded to the axle. Bearing shall be bolted to
outboard mounting plates and shall include a grease fitting for
relubrication. double gland stuffing box shall prevent leakage
around the axle.
Each damper shall be tested in accordance to AMCA Standard
500-D Bubble Tight Test at 10 in. wg (2.5 kPa) prior to shipping.
Damper manufacturer’s printed application and performance
data including pressure, and velocity limitations shall be
submitted for approval showing damper suitable for pressures
up to 10 in. wg (2.5 kPa), velocities up to 3900 fpm (19.8 m/s),
and temperatures to 250°F (121°C) maximum.
Frame gauges, blade gauges, and axle diameters shall be
equal to or exceed those of the model which is the basis of
design.
Basis of design is Greenheck model HBTR-151.
