<p>A damper for an air flow system opening, such as the air inlet of a clean room filter module, includes a number of control plates (14, 15) reciprocally mounted on holding elements (22) and a drive element (24, 36) supported from a supporting surface (20) with an airflow opening (21) therein. Gaskets (30, 31) seal around apertures (16, 18) and the airflow opening to allow more accurate and positive control and diffusion, as well as virtually complete shut off, of airflow through the opening. A tool (42) is used to rotate a threaded end (34) of the drive element rotatably held in an opening in a beam (40) by holders (38). The threaded end of the drive element cooperates with an internally threaded opening in a non-round-shaped traveler (36) passing through matching non-round openings in the control plates.</p> |
