Abstract

Low frequency noise and turbulence are reduced in a damper structure by providing a perforate screen extension onto the damper blade so as to extend across the flow path when the damper is open. Additionally, a perforate screen is located immediately downstream of the damper and spaced from the wall so as to define a chamber therewith as well as defining a boundary of the flow path.
