The guillotine damper, or slide gate damper as it is sometimes called, has the main function of isolation of equipment to permit inspection, maintenance, or repair in addition to process isolation. Occasionally, guillotine dampers are specified for bypass ducts, if operation requirements allow enough time for the slow-moving blade to travel across the opening.The basic mechanical elements of the guillotine damper are a blade, a peripheral-seal system to prevent gas leakage at all stages of blade movement, support members for the blade , and a drive to move the blade steadily and continuously from open to closed and back again.In addition, the guillotine damper generally requires more care in design and construction of the seals. Perhaps this is because gas-tightness requirements are higher for guillotines than for louvers, but the fact remains that, in many guillotine dampers, the blade drags past most of the seal perimeter for the full stroke, making heavier demands on the seal material.The simplest form of guillotine damper is the single-thickness flat plate blade. The one-piece blade provides verifiable closure of the duct with minimal leakage at the blade edges. Seals are provided to control leakage where the blade enters the duct section. These seals can be air sealed to contain gases in a positive pressure duct. Leak paths are typically less than 0.1% of duct area with resulting flow leakage of 0.4 to 1.1%. The blade guides insure smooth operation and are self cleaning in deposit producing environments.
