    On a forced warm air system with zones I need some ideas for getting rid of the excess air when one zone is calling for heat or cooling. so the evap coil doesnt ice up and so the heat exchanger doesnt get cooled down to much.

    New or existing system?Normally there should be a "pressure relief damper/duct"arrangement setup,to protect the heat exchanger,and compressor.What do you have?

    It is exsiting. There is nothing. The Evaporator coil keeps frezzing. I have seen dump zones before were the air is just dumped in the basement any other ideas

    What brand controls/dampers are you using?

    The lines I install have an option called different names, but basically they are limit switches with a high and low limit. It's not entirely a final word, proper ducting is the best way. Installing a bypass damper with the limit is about the best way.

    On most zone systems

    There should be a bypass damper, either barometric or pressure activated to bypass the supply into the return. Along with that there should be a SAT supply air t-stat to cut out the cycle and initiate a time delay so problems do not occur. More info needed on current zone control panel. If you can take a pic, that would be nice...
