Cy, Arzel’s Test Cycle Damper celebrates a BIG milestone
As we celebrate our test damper Cy’s 20,000,000th cycle, we can’t help but reflect on nearly 40 years in the Zoning manufacturing industry, and how grateful we are for the continued support and collaboration within the HVAC industry as a whole.
One of the most frequently asked questions we get is, why pneumatic?
The results speak for themselves.
It doesn’t seem so long ago when Cy hit 10 Million cycles in 2012, representing over 1000 years of real-life zoning operation (Avg. 10,000 cycles per year). Just this past week, Cy surpassed 20 Million cycles, resembling over 2000 years of operation!
Pneumatic dampers are not only unsurpassed in reliability, but they also guarantee a noise-free operation as no motors or gears are used for damper articulation. Arzel Zoning Contractors can utilize up to 35 dampers, and mix and match any style to achieve the desired result, with no ductwork modification needed.
Additionally, our unique internal mount damper designs give contractors the ability to add zoning to homes that couldn’t previously be zoned with concrete slab or inaccessible ductwork, to name a few.

With the 20,000,000th cycle under Cy’s belt and no signs of slowing down, we continue to look forward to watching Cy break its cycling records for years to come. Are you still asking, why pneumatic? We hope you ask no more.

Summer is here, and with that comes a rush of service calls; in that rush, as technicians, we often skip the basics of air conditioning performance, starting with proper airflow. Air conditioning requires proper airflow and proper airflow changes with static pressure. The Total External Static Pressure (TESP) corresponds to blower performance data charts. For […]
As an HVAC contractor, correctly sizing the furnace and air conditioner for your client’s home or business is essential. Accurate load calculations prevent the risks associated with oversized or undersized systems, such as increased energy costs, reduced efficiency, and premature equipment failure. Load calculations, or “Manual J” for residential and light commercial applications, consider factors […]
