Air is pressurised by the bleed air coming through the jet engines. Pressurized air is pumped into this sealed fuselage by cabin superchargers which deliver a relatively constant volume of air at all altitudes up to a designed maximum. Air is released from the fuselage by a device called an outflow valve. Since the superchargers provide a constant inflow of air to the pressurized area, the outflow valve, by regulating the air exit, is the major controlling element in the pressurization system.

Why don't the planes used by sky divers depressurize when the door is opened unlike passenger planes where it happens?
Because the planes are not pressurized. No need to pressurize an airplane flying at such a low altitude. Once a plane reaches around 12,000 feet it becomes necessary to pressurize the cabin.
Will a soda can explode in checked baggage on an airplane?
Most likely not. Airlines pressurize the cargo hold so unless your luggage gets thrown around, it shouldn't explode.
Why are airplane doors and windows completely sealed?
Modern jet airplanes fly at high altitudes, where there is less air and therefore less oxygen. Aircraft cabins are pressurized so that pilots and passengers can have enough oxygen to breathe. There is a high air pressure inside the cabin because outside air (and oxygen) is forced into the cabin by the engines in order to pressurize the inside of the airplane, and this gives people enough oxygen to breathe. This is only possible because the airplane is sealed; if the windows and doors were open, the engines wouldn't be able to pressurize the cabin.
What is the word origin of pressurize?

Does the Jeep Compass 2012 have a pressurize fuel system?
yes
Can an argon or CO2 mix be used to pressurize a keg?
Yes, it can.
How do you pressurize fuel system?
Cycle the ignition on and off several times holding it in the on position for a few seconds each time. Doing this 4-5 times will allow the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel system.
