Automatic Make-up Air Damper Broan.The leader in residential ventilation. Causes of Unbalanced Air Pressure Supply ventilation systems push air into the home causing positive pressure. Conversely, when ventilation fans and range hood fans exhaust stale/polluted indoor air to the outside, negative air pressure develops unless the exhausted air is replaced by fresh outdoor air. Ironing Centers Bath Cabinets Ceiling Fans Ventilation Fans Sensing Fans Effects of Positive Air Pressure (supply systems) • Forces warm/humid air into wall cavities, resulting in potential mold/ mildew and structural issues • Unconditioned and typically uncontrolled air is pushed into the home, resulting in increased energy costs Trash Compactors Effects of Negative Air Pressure (exhaust systems) • Exhaust fans unable to work at full, rated capacity • Unconditioned and typically uncontrolled air is pulled into the home, resulting in increased energy costs • Draws hot/humid air inside, causing mold/mildew and structural damage The Broan Make-Up Air Damper used in conjunction with Broan SmartSense® and select BEST® range hoods ensures proper ventilation in the home by effectively balancing indoor air pressure only when air is being exhausted.
