# Industrial Specification: Dampers/Regulators

## 1. Technical Definition
Mechanical devices used to control, regulate, or shut off airflow within a forced air circulation system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-6895 Pa differential pressure, -40°C to 120°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **6895 Pa differential pressure causes blade deformation exceeding 2 mm, 120°C causes polymer seal degradation with 50% compression set**, Mechanism: **Bernoulli's principle differential pressure exceeding yield strength of 6061-T6 aluminum blades (276 MPa), Arrhenius equation thermal degradation of EPDM seals at 120°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.
