Abstract: A diffuser arranged at the downstream side of a blower, the diffuser including a conical diffuser shroud with a back draft damping butterfly valve arranged in the diffuser opening, and where the butterfly valve includes two doors both being attached to the diffuser shroud via a hinge arrangement adapted for allowing each of the two doors to rotate between a closed and an open position about the hinge axes extending between opposite sides of the diffuser shroud and where the doors are shaped so that they together substantially close the diffuser opening when they are in their closed position, and wherein each hinge axis intersects the diffuser shroud at a position closer to the upstream side at one side than on the opposite side of the diffuser shroud.
