How does a fire damper work?

In the event of fire, the fusible link melts and the shutter gets closed. This helps in blocking the fire from spreading through the duct ----- If you are asking about a damper on a stove or chimney, that is not called a fire damper, but just a damper. There is a link to a question on that below.

What is the difference between a fireplace flue and a fireplace damper?

The flue is the actual pipe or chimney where the damper is the mechanism that opens and closes the flue


How do you input impact load for a damper?

To input impact load for a damper, you need to determine the maximum expected force that the damper will experience during an impact event. This can be calculated based on the mass of the impacting object and its velocity at the moment of impact using the impulse-momentum principle. Once the impact load is quantified, it can be entered into the damper's specifications in the relevant design software or manual calculations, ensuring that the damper is rated to handle such loads without failure. Proper consideration of damping characteristics and material properties is also essential to ensure effective performance under impact conditions.


How does a pressure-relief damper work?

A pressure-relief damper is designed to regulate airflow in a ventilation system by automatically opening or closing in response to changes in pressure. When the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold, the damper opens to allow excess air to escape, preventing potential damage to the system or maintaining safety. Conversely, when the pressure drops, the damper closes to maintain optimal airflow and efficiency. This mechanism helps ensure balanced air distribution and improves overall system performance.
