A damper assembly for a transport unit that defines a space and that includes a refrigeration system. The damper assembly includes a housing that is coupled to the transport unit, and that has an inlet and an outlet in communication with the conditioned space. The damper assembly also includes a blower assembly that is in communication with the inlet and the outlet, and that has a rotatable blower member that is configured to generate an airflow from the inlet toward the outlet. An airfoil-shaped damper blade is pivotally coupled to the housing about an axis offset from a center of the damper blade, and is positioned adjacent and in close proximity to the blower member, and is further positioned between the blower assembly and the outlet. The damper blade is pivotable about the axis between an open position and a closed position to selectively direct the airflow through the outlet. |
