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 year was damper invented?

The First Known/Recorded Use Of Damper Was In 1707, it was mostly eaten by Stockmen.


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 model tuned liquid damper or tuned liquid column damper in sap2000?

In SAP2000, a tuned liquid damper (TLD) or tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) can be modeled using the "Link" element feature to represent the damping effect. You can define the properties of the damper by specifying its mass, stiffness, and damping characteristics based on the desired tuning frequency and damping ratio. Additionally, you can apply the appropriate loading conditions and time history analysis to simulate the damper's performance under dynamic loads. It's essential to ensure that the model reflects the physical characteristics of the TLD/TLCD accurately for reliable results.


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.
