Many
commercial, health-care, and school buildings experience inefficient
HVAC-system performance, complaints concerning occupant comfort, and
increasing operation and maintenance costs. Often, the culprit is
non-functioning or underperforming damper actuators and control valves.
Precision is key to a successful damper-actuator and control-valve
retrofit. This online webinar will cover:
Why Retrofit?
• Upgrading from a pneumatic system to a Direct Digital Control system.
• The system is not performing efficiently.
• The valve or damper is performing properly.
• Labor to retrofit verse replace.
• Retrofitting from pneumatic to electronic.
• Building can not be offline.
• No replacement solution available.
• Replacement solution does not fit the area.
What Damper Questions to Ask When Retrofitting
• What does the manufacturer specify as the torque rating?
• What is the total area of the damper?
• What is the air velocity, static pressure or design CFM?
• Opposed blade or parallel bland control construction?
• Are there edge seals?
• Is fail-safe actuation required?
• What is the supply voltage and control signal to the actuator?
• Can you direct couple to the shaft or is additional hardware required?

• Is the valve working properly?
• No stem leakage
• Valve is closing off properly
• Are there any specific mounting considerations?
• Height issues?
• Obstructions?
• What is your close off requirement?
• Is fail-safe actuation required?
• What is the supply voltage to the actuator?
• What is the control signal to the actuator?
• Can you isolate the valve?
• How much space is available?
• Is re-piping necessary?
• What are the flow requirements (GPM)?
