Exhaust and Relief Valves (CERV) open at what differential pressure to relieve turbine exhaust to the Auxiliary Exhaust System?

Explanation:
Exhaust and relief valves respond to the difference in pressure across them. When the turbine exhaust side is higher than the Auxiliary Exhaust System side by about 2 psi, the valve opens to relieve the turbine exhaust by routing gas into the Auxiliary Exhaust System. The 2 psi set point is chosen so the valve stays closed during normal operation but opens quickly enough to protect the turbine exhaust components from overpressure. Once the differential drops below 2 psi, the valve closes again.
