    Abstract: A pressure control system includes an overboard valve in indirect communication with a first enclosed environment and in direct communication with a second enclosed environment. The first environment is suitable for human occupancy and configured to receive pressurized air from an environmental control system. The second environment is configured to receive the pressurized air from the first environment. An inboard valve is configured to supply a discharge of pressurized air from the second environment. An outflow valve is configured to regulate a discharge of air from the first environment to an area outside the first and second environments. A positive pressure relief valve configured to regulate a discharge of air from the first environment. A negative pressure relief valve configured to regulate an ingress of air into the first environment. A control valve is configured to regulator and supply pressurized air from the first environment to a compressor.

    Abstract: A system includes a manifold, a power unit, and a throttle valve. The manifold is configured to receive cabin discharge air from a cabin. The cabin discharge air includes cabin discharge air from a waste region of the cabin. The auxiliary power unit is fluidically coupled to the manifold and configured to draw cabin discharge air from the manifold. The throttle valve is configured to control flow of cabin discharge air from the manifold to the power unit. A method includes receiving a pressure measurement for the manifold and a pressure setpoint for the manifold representing a predetermined flow of cabin discharge air from the cabin to the manifold. The method includes determining and outputting, based on the pressure measurement and the pressure setpoint, a control signal for at least one manifold inlet configured to control flow of cabin discharge air from the cabin to the manifold.
