Requirement
and
to

the
need
of
fluctuation
of
relief
pressure
setting.

To
keep
UL
requirement
strictly
at
negative
id
It
is
impossible
to
set
just
minus
10.5kPa
as
relief
pressure
for
venting
because
there
is
pressure
fluctuation
technically.

Then
some
realistic
range
like
positive
pressure
for
venting
will
be
necessary
