Manual Balancing Damper

Symbols used in Mechanical Plans
Balancing dampers are control
dampers that balance the flow of
air in an HVAC system.

Duct mounted smoke A device installed in ducts and air

damper transfer opening of an air
distribution or smoke control
system designed resist the
passage of air and smoke.

Bottom flat transition It connects the different sizes of

ducting, different parts of facilities,
and different materials of
ventilation components together
to ensure the smooth and steady
air flow.
Top flat transition It connects the different sizes of
ducting, different parts of facilities,
and different materials of
ventilation components together
to ensure the smooth and steady
air flow
Two-directional supply Louver faced ceiling diffusers with
diffuser two-way blow blade configuration
are constructed entirely from
aluminium including the frame,
blade and centre core.
Four-directional supply Louver faced ceiling diffusers with
diffuser four-way blow blade configuration
are constructed entirely from
aluminium including the frame,
blade and centre core.

Supply air diffuser The air supply diffuser is a device

that delivers and ventilates
conditioned air in an area, mixes
indoor air, and manages air
output. It works by reducing the
air duct velocity by increasing the
static pressure.

Return air diffuser The primary function of a return

air diffuser is to extract air from a
specific room and recycle it
through the HVAC system.

Flexible duct Flexible or flex duct is an integral

part of an air conditioning system.
The flexible ducting connects the
heating and cooling system
ductwork to the air distribution.
90° elbow with turning This is a fitting device which is
valves bent in such a way to produce 90
degree change in the direction of
flow of the content in the pipe.

Square to round transition Ductwork square to rounds, as

the name suggests, convert
square or rectangular ductwork to
round wherever such a transition
is required. This may be to
connect rectangular ductwork to
ventilation equipment designed
for a circular connection, or to
change the duct shape to pass
through a confined space.

Exhaust fan An exhaust fan is a fan which is

used to control the interior
environment by venting out
unwanted odors, particulates,
smoke, moisture, and other
contaminants which may be
present in the air.
Pneumatic thermostat A pneumatic thermostat is a
device that is hooked up to a
heating system in a home or
business setting. The thermostat
can be set to react to a specific
temperature, either causing an air
conditioning system to turn on or
a heating system to turn on.

Electrical thermostat Thermostat basically switches the

heating system on and off
accordingly. It detects by sensing
the air temperature, switches on
when the heating of air
temperature falls below the
thermostat setting and switches
off when the set temperature has
reached.
Humidistat A humidistat (sometimes called a
humidistat control) is a device that
works with a home's heating and
cooling system to automatically
adjust the amount of moisture in
the air to maintain a specific
humidity level throughout the
home.
Troffer diffuser Troffer air diffuser is a
rectangular/square integrated air-
light fixture designed to achieve
good room air distribution and low
operating noise.
