Tamco is the original creator of thermally broken frame dampers, a significant innovation in the HVAC industry. All other broken frame dampers on the market are attempts to replicate Tamco’s groundbreaking design.
Thermally broken frame dampers feature a break in the frame that is filled with non-conductive materials, creating an effective barrier to heat transfer. This design significantly increases the damper’s R-value, which measures a material’s ability to resist heat flow. When considering thermal efficiency, there are multiple parameters to consider to determine suitability for an application. By increasing the R-value, these dampers provide true insulation, making them ideal for applications involving extreme temperature differentials or where condensation is a concern.
Tamco’s thermally broken frame dampers also include thermally insulated blades that help reduce or eliminate condensation. The thermal breaks along the frame offer genuine insulation, ensuring superior thermal performance.
