Setting the Benchmark for Ventilation Dampers

The Fresh Air Damper (FAD) by Field Controls is a cutting-edge, 24VAC power-open, power-close motorized air damper meticulously designed for seamless integration into fresh air ventilation ducts. Engineered to be part of a system that includes an outdoor air intake hood and a duct fan or HVAC return plenum, the FAD plays a pivotal role in regulating the influx of fresh air into homes. Typically, the FAD operates under the guidance of the FAVC Ventilation Control, ensuring compliance with ASHRAE 62.2 and other ventilation codes. Notably, it can also function independently for either passive or fan-induced fresh air applications.

• Automatic Ventilation: The FAD, when connected to the Fresh Air Ventilation Control, automatically facilitates the control of fresh air flow into the home. Proper ventilation helps mitigate indoor air pollutants which makes the FAD crucial for maintaining a healthy and comfortable living space.
• Enhanced Ventilation Compliance: The Fresh Air Damper (FAD) is specifically designed to meet ASHRAE 62.2 and other fresh air ventilation codes and standards which ensures improved indoor air quality and occupant health.
• Efficient and Low-Power Operation: The FAD boasts a 24VAC power-open, power-close motorized air damper with very low power requirements ensuring low cost operation. Plus, the low air flow resistance of the damper contributes to the overall efficiency of the ventilation system. Additionally, the motor and circuit board are certified for longevity, with a durability of 100K+ cycles. Field Contols products are designed for sustained performance over an extended period, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements.
• Durable Construction and Safety Features: Constructed with stainless steel for both the body and gate, the FAD ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, extending its lifespan and maintaining structural integrity in various environmental conditions. The inclusion of a tear-resistant closed-cell foam rubber seal, tested for over 500K cycles, enhances the damper’s longevity and effectiveness in sealing off unwanted air infiltration. Moreover, the seal’s flammability meeting FMVSS-302 adds an extra layer of safety. Enjoy peace of mind knowing the FAD will operate without fail for many years to come.
