Application: Tag: Project: Location: Date: Engineer: Contractor: Architect: Submitted by: The ABV Automatic maintains a constant airflow volume in HVAC applications. The highly engineered damper blade is calibrated to automatically adjust to varying pressures using physics, not electricity, making the ABV truly pressure independent. R38089 The ABV can be used in any HVAC application where a precise volume of air (CFM) is required regardless of varying static pressures. The ABV can be used in both supply and exhaust applications.
