D2 (Former D642), D3 (Former D640)
CONTROL DAMPERS
FEATURES
Frame:
• Standard frames utilize heavy-duty 5 in. (12.7 cm) x 1 in.
(0.25 cm) 16 ga. galvanized steel hat channel frame,
designed for installation inside ductwork. Reinforced
corners. Low profile head and sill on dampers less than 17
in. (43.2 cm) high.
Frame Options:
• Stainless steel and aluminum (14 and 12 gage galvanized
steel only).
• Single flange (either side of frame) or double flange (both
sides of frame). (See Fig. 2.)
Flange:
• Additional 1 1/2 in. on each side.
Blades:
• Standard 3-V blades are fabricated from a single thickness
of 16 ga. galvanized steel incorporating three longitudinal
structural V-grooves (each running the full length of the
blade). (See Fig. 1.) This blade has low to medium velocity
and pressure capabilities.
Honeywell International, Inc. certifies that the
models D2, and D3 shown herein are licensed to
bear the AMCA Seal. The ratings shown are
based on tests and procedures performed in
accordance with AMCA Publication 511 and
comply with the requirements of the AMCA
Certified Ratings Programs. The AMCA Certified
Ratings Seal applies to air performance ratings
only. March 2008.
The D2, D3 Control Dampers are ruggedly built with 3-V style
blades for application as automatic control or manual
balancing dampers in low to medium pressure and velocity
systems. A wide range of electric or pneumatic actuators are
available for these models.
The D2 series is an ultra low leakage control damper which
includes blade and jamb seals.The D3 series is a general
purpose damper intended for applications where low leakage
performance is not necessary.
Axles:
• 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) diameter square plated steel axles
positively locked to the blades eliminate slippage between
blades and axles. Removable shaft extends 6 in. (15.2 cm)
beyond frame. Optional stainless steel construction.
Bearings:
• Molded synthetic (acetal) bearings rotate in a polished
extruded frame raceway. Extremely low friction and long
operating life result from this advanced design. Bronze or
stainless steel bearings are optional.
Linkage:
• Blade-to-blade linkage (for parallel or opposed blade
action) is concealed within the frame.
• Linkage is engineered to accurately control each and every
blade without need for adjustment. Plated steel
construction ensures a long corrosion free life.
Seals:
• D2 Only: Flexible stainless steel compression-type jamb
seals (between blade ends and side frames) and extruded
vinyl blade seals (between blade edges) reduce leakage.
Silicone or blade seals are optional.
Sizing:
• Nominal sizing results in 1/4 in. undersizing on each side.
Actual sizing available as option.

Parallel/Opposed Blade Operation (Fig. 3)
Control dampers are offered with either parallel or opposed
blades (silicone or vinyl blade seals are optional). Each style
has distinguishing characteristics regarding fan performance
control and change in air velocity profile:
— Parallel blade operation is preferred:
— When the damper makes up a significant portion
of the total system pressure loss.
— When greater control is required near the top end
of the volume operating range or for systems
requiring two position (fully open or fully closed)
operation.
— Parallel blades should not be used upstream of
critical components due to uneven airflow.
— Opposed blade operation is preferred:
— When the damper doesn’t make up a significant
portion of the total system pressure loss.
— For applications where it is necessary to maintain
even distribution of air downstream from the
damper.
— For ducted outlets.
— Opposed blade dampers must open farther to
obtain the same airflow resistance as parallel
blade dampers.
