From the Belimo Support Center: How do I Size a Damper Actuator?
How do I Size a Damper Actuator? The “10 questions” method for sizing and selection found in the attachment is recommended. It takes into consideration the total damper area, blade and seal construction, and air velocity as well as various actuator requirements such as supply voltage and control signal. For a more in-depth explanation of damper actuator sizing and performance you can download our Damper Application Guide.
Belimo’s SelectPro software can be used for damper actuator sizing and selection.
Belimo University also has a 30 minute webinar on damper sizing and selection.
