| + | * In "Outward mode" (switch in blue), the active vent increases the external pressure by moving gas from the pipe network to the surrounding atmosphere, up to "PressureExternal", by default equal to 101 kPa | ||

| − | + | The "PressureExternal" value is set to 100 kPa when the [[Circuitboard (Airlock Control)|Circuitboard (Airlock Control)]] is used in a [[console|Console]]. This is the reason why the airlock is unable to pressurise when the atmosphere surrounding the active vent is unable to reach 100 kPa within the airlock. | |

The "PressureExternal" values can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa. Manually-operated airlocks can not equalise the pressure within the airlock during the exit cycle to the Loulan atmosphere pressures. Without equal pressures you can not prevent wind currents from occurring when opening airlock doors. The active vent has no effect when the external pressure within the airlock surrounding the active vent is already >101kPa. When the pressure is <101kPa the vent will stop when it reaches 101kPa. | The "PressureExternal" values can also be inconvenient on worlds like Loulan whose atmosphere is well above 101kPa.
