Damper Butterfly Valve

Damper Butterfly VALVE

Industrial Air & Gas Flow Control Dampers | Fabricated Construction | DN 100–2000

MNC Valves is a Damper Butterfly Valve Manufacturer in India, manufacturing industrial fabricated butterfly dampers designed for air, flue gas, dust-laden gas, and low-pressure process systems.

Damper butterfly valves are primarily used for flow regulation and isolation in air handling systems, exhaust lines, boiler ducts, furnaces, and industrial ventilation systems.

MANUFACTURING STANDARDS

  • Customized industrial fabrication standards
  • ASME Section VIII principles (Where applicable)
  • IS / DIN flange drilling standards (Where required)
  • Internal quality inspection standards
  • Testing is performed as per customer specification

(Note: Dampers are generally not designed to API 609 pressure ratings.)

PRODUCT DESIGN OVERVIEW

Damper butterfly valves are fabricated steel construction valves designed for low-pressure gas service.

  • β€’ Fabricated body (MS / SS)
  • β€’ Center-mounted shaft
  • β€’ Circular disc plate
  • β€’ Metal-to-metal sealing
  • β€’ Manual or actuated operation

This design provides:

  • βœ” Air flow regulation
  • βœ” Flue gas control
  • βœ” Dust and exhaust systems
  • βœ” Furnace and boiler systems

SIZE & PRESSURE RANGE

  • Size Range: DN 50 mm to DN 1200 mm (Larger on request)
  • Pressure Range: Low pressure service
  • Typically suitable for air and gas systems
  • Temperature: As per material selection

Damper valves are not intended for high-pressure liquid service

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

Body Materials Disc Materials Shaft Materials
Mild Steel (MS), Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316) MS, SS304, SS316 EN8, SS304, SS316 / Sealing Type, Metal-to-metal, Soft sealing (On request for specific applications)

DESIGN FEATURES

  • Fabricated heavy-duty construction
  • Large diameter capability
  • Low torque operation
  • Manual / Gear / Actuator operation
  • Lightweight compared to cast flanged valves
  • Suitable for gas flow modulation

END CONNECTION

  • Flanged Ends
  • Wafer Style
  • Welded Ends (On Request) / ANSI, DIn, IS

TESTING & QUALITY CONTROL

  • Visual inspection
  • Dimensional verification
  • Functional operation test
  • Leakage test (As per customer requirement)

Damper valves are typically not hydrotested like pressure-rated valves

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The disc rotates 90Β° within the duct or pipeline.

  • β€’ 0Β° – Fully closed (Partial metal sealing)
  • β€’ 90Β° – Fully open

Damper valves are mainly used for flow control rather than bubble-tight shut-off.

APPLICATIONS

  • Boiler Systems
  • Thermal Power Plants
  • Furnace Systems
  • Cement Plants
  • Steel Plants
  • Dust Collection Systems
  • Air Handling Units (AHU)
  • Industrial Ventilation Systems

DAMPER VALVE VS RESILIENTSEATED BUTTERFLYVALVE

Feature Damper Valve Resilient Seated Butterfly
Pressure Rating Low PN Rated
Media Air / Gas Liquid / Gas
Sealing Metal-to-metal Elastomer seat
Application Flow regulation Tight shut-off

Damper valves are selected for gas flow systems where pressure is low and tight shut-off is not critical

AUTOMATION OPTIONS

Available with:

  • β€’ Manual Lever
  • β€’ Gear Operator
  • β€’ Pneumatic Actuator
  • β€’ Electric Actuator

Suitable for automated air flow control systems
