  • Publication number: 20230013011
    Abstract: A damper system includes a damper housing configured to flow air, a damper blade disposed in the damper housing and having an orifice, the damper blade being rotatable in the damper housing between a closed position and an open position. The orifice is configured to allow air to flow through the damper blade while the damper blade is in the closed position. An auto-balancing damper is disposed in the damper housing apart from the damper blade, and the auto-balancing damper is configured to regulate a flow of the air through the damper housing.

  • Patent number: 11243008
    Abstract: A frame assembly for an air distribution system includes a damper assembly, a louver assembly, and a screen frame. Air flows through the damper assembly and the louver assembly, where the damper assembly terminates in a first flange and the louver terminates in a second flange. The first flange and the second flange are coupled to one another about a screen frame such that the screen frame is captured by abutting the first flange and the second flange.
