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. As a result, the fan delivers a lower airflow at a higher static pressureFan Modulation Inlet Vanesperiod four Inlet VanesFan Modulation Fan-SpeedControlperiod four Fan-SpeedControlFan Modulation Variable-PitchBlade Controlperiod four Variable-PitchBlade ControlFan Modulation Fan Modulation Comparisonsperiod four Fan Outlet Static-PressureControl Controlling System Static PressureFan Modulation period fourFan Modulation Supply Duct Static-PressureControlperiod four sensor located 2/3 down supply ductFan Modulation Optimized Static-PressureControlperiod four sensor locatedFan Modulation Part-LoadComparisonperiod four Application Considerations period fiveperiod five Application ConsiderationsSystem-LevelVentilation period fiveApplication Considerations Application Considerations Ventilation Resetperiod five outdoor airflowMeasures to Prevent Coil Freeze-Up Freeze Protection for CoilsApplication Considerations period fiveApplication Considerations Part-LoadSpace Humidity Controlperiod five Part-LoadSpace Humidity ControlApplication Considerations Part-LoadSupply Air Temperingperiod five Direct Pressurization Control Building Pressure ControlApplication Considerations period fiveperiod five Application ConsiderationsA sensitive static-pressurecontroller directly compares the variations between the space static pressure and the outdoor reference static pressure.
