HBTR-451

Bubble Tight Isolation Damper

Application
The HBTR-451 is an isolation damper designed for isolation
and decontamination applications. The damper has bubble tight
leakage performance per AMCA 500-D up to 30 in. wg (7.5 kPa).
The damper frame is flanged for easy mounting and the blade
seal is mechanically fastened to the blade.

Mounting Holes
Standard - Does not include mounting holes
Optional - Bolt holes in both flanges
Greenheck recommended bolt hole pattern is shown in the table below. Customer must specify bolt holes that are parallel to the axle
centerline (P) or that straddle the axle centerline (S) as shown in the diagrams below. Greenheck can also provide bolt hole sizes and
patterns other than those shown below.

Performance Data
Pressure Drop Data
This pressure drop data was conducted in accordance with AMCA 500-D using Test Figure 5.3. All data has been corrected to
represent standard air at a density of 0.075 lb/ft3 (1.2 kg/m3).
Actual pressure drop found in any HVAC system is a combination of many factors. This pressure drop information along with an
analysis of other system influences should be used to estimate actual pressure losses for a damper installed in a given HVAC system.

AMCA Test Figure 5.3

Figure 5.3 illustrates a fully ducted damper. This configuration
has low pressure drop because entrance and exit losses are
minimized by straight duct runs upstream and downstream of the
damper.

Leakage
Every HBTR-451 is leakage tested at 30 in. wg (7.5 KPa) in accordance with AMCA 500-D before it leaves the factory. Greenheck
does not ship a HBTR-451 unless it meets the requirements of the standard.

Axle Seal Detail Bearing Detail

The double gland axle seal is mounted externally for easy access The ball bearings are mounted outboard for easy access. The
and provides bubble tight performance. bearing comes with a grease fitting, allowing for easy lubrication
(axle seals included but not shown in bearing detail).
