New Ruskin® Data Center Dampers

February 5, 2025

Ruskin® introduces three new commercial damper models designed specifically for data centers: the CD60DC, CD50DC, and TED50DC. These models are engineered to optimize HVAC systems crucial for maintaining optimal conditions in data centers, ensuring high performance and reliability of information technology equipment (ITE).

Air control dampers are pivotal in these systems, requiring peak operational performance. The new damper models feature a redesigned coupler that eliminates the need for a jackshaft, allowing actuators to be mounted on the frame's side for a slim profile in space-constrained environments. Additionally, larger multi-section sizes enhance operational efficiency with fewer moving parts. These dampers are available in both galvanized steel and extruded aluminum.

CD60DC

High-Performance Galvanized Steel Airfoil Blade Damper - AMCA Class 1A Leakage Rating

The CD60DC boasts an impressive AMCA leakage rating of 3 cfm/ft2 at 1” w.g., meeting International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards. It features one-piece roll-formed airfoil blades for minimal pressure drop and a robust uniframe design. For more details, please visit www.ruskin.com/model/cd60dc.

Standard Features:

  • Class 1A leakage performance for energy savings
  • One-piece airfoil blade for low pressure drop
  • Mechanically fastened blade seals for longevity
  • Shake-proof linkage for low maintenance

CD50DC

High-Performance Control Damper - Extruded Aluminum | Airfoil Blade Damper - AMCA Class 1A Leakage Rating

The CD50DC also achieves an AMCA leakage rating of 3 cfm/ft2 at 1” w.g., meeting IECC requirements. It features extruded aluminum airfoil blades for minimal pressure drop and a reinforced frame. For more information, please visit www.ruskin.com/model/cd50d.

Standard Features:

  • Class 1A leakage performance for energy savings
  • Aluminum airfoil blades for low pressure drop
  • Mechanically fastened blade seals for longevity
  • Shake-proof linkage for low maintenance

TED50DC

Thermally Efficient Extruded Aluminum Insulated Airfoil Blade Damper - AMCA Class 1A Leakage Rating

The TED50DC offers superior thermal efficiency and an AMCA leakage rating of 3 cfm/ft2 at 1” w.g., meeting IECC standards. It features insulated airfoil blades with twin-blade edge seals to eliminate thermal transfer, reducing condensation risks. For more details, please visit www.ruskin.com/model/ted50d.

Standard Features:

  • AMCA Class 1A Leakage Rating
  • Insulated airfoil blade and low pressure drop
  • Twin seals isolate blade thermal break
  • R Value = 2.16 (tested to ASTM C1363-2011)
  • Shake-proof linkage for low maintenance
