TED50
THERMALLY EFFICIENT, INSULATED BLADE DAMPER
APPLICATION
Ruskin model TED50 is a low leak, thermally efficient damper with
insulated extruded aluminum blades specially designed for reliable
performance in climates prone to heavy condensation. Each blade
has a thermal break that is strategically placed between twin blade
edge seals. The twin seals create a neutral zone to ensure there is
no thermal path. This feature eliminates thermal transfer and reduces
potential for condensation. TED50 satisfies the leakage requirements
of the IECC (International Energy Conservation Code).

this configuration, entrance losses
are minimized by a straight duct run
upstream of the damper.

Ruskin Company certifies that model TED50 shown herein is licensed to bear the AMCA seal. The
AMCA Certified Ratings Seal applies to Air Leakage, Air Performance and Energy Efficiency ratings.
The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA publication
511 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.
AMCA figure 5.5 was established to
represent a damper installed on a
plenum wall. Sudden area changes
entering and exiting the damper create extreme losses, making this the
highest pressure drop of the three
configurations tested.
LEAKAGE data
Leakage testing is performed in accordance with ANSI/AMCA
Standard 500-D, figure 5.5
Air performance testing is performed in accordance with ANSI/
AMCA Standard 500-D, figures 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5
Data are based on a closing torque of 7 inch pounds /ft2
(.79 N.m./m2) and operation between 32°-120°F (0°-49°C).

Certified Ratings Seal applies to Air Leakage, Air Performance and Energy Efficiency ratings. The ratings
shown are based on tests and procedures performed
in accordance with AMCA publication 511 and comply

- 3 cfm/ft2 (.92 cmm/m2) @ 1" wg (0.25 kPa)
Leakage Class 1
- 4 cfm/ft2 (1.22 cmm/m2) @ 1" wg (0.25 kPa)
- 8 cfm/ft2 (2.44 cmm/m2) @ 4" wg (1 kPa)
- 11 cfm/ft2 (3.35 cmm/m2) @ 8" wg (2 kPa)
energy efficiency performance data
Ruskin model TED50 has an AMCA certified Thermal Efficiency Ratio of 345%
Thermal Efficiency Ratio (E) is a comparison of a tested damper's thermal performance against a known
reference damper. A tested damper is compared to the thermal performance of a v-groove blade reference damper. A damper with the same thermal efficiency as the reference damper would have an E value
of 0%, while a damper that is four times as efficient would have an E value of 200%.
Torque, seal material, blade action, and flow direction influence thermal efficiency. Consult Ruskin for
additional test data for specific application.
Torque
Ruskin model TED50 data are based on a closing torque of 7 inch pounds/ft2 (.80 N.m./m2).
Test Setup Information
In accordance with AMCA 500-D figure 5.10, Thermal Efficiency Test, a 36" x 36" (914 x 914) test sample
is placed on the test fixture. Manufacturer's published torque is applied to hold the damper closed.
SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION
Furnish and install, where shown on plans and/or as indicated in schedules thermally efficient control dampers meeting the following minimum
specifications.
Damper shall be Ruskin TED50. Damper frame shall be constructed of 6063T6 high yield extruded aluminum with a minimum wall thickness of
.125" (3) and a yield stress of no less than 30,000psi. Low pressure drop aerodynamically shaped blades shall be constructed of 6063T6 high yield
extruded aluminum with a minimum wall thickness of .125" (3) and a yield stress of no less than 30,000psi. Blades shall be filled with Polyurethane
structural foam with a minimum density of 15 pcf. Insulated blades shall include a thermal break positioned between two blade seals to completely
eliminate a thermal path from one side of the damper to the other. Thermal breaks on the blade edges shall not be visible when the damper is in the
closed position. Damper assembly shall have a symmetrical design to ensure the resistance to airflow is identical from either direction. Axles shall
be 1/2" (13) hexagonal plated steel material. Stainless steel axles shall be utilized when noted on the plans. Polycarbonate bearings shall be formed
to the shape of the axle to reduce leakage through the frame. Bearings shall rotate inside an Acetyl Copolymer outer bearing surface to reduce
torque and promote a smooth operation throughout the stroke of the damper. Zero tolerance Swedgelock™ linkage arms shall be permanently and
mechanically secured to each axle, eliminating future need for field adjustment of the linkage assembly. Linkage assembly shall be set to predetermined parameters ensuring leakage performance for the life of the product. Linkage shall be completely concealed within the damper frame, out
of the airstream. Stainless steel linkage of the same design shall be used when specified on the plans. Blade edge seals shall be extruded bulb
Ruskiprene™ and shall be mechanically fastened to the blades. Jamb seals shall be low profile, light prohibiting, extruded Ruskiprene™ secured in
extruded pockets of the damper frame. Stainless steel jamb seals creating a thermal path from one side of the blade to the other are not permitted.
Damper shall be suitable for pressures up to 8 inches water gage (2kPa), velocities up to 4,000 fpm (20.3 m/s), standard air leakage of less than 8
cfm/ft2 at 4 inches water gage (2.44 cmm/m2 at 1 kPa), temperature range of -45°F to 185°F (-43°C to 85°C) and a thermal efficiency ratio no less
than 345% on opposed blade dampers. All performance data shall be submitted to engineer of record for approval. Damper leakage, performance,
and thermal efficiency shall be developed in accordance with the latest edition of AMCA 500-D. Damper shall be licensed to bear the AMCA certified
ratings seal for Class 1A Performance.
