A damper is a device that is used to control the flow of air or gas in a system. It is typically used to regulate the pressure, temperature, and flow of air or gas in a system. It is also used to reduce noise and vibration in a system. The most common type of damper is the air damper, which is used to control the flow of air in a system. The air damper is usually installed in the ductwork of a system and is designed to open and close based on the pressure of the air in the system. Other types of dampers include mechanical dampers, which are used to control the flow of fluids, and hydraulic dampers, which are used to control the flow of liquids. Dampers are an important part of any system and are used to ensure that the system is running efficiently and safely.
