ASHRAE Guideline 16 provides the basis for selecting and sizing control dampers (outdoor, return, and relief) commonly found in constant-air-volume (CAV) and variable-air-volume (VAV) air-handling units (AHU) and systems with air-side economizers.The 2022 revision of Guideline 16 updates references and corrects minor errata.

5. DAMPER SELECTION RATIONALE
5.1 Arrangement 1 (Figure 1). The relief damper (D-1) is generally the duct or relief louver size. In this case, the a-value is high (5 to 10 range). In order to achieve a linear response, it is necessary to use an opposed-blade damper (Figure 6). A …
5.2 Arrangement 2 (Figure 2) and Arrangement 3 (Figure 3). The return-air damper (D-2) and the economizer outdoor-air damper (D-3) are selected to be parallel-blade dampers so that there is little or no change in pressure drop across the mixing box w…
