Model SMD-401
APPLICATION
Model SMD-401 is a class I leakage rated smoke damper. High
strength, streamlined extruded airfoil blades insure lowest resistance
to airflow in HVAC systems with velocities to 3000 fpm (15.2 m/s) and
6 in. wg (1.5 kPa). Model SMD-401 may be installed vertically (with
blades running horizontal) or horizontally and is rated for airflow and
leakage in either direction.
RATINGS
Leakage: UL 555S leakage class I. Leakage rated
in both directions
Velocity: Operational rated to 3000 fpm (15.2 m/s)
for sizes up to 48 in. W x 108 in. H or
144 in. H x 36 in. H (1219mm x 2743mm)
or (3658mm x 914mm) or 2000 fpm
(10.2 m/s) for sizes greater than that.
Rating is for airflow in either direction
through damper.
Temperature: 250°F (121°C) with all actuators.
Maximum Pressure: 6 in. (1.5 kPa)

Pressure Drop Data
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 .075 lb/ft
3
(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.
