Abstract: A device in which a pressure protection flap 3 is provided in an inflow or outflow opening 2, which pressure protection flap 3 can be opened and closed by means of a control device which comprises a pressure measuring device 8 and a computer 5 and outputs an opening and closing instruction when two pressure values exceed a predetermined difference value. Here, a device is aimed at which both determines the triggering pressure difference value from two measured pressure values and is also independent of the follow-on behaviour of the internal pressure after the external pressure. This is achieved in that the difference value which triggers the opening or closing instruction is a measured 8 pressure gradient which is the difference between two pressure values which are measured at different times with respect to the same measurement point 9 of the rail vehicle. The invention provides a pressure limitation with pressure protection flaps in inflow openings and outflow openings which are closed or opened as a function of the pressure gradient which is measured inside the vehicle or at its external wall. <IMAGE>
