Fire Dampers insulation
Fire Dampers insulation
(OP)
Hey everyone,
I need your help on the following.
Do fire dampers (motorized) need insulation when they are installed in the supply or return line to prevent heat loss and condensation?
In the fresh air ductwork, you don't but I'm afraid that on the supply and return you might need to insulate the damper so as to prevent unwanted condensation. Am I right?
Thanks!

The sides of the damper are insulated.
The motor is not so that heat can be dissipated to the surrounding air instead of it being trapped between the motor and the duct which might lead to condensation.
I did not want for the damper to be completely exposed to surrounding air, which might also lead to condensation.
I will apply the same thing for blast dampers and other motorized dampers on the supply/return line.
Linkage/blades locking mechanism are not affected because I kept that area insulation free. Do you agree?
Thanks for your answer!
