A word of caution - if there is a full 'open' demand on a frozen o/v, then if it unfreezes below freezing level the resultant cabin decompression can be extreme, with a large 'bang' below the rear galley(!). Result - mist in rear galley plus noise and c/c assume explosive decompression.

Happened to me a few years back. We also used packs to control cabin.
