What type of HVAC system is characterized by having control dampers in locations other than the outside air supply, outside air exhaust, and recirculation damper applications?

Correct Answer: Option D — A variable air volume system

Variable air volume systems regulate airflow dynamically through zone-level control dampers located in distribution ductwork, unlike constant volume systems. This method modulates air quantity rather than supply temperature to meet changing thermal loads across shipboard accommodations.
