REPLENISHING, AIR CYCLE MACHINE (ACM) − SERVICING

1. General
A. The procedures that follow are for the servicing of the air cycle machine (ACM). There
are two ACMs in the air conditioning system. They are installed on each ACM support in
the aft equipment compartment.
B. The first task contains the maintenance procedure to service the oil level. The second
task contains the maintenance procedure for the draining and replenishing of the ACM.
C. Use Exxon 2380 to do the servicing of the ACM. If Exxon 2380 is not available, use an
alternative oil approved to the same specification from the list that follows:
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ALTERNATIVE OILS
−10 to 120 °F (−23.3 to 48.8 °C) MIL−PRF−23699
−60 to 32 °F (−60 to 0 °C) MIL−PRF−7808

NOTE: Lubricating oils that you use to do the servicing of the ACM are classified as
follows:
– STD (Standard, Non−Corrosion Inhibiting)
– C/I (Corrosion Inhibiting)
– HTS (High Thermal Stability)
These oils are fully interchangeable and can be mixed together in the same
ACM. C/I oils give increased corrosion protection to the bearings and
components. HTS oils give decreased contamination and added protection at
high temperatures. If you mix these different types of oil, their qualities are
decreased to the STD type.

Refer to Figure 301.
WARNING: USE APPROVED SAFETY GOGGLES AND INSULATED GLOVES WHEN
YOU FILL OR DRAIN THE ACM OIL SYSTEM. HOT OIL CAN COME OUT
OF THE OIL DRAIN PLUGS WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED. HOT OIL CAN
CAUSE INJURIES TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: LUBRICATING OIL

CAUTION: ADD OIL THAT IS APPROVED TO THE SAME SPECIFICATION AS THE OIL
IN THE COMPONENT. IF YOU MIX OILS APPROVED TO DIFFERENT
SPECIFICATIONS, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENT.
CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE FLUIDS TOUCH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND
WIRES WHILE SERVICING OR REPAIRING OIL SYSTEMS. THE FLUIDS
CAN DAMAGE THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND WIRES.
A. Examine the oil level of the ACM through the sight plug (1).
