damper valve
A butterfly-type valve in an air duct. This valve is a round plate mounted on a shaft sticking through the duct. When the damper is open, it is parallel with the duct, and the air flows around it. When it is closed, the valve plate is almost perpendicular to the duct, and no air can flow past it.
