Product Description
The Aldes CAR3 Constant Airflow Regulator is a pressure
independent balancing damper that automatically regulates
airow in duct systems to constant levels. The CAR3 requires
no electric or pneumatic power or sensors, and works solely o
system pressure.
Unlike traditional manual dampers, the CAR3 compensates
for changes in duct pressure caused by stack eect, operable
windows and doors, wind, loading lters, etc. The CAR3 provides
a low-cost solution to maintaining the correct airow balance of
ventilation systems, improving system performance and indoor
air quality, which can provide significant savings on annual
operating costs.
Key Features
• Dual-side airow adjustment dial and CFM indicator allows
you to set or change the airow quickly, in supply or exhaust
applications, without removing the CAR3 from the duct.
• Modulating rotary damper automatically responds to
changes in duct pressure to maintain set ow.
• Resin is enhanced with antimicrobial, anti-static, and ame
retardant additives for increased safety and durability.

Construction
• CAR3 constructed of amorphous thermoplastic resin
enhanced with antimicrobial, anti-static, and ame retardant
additives to improve material performance, reduce need for
maintenance, and increase safety.
• CAR3 is UL 2043 safety classied and labeled for ame and
smoke generation (File No. R39897).
• Double lip gasket around the circumference ensures a tight,
no-leak t.
Maintenance
The CAR3 needs no maintenance when used in normal
conditions. The addition of antimicrobial and anti-static
additives in the material increases the longevity and reliability
of the CAR3. There is no risk of dust deposit or obstruction
because the CAR3 has no airways subject to clogging. If the
intended application includes air heavily loaded with dust or
grease, access to the CAR3 will be possible through the terminal
device or with an access panel or door.
Warranty
Guaranteed for 7 years, from date of shipment, against all
defects in material or workmanship, provided that the material
has been installed and used under normal conditions. This
warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the material.
APPLICATIONS
