Greenheck EM-30 Series Specification Sheet

The EM-30 series is a vertical mounted backdraft damper that is designed to allow horizontal airflow and prevent reverse airflow. The damper is opened by air pressure differential and closed by gravity. Ratings (See page 2 for specific limitations) Pressure: 4.0 - 10.0 in. wg (996 Pa- 2491 Pa) differential pressure. Velocity: 2500 to 3500 fpm (13 m/s - 18 m/s) Temperature: 180°F (82ºC) Standard Construction Frame: Heavy gauge 6063T5 extruded aluminum. (0.125 in. [3.2mm] thickness) Blades: Heavy gauge 6063T5 extruded aluminum. (0.070 in. [1.8mm] thickness) Axles: 3/4 in. (19mm) dia. metallic Bearings: Synthetic (acetal) sleeve type Linkage: 1/8 in. (3mm) plated steel Blade Seals: Vinyl Size Limitations Minimum Size (without weights): 8 in. W x 8 in. H (203mm x 203mm) Minimum Size (with weights): 8 in. W x 11 in. H (203mm x 279mm) Maximum Size: 48 in. W x 74 in. H (1219mm x 1880mm) Options and Accessories • Counterbalance Weights • APC (Adjustable Pressure Controller). Allows field setting of relief pressure on all EM dampers. Use one per panel. Maximum recommended pressure set limitations are as follows: (EM-30 damper must be equipped with counterbalance.) Sizes larger than maximum shown will be supplied as two or more equal size smaller dampers required to make up the size specified. These larger multiple damper assemblies require field assembly and may require additional reinforcement (not supplied by Greenheck) to support the assembly. *W & H dimensions furnished approximately 1/4 in.

furnished and installed where shown on plans and/or as described in schedules. Dampers shall consist of: heavy gauge 6063T5 extruded aluminum channel frame (0.125 in. [3.2mm] thick) with 31Ú8 in. (79mm) depth; blades from 0.070 in. (1.8mm) 6063T5 extruded aluminum; 3/4 in. (19mm) dia. metallic axles turning in acetal bearings; damper shall be equipped with extruded vinyl blade seals; and internal 1/8 in. (3mm) plated steel blade-to- blade linkage. Damper manufacturer’s printed application and performance data including pressure, velocity and temperature limitations shall be submitted for approval showing damper suitable for pressures to 10 in. wg (2491 Pa), velocities to 3500 fpm (18m/s) and temperatures to 180°F (82ºC). Testing and ratings to be in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D. Basis of design is Greenheck model EM-30. Pressure Drop Performance data results from testing a 36 in. x 36 in. (914mm x 914mm) damper in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D using Figure 5.3 and Figure 5.5. All data has been corrected to represent standard air at 0.075 lb/ft3 (1.201 kg/m3).
