Duct systems can also use bypass dampers and ducts to control the
amount of air flowing from the fan to the outlets. The bypass dampers
are opened when the stairtower is at the proper pressure, so that excess
air flows not into the duct system, but into the bypass duct and back to
the air inlet. See the next diagram for an example of a bypass duct
system.
