INTRODUCTIONThe IRIS damper is a brilliantly simple solution for fastand exact measurement, balance and control of airflow. Itis ideal for supply and exhaust tracking control, individualcomfort control, and any space requiring accurate airflowregulation. Applications for the IRIS damper includeoffice buildings, pharmaceuticals, clean room environ-ments and laboratories. Its unique design allows for air-flow to be measured and controlled at a single station,thus saving time and money in initial installation and com-missioning, and those applications requiring air balanceon a regular basis.

CONSTRUCTIONThe IRIS damper is comprised of a casing, damperblades, an adjustment or regulating nut, an airflow adjust-ment chart, and airflow taps. Blades and casing are man-ufactured from either galvanized (IRIS, IRIS-M) or 316stainless steel (IRIS-S). The remaining components aremade from high strength plastics. On the IRIS-M, anelectronic actuator is included to allow for remote controlof the damper. The IRIS-M-PS has a positive seal centerplug that provides 100% shut-off capability.

SELECTIONThe criteria to be considered when applying an IRISdamper are airflow, pressure drop and sound require-ments. The IRIS damper represents a resistance to air-flow, as do the duct and fittings.

Selecting an IRIS damper is simple. In the case of anexisting duct design, choose an IRIS damper to matchduct size.

Alternatively, using the Selection Curves on pages 4 and5, select an IRIS damper at a mid-range setting to matchdesired airflow and pressure drop. This establishes therequired duct size. Additionally, this provides the enduser with balancing flexibility in the event that airflowrequirements should change.

Consideration of the total pressure drop and soundrequirements at design airflow is important. TheSelection Curves indicate the total pressure drop of anIRIS damper at a given airflow and damper position.Additionally, sound pressure curves across variousdamper settings are provided. LA is the sound pressurelevel with 4 dB room attenuation.

AIRFLOW CONTROL AND BALANCEOnce an IRIS damper has been selected and installed,and the system is operational, the damper may be adjust-ed to deliver the required airflow using the airflow adjust-ment chart located on the damper. Airflow AdjustmentCharts for IRIS and IRIS-S dampers are presented onpages 6 and 7. Airflow Adjustment Charts for IRIS-Mdampers are presented on page 9.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Each IRIS damper contains two airflow taps (pressure ports)and an airflow adjustment chart. By connecting a pressuregauge to the taps of the damper, the pressure drop acrossthe damper blades can be measured. The illustration (fig.1)shows the setup for making a pressure measurement.

Each damper setting has a unique ‘k’ factor that defines thecurves at different damper settings. The air velocity flowingthrough the orifice of the damper is proportional to the meas-ured pressure drop. Once the velocity is known, the airflowcan be easily calculated when the cross-sectional area ofthe orifice is known. The relationship between pressure dropand airflow through an IRIS damper is given by the equation:

q = k ∆pm

where q = airflow (cfm)∆pm = measured pressure drop (in. w.g.)

k = constant of proportionality dependent upon orifice area

For initial airflow balance, note the damper position andrelated pressure drop. Refer to the Airflow AdjustmentChart to determine the airflow (fig.2).

To adjust to a new airflow, locate the desired airflow on theAirflow Adjustment Chart, and adjust the damper positionuntil the required pressure drop is achieved (fig.3).

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

IRIS DAMPER FEATURES & BENEFITS• Precise airflow measurement

• Accurate air balancing to +/- 5%

• Single station measurement and control

• Reduced field labor time

• Ideal for office buildings, pharmaceuticals, clean roomenvironments and laboratories

• Compact design, superior performance

• Fully retractable blades for duct cleaning

• Available in an assortment of sizes for a broad rangeof airflow measurement requirements

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATIONSThe calibration accuracy of an IRIS damper during distur-bance free airflow is 5%. However, when an IRIS damperis installed near duct fittings, measurement accuracymay be affected. For optimum operation and airflowcontrol, the chart (Fig. 4) indicates the recommendeddistances between an IRIS damper and duct elbows,tees and transitions. From the chart, to achieve the air-flow accuracy, m2, distance Lmin defines the minimumdistance separating an IRIS damper from the fitting. Forexample, when a damper is located at greater than 1duct diameter from an elbow, the accuracy of the airflowmeasurement is expected to be ± 7%.
