Damper CW and CCW

In the context of mechanical systems like HVAC or airflow control, CW (clockwise) and CCW (counterclockwise) often refer to the direction of rotation for a damper.

- **CW (Clockwise):** Turning the damper in a clockwise direction typically means closing or reducing the airflow. This action restricts or shuts off the passage for air or fluid flow through the system.

- **CCW (Counterclockwise):** Conversely, rotating the damper counterclockwise often means opening or increasing the airflow. It allows more air or fluid to pass through the system by adjusting the damper's position accordingly.

The specific functionality of a damper (whether it's a manual or motorized damper, its purpose within the system, etc.) can influence the effect of turning it CW or CCW. Always refer to the system's documentation or labels to ensure you're adjusting the damper in the intended direction for the desired effect on airflow or fluid flow.
