=. Piper PA-31T2 Reference Manual The hotair bypass valve, located in the bleed air duct upstream of the primary heat exchanger, controls the amount of regulated bleed air permitted to bypass the air cycle process. The mixing mutt feceives air flow from the turbine outlet and hot air bypass valve, and the air mixture is routed through the conditioned air discharge tube to the water separator. The water separator utilizes a condenser to extract moisture from the conditioned air. Any water collected through conden- sation is drawn through a drain hose, by venturi effect, to a nozzle located in the ram air plenum forward of the heat ex- changers. The venturi effect is created by bleed air which is tapped from the duct immediately downstream of the second- ary heat exchanger to a port located adjacent to the nozzle. The water sprayed from the nozzle increases the cooling offi- ciency of the heat exchangers. From the water separator, the conditioned air is delivered to the air distribution box. ECS Bypass The ECS bypass valve functions to minimize bleed air require: ments for heating and cooling while maintaining cabin pressur- ization, primarily during single engine operation. The valve is operated manu- ally by the ECS REG BY PASS switch, located to the left of the copliot’s control column, or automatically through the propeller control levers. When the switch is set to “ON" or when cither propeller contol lever is moved to *FEATHER,” the bypass valve will open, the pressure regulator/shutoff valve will close, and the [ECS REG BYPASS] annunciator will illuminate, The bypass airflow is routed to a jet pump as- sembly which draws ambient air into a mixing valve to supple- ment the reduced bleed air flow. ‘4 ECS REG BYPASS SWITCH Note: Bleed air overpressure or compressor discharge overtemperature conditions, indicated only by slow loss or fluctuation of cabin pressure, require manual activation of the ECS bypass vaive.
