3.1.2 Back-Draft Fan Damper—Units with EC Fans Only
The Liebert iCOM controller has the ability to operate EC fans at very low speed to effectively act as
a back-draft damper. The power used to prevent air flow from entering a standby unit from the raised
floor by spinning the fans at a low speed is much less expensive than the additional static that
conventional mechanical dampers introduce while the unit is in operation.
Mechanical Fan Dampers
No damper = Waste of efficiency, mixture of discharge and return
Increase pressure drop during unit operation
Up-front cost of mechanical dampers
Increases unit height or adds complexity under floor
EC Fan Dampers
Fans rotate at low speed to prevent air flow through unit
Adjustable, based on application
No pressure drop during unit operation
No up-front cost as with mechanical dampers
Figure 18 Energy efficiency— Air bypass through unit, no mechanical damper
Figure 19 Energy efficiency—No bypass air, EC fan damper
