I am working on a server room that is having pressure relief issues. This room is served by (3)25 ton rtus and (4)5 ton bard units. Ther is very little relief on the equipment. I am looking at installing (3) motorized dampers with backdraft dampers and pressure diferintal switches in each of the horzontal return air ducts back to the 25 ton units to relieve the excess pressure. Will this work?

Do you mean you have excess pressure on the room, and you are having problems opening doors?
Look at your inlet air on the RTUs and see what the settings are. You may be dumping more fresh air in than you need.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
 
Apologies, the above response was intended for another post. Ronh53, a "server room with pressure relief issues" and your proposed remedy might require clarification...
