Milestone
Whenever the overpressure relief valve engages, the excess gas should be vented out of the ventilator, so as to avoid a fire hazard in case of operation with concentrated oxygen (see #656). Currently (as of v0.3 design) the oxygen sensor and oxygen relief valve manifold is a single piece. A barbed fitting may be installed into the overpressure valve, but then tubing must run out of the ventilator housing.
The tube could run to either:
Depending on where this output tube is routed, the design of the manifold may have to change.
Very likely the task will consist of the following sub-tasks:
