The 737NG APU pneumatic supply pressure will read 15-18 psi when the bleed valve is opened, and prior to selecting a service, i.e. aircon pack, engine starter.

And yes, the NG APU employs a seperate compressor, thats why Boeing recommends operating both packs on the ground, its more economical with fuel!

This is my understanding of the system.
