A sensitive static-pressure controller directly compares the variations between the space static pressure and the outdoor reference static pressure. The controller modulates the capacity of a central relief fan to maintain a fixed static-pressure difference, usually a slightly positive building pressure. The space static-pressure sensor is typically located in the lobby or near the main entrance.

The fan begins to “ride up” the constant-speedperformance curve, from the design operating point A, trying to reach the balance point with this new system resistance curve.
