Functional description
Pressure-relief dampers open and close automatically.
The blades are kept closed by magnets.
If the differential pressure exceeds the set maximum value, the magnetic force is overcome, and the blades open. The airflow by which the excess pressure has been caused can now flow through the damper. The pressure peak is immediately and reliably controlled. The blade opening angle depends on the differential pressure and the volume flow rate.
When the differential pressure drops below approx. 30 Pa, the blades close again.

Intermediate sizes: Intermediate widths can be interpolated
Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the volume flow rates with 50 Pa differential pressure and an airflow velocity of 2 m/s. Values for intermediate widths can be interpolated.
Sizing example
Given data
Pressure relief damper ARK2/600×1005
Maximum differential pressure 400 Pa
Differential pressure when the blade is open: 50 Pa
Quick sizing
Maximum volume flow rate 1210 l/s (4356 m³/h)
Calculation procedure
A = 0.600 × 1.005 = 0.603 m²
V = v × A = 2.0 × 0.603 (× 1000) = 1206 l/s or 4342 m³/h
Result: Up to 1206 l/s or 4342 m³/h may overflow at 50 Pa

Installation and commissioning
Type ARK2 pressure relief dampers are not suitable for use in the protection of air ducts or similar. designed as vibration, turbulence and tolerances have a negative impact on the set opening pressure of the flap
To avoid malfunctions, any disturbing effects should be kept to a minimum, and there should be a sufficient difference between the permitted maximum differential pressure and the 'normal' system pressure
Note
Tolerances:
System or system-related influences can not be taken into account when adjusting the opening pressure, which can lead to deviations on site
Temperature fluctuations (in the released temperature range) have influences on the holding torque of the holding element, which can lead to tolerances on the set opening pressure
