Yes. This whole exchange could have benefited from a simple diagram (numbers approximately correct for 35K feet):
| |
[cabin] | [gap] | [outside]
0.75atm | X atm | 0.23 atm
| |
If "what to make X" is your design choice, you would not want to have it always pegged at 1 atm, as it would be if it was/could be completely sealed at sea level. It's simplest to have it equalize with the cabin pressure.
- weinzierl 11y agoThe ASCII diagram is very helpful. I wish I had thought of including something like this in my original comment. Thanks a lot.
