Motorized dampers are dampers equipped with a specialized motor that allows them to regulate the amount of air flowing through an HVAC system. The motor is attached to the damper's driving blade, which is tied to the other blades through a linkage. When activated, the motor will rotate the driving blade, and the linkage will translate the rotation to all attached blades.

Benefits of Motorized Dampers
Motorized dampers from Alan Manufacturing are designed to control and direct airflow through the air ducts based on the surrounding temperature, allowing for improved air distribution throughout buildings while reducing the flow of air through components like fans and compressors to reduce noise levels in a building. This provides a number of benefits, including:
- Increased comfort. Using motorized dampers enables zoning to different areas or rooms in a building. This ensures a comfortable environment by directing conditioned air only to where it is needed.
- Automatic control. With our motorized dampers for HVAC systems, there is no need for manual adjustment– the system adjusts airflow based on temperature demand or time schedules. This makes them ideal for offices, apartments, schools, and facilities where usage patterns can vary.
- Dependable system protection. Motorized dampers from Alan Manufacturing help balance air flow, preventing overpressure or strain on HVAC components.
- Energy efficiency. Motorized HVAC dampers keep the temperature in a building consistent, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.
Key Applications for Motorized Dampers
Motorized dampers from Alan Manufacturing perform a variety of functions to meet the requirements of different environments. Key applications for our motorized dampers include:
Ventilation Control
Motorized dampers play a key role in ventilation systems, helping to control the intake of fresh air and the exhaust of stale air. This is particularly important in maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
Energy Savings
By optimizing airflow and conditioning only the necessary zones, motorized dampers contribute to significant energy savings. This not only reduces utility costs but also supports sustainability initiatives by lowering the building’s carbon footprint.
Zoned HVAC
Motorized dampers are essential in zoned HVAC systems. They can respond to the thermostat located in each zone or section of a building, allowing for precise airflow control and optimal comfort.
Airflow Regulation
Motorized dampers effectively regulate airflow in HVAC systems, moving conditioned air into a space as needed. This helps maintain desired temperatures and can even help control humidity levels.
Balancing Air Distribution
Motorized air duct dampers are used to adjust air distribution in commercial buildings and industrial facilities, ensuring even temperature and airflow throughout the space. This is critical for reducing the workload on HVAC systems and energy usage over time.
HVAC Retrofitting and Smart Integration
Motorized dampers are ideal for upgrading older HVAC systems to improve performance and energy efficiency. Remote access and automation can be integrated into smart home or building management systems (BMS) for easy ongoing management.
