21 - AIR CONDITIONING 21-26-00 AVIONICS VENTILATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

CONTENTS: General Open Circuit Configuration Closed Circuit Configuration Partially Open Circuit Configuration Self Examination GENERAL The system is automatically controlled by the Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer and no crew action is required. The Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer (AEVC) will change the system configuration depending on whether the aircraft is on ground or in flight and on aircraft skin temperature. Note that the BLOWER and EXTRACT pushbuttons must be in AUTO position. OPEN CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION In OPEN CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION, ambient air, drawn through the skin air inlet valve by the blower fan, is blown into the system. The air, after cooling avionics equipment, is drawn by the extract fan directly overboard. The OPEN CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION allows avionics equipment to be cooled with ambient air under certain conditions (on ground and skin temperature above 11C (51.8F) increasing, or above 4C (39.2F) decreasing). Note: the skin air inlet and outlet valves are fully open. CLOSED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION In CLOSED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION, the extracted avionics equipment air goes, through the skin exchanger isolation valve, into the skin heat exchanger to be cooled. then this air is blown into the avionics equipment again. When the AEVC detects airflow higher than the requested value, part of the hot air is bled under the cargo compartment floor by means of opening of the skin exchanger inlet ByPass Valve. the skin exchanger outlet ByPass Valve opens in order to decrease the noise level in the avionics bay. PARTIALLY OPEN CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION In PARTIALLY OPEN CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION, the system is almost like in closed configuration, part of the extracted air is expelled overboard. Note that the skin air outlet valve is an electrically operated single flap with a smaller flap built into it. This smaller flap is opened in flight (or on ground with take-off power selected) when the skin temperature is above 34C (93.2F). It returns to the closed position when the skin temperature decreases below 27C (80.6F). SELF EXAMINATION When does the skin exchanger inlet bypass valve open? A - In open circuit configuration. B - In partially open circuit configuration, or in closed circuit configuration with airflow higher than the requested value. C - When the ambient avionics bay temperature is above 34C (93.2F).

When does the skin heat exchanger operate on the ground? A - When the circuit operates in open circuit configuration. B - In closed circuit configuration when the skin temperature is below 11C (51.8F) (skin temperature increasing). C - In closed circuit configuration when the skin temperature is above 11C (51.8F) (skin temperature increasing).

AVIONICS VENTILATION - SYSTEM INTERFACES

LANDING GEAR CONTROL INTERFACE UNIT (LGCIU) The Landing Gear Control Interface Unit 1 and 2 send a signal to the avionics controller for ventilation system control. Signal: Ground/flight, used for system control. ENGINE INTERFACE UNIT (EIU) The Engine Interface Unit 1 and 2 send the "take-off thrust on" signal to the avionics controller for ventilation system control. Signal: Thrust lever set to take off and N2 above idle, used for system control. CENTRALIZED FAULT DISPLAY INTERFACE UNIT (CFDIU) The avionics controller sends BITE data to the Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit via ARINC bus. Test of the system is performed by sending a test demand discrete signal to the controller. Signals: BITE data via ARINC bus and MCDU test demand via discrete, used for avionics equipment ventilation system monitoring. SKIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR The skin temperature sensor signals the skin temperature to the computer for configuration control. Signal: Skin temperature, used for configuration control. BLOWING PRESSURE SWITCHES AND DUCT TEMPERATURE SENSOR The blowing pressure switches and the duct temperature sensor signal a low flow and a high duct temperature to the controller, to both System Data Acquisition Concentrators and to the BLOWER pushbutton. On the ground, the ADIRU & AVNCS VENT light illuminates amber on the external power receptacle 108VU accompanied by the horn activation. Signal: Low pressure delta P = 0.025 psi (1,73 hPa) or high duct temperature temp = 62oC (144oF), used for fault and ventilation ground warnings located on external power receptacle 108VU. EXTRACT PRESSURE SWITCH The extract pressure switch signals a low flow to the controller, to both SDACs and to the EXTRACT pushbutton. On the ground, the ADIRU & AVNCS VENT light illuminates amber on the external power receptacle 108VU accompanied by the horn activation.

SKIN AIR VALVES / SDAC The skin air valves position signals are sent to both SDACs for system display and for skin valve fault warning. Signal: Skin valve position feedback, used for system display and valve position disagree warning in flight (SKIN VALVE FAULT). CONTROLLER (AEVC) / SDAC The avionics controller monitors the skin air valves position, the conditioned air inlet valve and the exchanger inlet bypass valve position. In case of valve position disagree or loss of power supply of the controller, the controller sends an avionics system fault signal to both SDACs. Signal: Avionics system fault, used for valve position disagree warning on ground (except the skin exchanger outlet bypass valve) or loss of power supply of the Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer. SMOKE DETECTOR The smoke detector signals smoke to the controller, to both SDACs, to both VENT pushbuttons and to GEN 1 LINE pushbutton. Signal: Smoke detected, used for smoke warning.
