Abstract: An oxygen pressure relief and ventilation system includes a flow fuse fluidly coupled downstream of a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator is operatively coupled to an oxygen tank, and the oxygen tank is located in an unpressurized compartment of an aircraft. A pressure relief valve is fluidly coupled downstream of the flow fuse. A ventilation pathway fluidly couples the unpressurized compartment with a pressurized compartment. The flow fuse and the pressure relief valve are configured to cooperatively mitigate downstream flow of pressurized oxygen if the pressure regulator fails. The ventilation pathway is configured to allow air from the pressurized compartment to pass through to the unpressurized compartment for diluting a concentrated oxygen in the unpressurized compartment.
