DAMPERS MAINTENANCE
Following are some of the recommended performance monitoring and maintenance tasks for the dampers.
The frequency of these tasks should be as indicated or based on operating experience -
- External visual inspections of damper movement - semi annual
- Internal visual inspection of the damper blade seals (mainly important for isolation function) - annual.
- Lubrication of damper blades shaft bearings as required - as required
- Calibration of the damper blade & actuator positioning - annual
Following are the recommended maintenance tasks for the actuators -
Pneumatic -
- External visual inspection of the linkages and lubrication as required
- Periodic replacement of the diaphram or piston seals
- Periodic replacement of the solenoid valves
Electric motor -
- External visual inspection of the linkages and lubrication as required
- Lubrication of the reduction gears and mechanisms
Electro Hydraulic -
- External visual inspection of the linkages and lubrication as required
- Change hydraulic oil and filter
- Calibration of internal controls
- Periodic overhaul and replacement of internal components - piston and shaft seals, pump and motor,
solenoid valves, etc.
