Embodiment Construction

[0015] Systems and methods for damper actuators without microcontrollers can be used with direct current (DC) motors and line voltage motors, etc., such as the GND and GGD type fireproof and fireproof motors manufactured by SIEMENS INDUSTRY INC. BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES DIVISION Smoke damper actuator.

[0016] figure 1 is an exploded view of an exemplary actuator 10 , for example, for use with a damper 12 . The actuator 10 can include a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 13 configured to receive a rotatable output coupling 14 through a coupling bore 16 via a bearing ring 18 . Coupling 14 is configured to be operatively coupled to an external device, such as damper 12 or a valve, and is adapted to align the default rest position of shutter 13 of damper 12 in the event of a power interruption with the desired position when power is applied to actuator 10. Shift between operating positions. The actuator 10 can be reversible to adjust either the normally closed damper 12 or the...

Abstract

Methods and systems include an actuator (10) adapted to provide drive power and hold power to an external device. A motor (34) provides for driving the external device to a determined position when the motor (34) is energized. A switching circuit is configured to energize the motor (34) with a high voltage to drive the external device to the determined position and energize the motor (34) with a low voltage to hold the external device in the determined position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for a damper actuator without a microcontroller. Background technique [0002] Dampers, such as those in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, can include valves or plates that stop or regulate air flow in ducts, chimneys, variable air volume (VAV) boxes, air handlers, or other air handling Air flow inside the device. Where ductwork passes through fire partitions / curtains, fire dampers are installed as part of the fire protection strategy. The damper actuator controls the opening and closing of the damper. The damper actuator allows the damper system to bring in outside air, outside smoke, and / or move the damper system in a way that air cannot get in. Conventional actuators typically require a microcontroller, which introduces additional components and cost to the actuator. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] Systems and methods for actuators (eg, for external de...
