Damper
Small furnaces and larger, industrial sized
systems both use dampers. In fact, most
modern furnaces contain four dampers.
Dampers ensure that furnace systems work
well and safely by automatically regulating
furnace functions or allowing a person to
manually adjust those functions to safe
settings
.
Function
Furnace dampers serve several purposes that
relate to the air flow or pressure in the system.
Some dampers may completely stop or allow
the flow of air, while other dampers allow the
furnace user to control the specific amount of
air flow or pressure in the system.

Dampers are not only identifiable by their function and
type but also by their location within the furnace system.
For example,
an
ash pit damper
is located at the base of the furnace
(the ash pit) while
a smoke pipe damper
is located in the
stove pipe that connects the furnace to the chimney. A
damper at the base of the chimney is known as the
check
damper
. The last common location damper is the
fireplace
door damper
. These locations may correspond to the
function of the damper as well. The check damper (back-
draft damper) at the base of the chimney is responsible
for preventing a reversal of air flow.
Types
A pressure control damper
controls the pressure or pressure
differential in a furnace system while an user can adjust
flow control damper
to adjust the (air) flow level in a system. Other
dampers act in response to prevent the reversal of flow, as is the case
with a
check damper
, or to establish a baseline for air flow or
pressure within a purpose (
balancing damper
). The function of an
isolation or shut-off damper
is to stop the air flow, altogether, in a
system, while a
flow control damper
simply allows a user to maintain
a desired level of air flow.
