The Barometric Zone Damper works like any standard damper with one exception - it has a built-in static pressure relief mechanism that eliminates the need for a bypass damper. Unlike a standard zone damper, the BZD has been designed with a blade that is controlled by an actuator and that will respond to high static pressure.
Tests indicate that bleeding a small amount of conditioned air for a short period of time to the zones(s) that are not calling has little impact on the temperature in the zone(s).
