2. Kitchen hood - Wikipedia

   In addition, a ducted application eliminates the need for regular replacement of the filters and avoids the airflow restriction (and the resultant loss of power) caused by them. However, the ducted application can be impractical, due to lack of space or ability to install a duct system, make-up air requirements, or the additional cost of ...

3. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   A register's damper provides a critical function. Primarily, the damper allows the amount of hot or cool air entering a room to be controlled, providing for more accurate control over room temperature. [7] Dampers also allow air to be shut off in unused rooms, improving the efficiency of the HVAC system.

4. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

   It is basically a calibrated air damper with an automatic actuator. The VAV terminal unit is connected to either a local or a central control system. Historically, pneumatic control was commonplace, but electronic direct digital control systems are popular especially for mid- to large-size applications. Hybrid control, for example having ...

5. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

   In this way, applying power to the "open damper" terminal causes the motor to run until the damper is open while applying power at the "close damper" terminal causes the motor to run until the damper is closed. The motor is commonly powered from the same 24 volt AC power source that is used for the rest of the control system. This allows the ...

6. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).

7. Harmonic damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_damper

   A harmonic balancer (sometimes called crankshaft damper, torsional damper, or vibration damper) is the same thing as a harmonic damper except that the balancer includes a counterweight to externally balance the rotating assembly. The harmonic balancer often serves as a pulley for the accessory drive belts turning the alternator, water pump and ...
