A pressure control system for a sealed enclosure may include opposing
one-way valves to limit the differential pressure between the atmospheres
internal and external to the sealed enclosure. The pressure control
system may allow the internal atmosphere to vent out of a first one-way
valve if the internal pressure exceeds the external pressure by a first
predetermined pressure. The pressure control system may allow the
external atmosphere to be drawn in through a second one-way valve if the
external pressure exceeds the internal pressure by a second predetermined
pressure. By allowing the exchange of gasses only when the differential
pressure falls outside of a predetermined range, overall contamination
may be reduced. By reducing the ingress of contaminants, such as dust,
water, smog, and outgassed substances, performance may be improved and
service life of components housed within the sealed enclosure may be
extended.
