Instarting up a new plant, the system should be put in proper balanceby a suitable adjustment of these dampers; and, when once adjusted,they should be marked, and left in these positions. The temperatureof the rooms should never be regulated by closing the inlet should never be touched unless the room is to be unused fora day or more.
