Emergency opening of inlet dampers during a power cut

Storm clouds over a field — an illustration of the risk of a power cut

What should the emergency system do?

This article covers the opening of inlet dampers in the event of a power cut. The starting point for discussing such a system is to determine what should happen to the air inlets when normal control is no longer available.

Before choosing a solution, it is worth gathering information about the actuators used, how they are powered and the position required in an emergency. These requirements should be checked against the instructions for the specific devices. The video illustrates the topic and does not replace an installation design.
