The ZoneFirst BPEK Bypass Eliminator is a device that increases the efficiency and control of HVAC systems. It does away with the requirement for a conventional bypass duct and damper, which are parts of the system used to control pressure. The BPEK operates by keeping an eye on the static pressure in the system and modifying the zone damper's opening and closing in response. As a result, airflow to certain zones can be precisely controlled without losing energy through a bypass. The BPEK works with ZoneFirst's plug-in zone dampers and control panels. It can run up to ten dampers per zone and features an LCD that shows which zones are open or closed.
What maintenance is required for the ZoneFirst BPEK By-Pass Eliminator?
Inspect the unit periodically for proper airflow and secure installation within the duct system. Check for obstructions or debris that could affect performance. Maintaining clear airflow ensures efficient system operation. Always turn off HVAC power before inspecting or adjusting components for safety.
What are common issues with the ZoneFirst BPEK By-Pass Eliminator?
Incorrect static pressure readings due to blocked or disconnected pressure tubing.
Dampers not responding properly to control signals.
The LCD display not showing zone status or configuration errors.
Inconsistent pressure balancing causing uneven airflow between zone.
Installation Steps
Step1: Shut off system power and close relevant valves before starting.
Step2: Relieve system pressure and drain as needed to access the installation point.
Step3: Remove the existing by-pass or plug and prepare the ports.
Step4: Install the bypass eliminator in place and tighten fittings securely.
Step5: Restore valves, refill, bleed air, restore power, and test for leaks.
