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 pressureInlet Vanes Fan Modulationperiod four Inlet VanesFan-SpeedControl Fan Modulationperiod four Fan-SpeedControlVariable-PitchBlade Control Fan Modulationperiod four Variable-PitchBlade ControlFan Modulation Fan Modulation Comparisonsperiod four Controlling System Static Pressure Fan Outlet Static-PressureControlFan Modulation period fourSupply Duct Static-PressureControl Fan Modulationperiod four sensor located 2/3 down supply ductOptimized Static-PressureControl Fan Modulationperiod four sensor locatedFan Modulation Part-LoadComparisonperiod four period five Application Considerationsperiod five Application ConsiderationsSystem-LevelVentilation period fiveApplication Considerations Ventilation Reset Application Considerationsperiod five outdoor airflowFreeze Protection for Coils Measures to Prevent Coil Freeze-UpApplication Considerations period fivePart-LoadSpace Humidity Control Application Considerationsperiod five Part-LoadSpace Humidity ControlApplication Considerations Part-LoadSupply Air Temperingperiod five Building Pressure Control Direct Pressurization 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. The controller modulates the capacity of a central relief fan to maintain a fixed static-pressuredifference, usually a slightly positive building pressure.
