How are genset dampers designed to support emergency generator start up?
Genset dampers are designed to open quickly during emergency generator start up to provide maximum combustion air and allow for pressure relief. This rapid response helps reduce the risk of damage to equipment and surrounding spaces.
Ruskin, known for its innovation, engineering excellence, and precision manufacturing, offers three genset damper options, including the CD60GS.
Model CD60GS is designed to provide maximum combustion air and pressure relief quickly for emergency generator start up to avoid damage of equipment or surrounding space.
- The factory mounted fast-acting 8-second spring open actuator provides optimal performance and reliability.
- The CD60GS also provides AMCA class 1A leakage rating of 3cfm/ft2 at 1” w.g. when blades are closed to meet requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
Contact your local TBCo branch for more information on Ruskin's line of genset dampers and their applications.
