ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS OPERATION

AIR DISTRIBUTION 70 grados

The forward evaporator pulls air from the cockpit through an inlet located in
front of the copilot's rudder pedals. Air from the forward evaporator goes
into the forward plenum. A servo valve in the forward plenum controls
airflow direction.

During electric heat mode, the forward evaporator air goes through the
electric heater and ducts to the center aisle outlet. During all other modes,
the air flows primarily to the glare shield outlets. Secondary airflow goes
through the electric heat ducting to the center aisle outlet.

Bleed air from both engines flows to a tee fitting under the right cabin
seats, forward of the wing spar. The tee fitting combines the bleed air from
both engines and directs it into the intake of a Venturi connected to the
mixing box plenum. Bleed air flowing through the Venturi pulls ambient
cabin air from under the floorboards into the Venturi through a muffled air intake. The bleed air mixes with the ambient cabin air in the
Venturi to cool the air.

AIR DISTRIBUTION
abren y cierran los paquetes
A safety switch on the landing gear controls operation of the ambient air flow-modulating valve.

1. When weight is on the landing gear (left main safety/squat switch), the ambient air flow modulating valve is closed to stop
contaminants from entering the cabin.

2. When the flow control unit energizes, the bleed air modulating valve begins to close.

3. When the bleed air modulating valve closes fully, the electronic controller signals the firewall shutoff valve to open so air can
enter the cabin.

B300 Series MX 2016APR04 Page | 20 © 2016 TRU Simulation + Training, a Textron Company
Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99 All Rights Reserved.
ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

4. After the bleed air modulating valve reaches its fully closed position, it begins to cycle open. The air modulating valve
continues to open until the desired flow rate to the cabin is reached.

5. The bleed air flow transducer, the electronic controller, and the ambient air temperature sensor sets the correct flow rate.

AFTER TAKEOFF

 On takeoff the left squat switch opens the left ambient air valve. A time delay module keeps the right ambient air valve from
opening for approximately seven seconds to prevent cabin pressurization surges. As the airplane climbs higher or enters a
cooler environment, the system gradually reduces the ambient air flow and increases the bleed air flow. At approximately 0°F
ambient temperature, the ambient air flow valve closes completely and the bleed air valve bypass section opens to let more
bleed air flow around the air ejector.

 The rate of ambient air flow through the flow control valve is relative to the temperature of the air. At high temperatures, the
system minimizes the bleed air by mixing ambient air inside the control valve through an air ejector. When temperatures
decrease, the system reduces or stops the ambient air.

 An ambient air temperature sensor, adjacent to the ambient air inlet, sends temperature signals to the electronic controller.
The controller sets the correct mix of ambient and bleed air for the cabin environment.

Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99 All Rights Reserved.
ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

AFTER TAKEOFF

 The bleed air mixture passes from the flow control valves to the heat exchangers in each wing. The heat exchangers remove
heat from the bleed air mixture by passing it through an air cooled core. The cooling air for the heat exchanger core flows
from the leading edge of the wing, through the heat exchanger core, and exhausts through louvered plates on the lower side
of the wing.

 If the cabin environment needs all of the bleed air, bypass valves send the bleed air around the heat exchangers. A check
valve lets cabin pressurization and heat continue, even if one engine shuts down. The bleed air mixture moves to the mixing
plenum where recirculated cabin air mixes with the bleed air to get the correct temperature. If the mixture needs to be cooler,
the system puts cool air from the air conditioner into the mixing plenum.

AIR DISTRIBUTION

The system controller, a mixing box, and the forward plenum distribute the bleed air. Before bleed air enters the distribution ducts, it
passes through two electrical bleed air bypass valves (Left and Right). An electronic controller in the wings controls the bypass
valves:

 If the environmental system needs heat, the bypass valves open to let fully heated bleed air enter the system.

 If the system needs less heat, the bypass valves close and send the bleed air through the wing heat exchangers. The heat
exchangers reduce the temperature of the bleed air before it enters the cabin.

 Mechanical check (flapper) valves in the ducting stop back flow if the airflow direction changes.

Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99 All Rights Reserved.
ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

AIR DISTRIBUTION

The mixing box assembly directs the blended air to specific duct outlets. When less heat is necessary, the mixing box directs excess
bleed air to the aft compartment outflow valves.

 The Cockpit Heat servo valve sends warm bleed air through a muffler at the mixing box and then forward to the cockpit floor
outlets and the outlets forward of the copilot's rudder pedals.

 The Cockpit Add Heat servo valve sends warm bleed air to the forward plenum. When activated for heating, the Cockpit Add
Heat servo directs warm bleed air to the cockpit glareshield and defrost outlets. The system controller decides how much heat
is needed and positions the Cockpit Add Heat servo valve to provide full heat or partial heat.

 The Cabin Heat servo adjusts two separate air valves at the same time. The air valves are in two of the mixing box outlets:

o A bypass valve routes bleed air to the cabin aft compartment.

o The other valve routes air to the cabin sidewall outlets.

 The two valves are mechanically linked. As the servo moves, one valve closes as the other valve opens.

o When the servo is at full travel, one valve almost fully closes and the other fully opens.

o When the servo is at midpoint, both valves are partially open and the airflow to both the cabin sidewall outlets and the
aft compartment outlets reduces because both valves cannot close at the same time, bleed air always supplies
pressurization for the cabin.

ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

COOLING OPERATION

 A vapor-cycle refrigeration system provides Cabin/Cockpit air conditioning. The compressor, driven by the right engine,
operates in the AUTO or MAN COOL control modes.

 An automatic-reset dual function binary switch prevents compressor operation if refrigerant pressure is too high (above 350
PSI) or too low (30 to 35 PSI).

 The left bleed air bypass valve has a 30° position switch that opens when the valve linkage is 30 degrees (angular) from the
full cold position. In this situation, the air conditioner does not operate in the AUTO mode. In the MAN COOL mode, the air
conditioner is ON regardless of the bypass valve position.

 If the right engine speed is below 62% N1, the air conditioner does not operate, and the white AIR COND N1 Low CAS
message illuminates. The cockpit blower assembly supplies cockpit air through the forward evaporator and into the four
cockpit distribution ducts, which supply the glareshield outlets and the windshield defrost.

 Two cabin blower assemblies supply cooled cabin air through two evaporators and into ducting, which supplies the nine
eyeball outlets in the cabin headliner and the two eyeball air outlets in the cockpit headliner.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PANEL

The cabin temperature controls on the Environmental control panel manage the dual zone system. Separate controls for the cockpit
and cabin allow independent automatic (AUTO) or manual (MAN COOL or MAN HEAT) control of each environment.

In the AUTO position, the heating and air conditioning systems operate
automatically. The system adjusts blower speeds, bleed air temperature,
and compressor clutch on/off state to hold the temperature set points
selected via the TEMP knobs.

The temperature range for both temperature control potentiometers is


approximately 65°F to 85°F. The controller modulates five servo-operated
airflow valves in the bleed air heat ducting. These valves direct bleed air
into the various sections of the airplane. With little or no demand for bleed
air heat in the cabin or cockpit the valves direct most of the conditioned
bleed air aft to the baggage compartment.

Temperature sensing devices in the cockpit and cabin work with the
TEMP settings to signal the controller to make the necessary adjustments
to maintain the set point temperature. For a different blower speed, the
operator can rotate the BLOWER control out of AUTO to the desired speed.

The controller maintains the set point over time. Depending on the set point, changing from one mode to another may take as long as
120 seconds. The purpose of the slow transition is to eliminate unwanted temperature variations.

ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

MANUAL MODE

When the operator sets the MODE selector switch to the MAN HEAT position, the cockpit and cabin floor heat servos fully open. To
change the cabin and cockpit temperatures, the operator sets the MAN TEMP switch to the INCR or DECR position. When released,
the MAN TEMP switch returns to the center position. This controls the temperature of the bleed air entering the airplane by operating
the bleed air bypass valves. Bleed air temperature change is relative to the length of time the operator holds the MAN TEMP switch
up (INCR) or down (DECR).

The COCKPIT TEMP knob controls the cockpit add heat servo, which helps regulate the temperature of the glareshield and
windshields defrost outlets. The CABIN TEMP control works almost the same as the COCKPIT TEMP control: When the operator
rotates the TEMP control to full counter clockwise (CCW), the air from the cabin and cockpit overhead outlets is the coolest.

The operator can use the CABIN and COCKPIT BLOWER controls to control the amount of air coming from the outlets for air
recirculation.

When the mode selector is in MAN HEAT and the blower controls are in AUTO, the cabins blowers are OFF. The cockpit blower will
be at its lowest speed.

When the MODE selector switch is in MAN COOL, the air conditioner system operates if the speed of the right engine is above 62%
N1 and the system pressures are within the 30 to 350 PSI range of the binary pressure switch. To prevent the evaporator coils from
freezing, the blowers default to a preset minimum speed when the blower controls are in AUTO. In this mode, the TEMP setting
knobs operate the same as in MAN HEAT. The operator adjusts the CABIN and COCKPIT BLOWER settings to change the blower
speeds.

BLEED AIR CONTROLS

Two three-position switches (Left and Right) control the bleed airflow control valve (BLEED AIR VALVES-LEFT-RIGHT) for each
engine. The switch positions are:

 OPEN

 ENVIR OFF

 PNEU & ENVIR OFF

When a switch is in the OPEN position, the air mixture flows through the respective right or left environmental valve toward the cabin.
When a switch is in either the ENVIR OFF or the PNEU & ENVIR OFF position, the bleed air firewall shutoff valve is closed

Another three-position switch controls environmental bleed airflow volume (ENVIR BLEED AIR). The switch positions are:

 NORMAL

 AUTO

 LOW

The NORMAL position provides maximum airflow.

The AUTO position is the recommended setting. AUTO lets the Keith Products environmental system controller automatically select
the flow setting based on heat or cabin pressure requirements. The default flow setting is low in all environmental cases except when
the system needs additional heat or the cabin altitude reaches 10,000 feet.

When the CABIN ALTITUDE CAS message illuminates, the environmental controller detects the condition and, after a five-second
time delay, the controller switches the flow setting to NORMAL until the CAS Message extinguishes and a pre-set time-delay expires.

The LOW position reduces the bleed air from the engines for environmental purposes to approximately half the normal amount. This
position is best during operations in ambient temperatures above 10°C to make sure the takeoff power is available. When the
controller switches from LOW flow to NORMAL, the controller monitors bleed duct temperature and makes corrections to the heat
exchanger bypass valves to prevent any duct over temperatures.

ATA21 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

PRESET AND SAFETY SOLENOIDS

The preset solenoid is located forward of the flight compartment pedestal and the dump/safety solenoid is located further forward on
the copilots side in the aft fuselage.

In flight (when the left squat switch is in the airborne position), the preset solenoid (normally open) is de-energized and allows
vacuum to be applied to the controller.

The dump/safety solenoid valve (normally closed) de-energizes and shuts off direct vacuum to the safety valve, allowing the safety
valve to close. The controller then modulates vacuum to the outflow valve to relieve excess cabin pressure according to the altitude
and rate of change set on the controller.

Upon landing (with the left squat switch in the on-ground position), the preset solenoid and the dump solenoid energizes and the
cabin is allowed to depressurize through the opened dump/safety valve.

ALTITUDE LIMIT CONTROLLERS

The cabin-altitude limit controllers are absolute pressure regulators that


provide a safety override for the outflow and safety valves if the
pressurization controller fails. They are located on the right aft side of
the fuselage in the cargo compartment.
remueven el vacio y permiten que las valvulas cierren
They remove vacuum from the outflow and safety valves and allow the
valves to close and maintain pressurization if the cabin altitude should
rise above 13,500 ft. plus or minus 1500 ft.

A bellows inside the limit controller chamber controls the cabin pressure
reference and expands if cabin pressure decreases, thereby activating

PRESSURIZATION CONTROLS

The three-position cabin pressure control switch is on the pedestal. It


controls the pressurization system, PRESS, TEST, and DUMP.

With the aircraft on the ground and the control switch in the PRESS
position, the energized preset solenoid stops regulating vacuum to the
pressurization controller. The energized pressure safety solenoid shuts
off regulated vacuum control available to the safety valve. The vacuum
control is applied to the diaphragm to open the safety valve so that the
operator can set the cabin pressure altitude and the rate of change of
cabin pressure on the pressure controller.

In the TEST position, when the airplane is on the ground with the squat
switch in the simulated airborne (extended) position, the TEST position
de-energizes the preset and safety solenoids so the pressure control
system works as though the airplane were in flight.

In the DUMP position, the preset solenoid energizes (closed), shutting


off vacuum to the controller. The dump/safety solenoid energizes
(open), applying vacuum to the safety valve, allowing the safety valve to
open, depressurizing the cabin.

In the PRESS position, in flight the solenoid latch is energized to the


closed position and magnetically holds the ram air door closed. The
preset solenoid (normally open) de-energizes and allows vacuum to be
applied to the controller.

PRESSURIZATION CONTROL IN FLIGHT

In flight (when the left squat switch is in the


airborne position), the preset solenoid
(normally open) de-energizes and allows
vacuum to the controller.

The dump/safety solenoid valve (normally


closed) de-energizes and stops direct
vacuum to the safety valve, allowing the
safety valve to close. The controller then
modulates the vacuum to the outflow valve to
maintain cabin pressure according to the
altitude and rate of change set on the
controller.

A door seal solenoid de-energizes, when the


preset and safety solenoids de-energize and
the door seal valve (normally open) allows
pneumatic bleed air to pressurize the door
seal.

If atmospheric pressure exceeds cabin


pressure, a negative pressure relief
diaphragm in the outflow valve opens to
release cabin negative pressure. cerrada en vuelo abierta entierra modulando en

PRESSURIZATION CONTROL IN FLIGHT

When the operator sets the cabin pressure control switch to PRESS (pressurize) before takeoff, the energized preset solenoid stops
the regulating vacuum to the pressurization controller. The energized pressure safety solenoid opens to make vacuum control
available to the safety valve. The vacuum control lets the diaphragm in the safety valve to open so that the operator can set the cabin
pressure altitude and the rate of change of cabin pressure on the pressure controller.

On takeoff the safety switch immediately reopens the left ambient air valve. A time delay module stops the right ambient air valve
opening for approximately seven seconds after the left ambient air valve opens. This delay prevents cabin pressurization surges.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION

Several components protect the aircraft from ice and rain during inclement weather conditions:

 Electric heating elements in the windshield protect against the


formation of ice.

 Air from the cabin heating systems stops windshield fogging for
better visibility.

 Heavy-duty windshield wipers for the pilot and copilot give better
visibility during rainy flight conditions.

 Pneumatic deicer boots on the leading edge of the wings and


horizontal stabilizer break off any ice that collects. An inertial
separation system that uses a dual motor actuator gives ice
protection for the engine.

 Lights on the outboard side of each engine nacelle help the pilot
see when ice forms on the leading edge of the wing.

 Hot exhaust gases give continuous anti-icing on the leading edge lip of each engine.

 Electrothermal deice boots protect the propellers from icing. The boots cycle automatically after they start.

 Hot air from the engine (bleed air) flows through a solenoid-operated shutoff valve to a distributor manifold that directs the hot
air to the brakes for deicing.

 Engine bleed air helps defog the cabin window and cockpit side windows when one or both engines are running.

 A heating element in each pitot mast prevents the pitot opening from becoming clogged with ice.

 A 15-amp circuit breaker switch on the left inboard subpanel supplies the power for the stall warning transducer heat.

SURFACE DEICER SYSTEM

The wing and control surface deicers and vacuum systems operate with bleed air pressure supplied from the engine.

1. This air goes through a regulator valve that gives the necessary pressure to inflate the deicer boots on the leading edge of
each wing and the horizontal stabilizer.

2. If one engine fails, a check valve in the bleed air line from each engine stops air pressure from entering the inoperative
compressor.

3. The bleed air from the engine also goes through an ejector that uses the Venturi effect to produce vacuum. This vacuum
deflates the deicer boots. A distributor valve controls inflation and deflation.

SURFACE DEICER INDICATING SYSTEM- PRESSURE SWITCH

The surface deicer indicating system has


three pressure sensor switches, two relays
and electrical wiring that interface with the
Crew Advisory System (CAS). The triple-fed
bus supplies 28 VDC for the surface deicer
indicating system and SURF DEICE circuit
breaker on the right circuit breaker panel.

WING PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCHES

The wing pressure sensor switches are just


outboard of the left and right engine nacelles
and connect to the deicer boot pressure lines
with tubing.

 The left wing pressure sensor switch is


mounted with a clamp to a bracket on
the strobe power supply mounting
bracket.

 The right wing pressure sensor switch


is mounted with a clamp to a bracket
on the intercostal web.

 The horizontal stabilizer (tail) pressure sensor switch is mounted with a clamp between the left and right horizontal stabilizer
deicer boots on the centerline.

ATA30 ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

WING PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCHES

All three pressure sensor switches open when deice system pressure exceeds 14.5 +- 0.5 psi. When the surface deicer boots
receive pneumatic pressure for inflation:

1. The wing pressure sensor switches start and complete electrical circuits to energize the two relays.

2. The energized relays complete the electrical circuit to the CAS and the WING DEICE indication appears on the CAS. If one or
both of the pressure switches do not operate, a wing deice fault is possible, so the WING DEICE indication does not come on.

3. The WING DEICE indication stays on until both pressure switches move to the normally-closed position. This occurs when
the deice system pressure drops below 8 psig at each outboard wing deice boot.

4. Suction occurs after the 6-second pressurization action and ends the deice cycle. If both switches do not move to the
normally-closed position, the WING DEICE indication stays on to show that the end of the deice cycle has not occurred and
that the deice boots have not pulled down properly. This may decrease ice shedding at the next deicing attempt.

ATA30 ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER PRESSURE SENSOR INDICATING SYSTEM

When actuated, the horizontal stabilizer pressure sensor switch completes electrical circuitry directly to the CAS to illuminate the
TAIL DEICE indication. The horizontal stabilizer pressure switch actuates when the deice system pressure reaches 14.5 +- 0.5 psig
at the tee to each deice boot. When the pressure switch actuates:

1. The TAIL DEICE indication comes on. If


the pressure switch doesn't operate, a
horizontal stabilizer fault is possible, and
the TAIL DEICE indication does not come
on.

2. The TAIL DEICE indication stays on until


the pressure switch moves to the
normally-closed position. This occurs
when the deice system pressure drops
below 8 psig at the tee leading to the
horizontal stabilizer deice boots.

3. Suction occurs after the 4-second


pressurization action and ends the deice
cycle. If the pressure switch does not
move to the normally-closed position the
TAIL DEICE indication stays on. This
shows that the end of the deice cycle has
not occurred and the deice boots have not
pulled down properly. This may decrease
ice shedding at the next deicing attempt.

FOD PREVENTION

This system is also used in other conditions to prevent FOD from


entering the engine.

ENGINE ANTI-ICE OPERATION

In operation, when the forward vanes are fully extended, a position sense switch on each vane linkage sends a message to the CAS.
The appropriate indication L ENG ANTI-ICE, R ENG ANTI-ICE, or L-R ENG ANTI-ICE comes on.

When the control switches on the subpanel are activated, a second position sense switch, also located on each forward vane
linkage, energizes a 30 to 40 second time delay circuit. If the vanes have not extended fully, the L ENG ICE FAIL , R ENG ICE FAIL ,
and/or L-R ENG ICE FAIL indication comes on. This shows a fault in the primary motor of the designated actuator. To extend the
vane and extinguish the fault light, you can place the corresponding ACTUATORS switch to STANDBY position.

When the icing conditions have passed, the crew place the ANTI-ICE switches in the OFF position. This moves the actuators, returns
the vanes to non-icing position, and removes the indications from the CAS window.

AIR INTAKE ANTI-ICE LIP

The lip around each engine air inlet uses hot exhaust gases to stop ice formation during inclement weather. A scoop in the left
exhaust stack on each engine moves some of the hot exhaust gases down through a flex hose into the hollow lip around each engine
air inlet. The gases are released through the opposite exhaust stack. No shutoff or temperature indicator is necessary for this
system.

INERTIAL SEPARATION ANTI-ICE SYSTEM indicacion azul normal amarilla se esta moviendo la aleta

Utilizes a dual motor actuator. If the primary motor fails, the standby motor can activate the system.

Each engine air inlet has an inertial separation system with two electrically-actuated movable vanes. The system stops moisture
particles from entering the engine inlet plenum during freezing conditions.

In normal operation, the forward vane is up (retracted) and the aft vane is down (extended) to direct all incoming air into the engine
air plenum. In icing conditions, the forward vane moves down into the inlet airstream and the aft vane moves up. Moving these vanes
increases the speed of incoming air so that heavy ice-laden air goes overboard through the lower aft cowling, and lighter incoming air
enters the engine plenum around the trailing edge of the extended forward vane and the curved fixed vane.

An electrically-operated linear actuator moves the two vanes simultaneously through a linkage system. The electric actuator for each
engine has a primary and secondary motor with a single actuator rod assembly. The primary motor normally drives the system but
the secondary motor drives if the primary motor fails.

Switches on the left outboard subpanel, placarded ENG ANTI-ICE, LEFT-RIGHT, and ON-OFF, energize the primary actuator
motors. Another set of switches below the primary switches, placarded ACTUATORS-STANDBY-MAIN activate the secondary
system.

BRAKE DEICE SYSTEM

Heated air for the brake deice system comes from the pneumatic bleed air system. Downstream of the pneumatic bleed air shutoff
valves, the brake deice line tees off the pneumatic bleed airline in each wheel well.

Deice bleed air then flows to a solenoid-operated shutoff valve, through a flexible hose, and to the distributor manifold on the wheel
and brake assembly.

Bleed air is distributed through orifices located on the circumference of both rings of each distributor manifold.

The toggle switch placarded BRAKE DEICE controls the brake deice system.

1. When the switch is ON, electrical power flows through a 5-amp circuit breaker on the right circuit breaker panel to a control
module under the center aisle floorboard.

2. Current then flows to open the deice shutoff valve in each main landing gear wheel well, allowing hot bleed air to flow through
the distributor manifolds and deice the brakes.

3. A switch that is part of each shutoff valve then closes and completes a circuit to illuminate the appropriate CAS Advisory:

L Brake Deice On

R Brake Deice On

L-R Brake Deice On

4. A timer circuit allows the brake deice system to operate for 10 minutes after activation when the gear is retracted.

PROPELLER DEICERS ciclos de 90 segundos

The propeller electric deicer system includes an improved single heating element deicer boot for each propeller blade, slip rings,
modular brush assemblies, timer, control
switches and an ammeter.

 When the switch is in AUTO, power to


the deicer boots cycles in 90 second
phases. The first 90 second phase
heats all deicer boots on the right
propeller. The second phase heats all
the deicer boots on the left propeller.

 The deicer timer completes one full


cycle every three minutes.

 A manual propeller deicer system


serves as a back up to the automatic
system. When the MANUAL switch is
activated, power flows to all heating
elements on both props.

 The momentary MANUAL switch must


be held in place until the ice has been
dislodged from the propeller surface.

WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE

Dual level heating elements in the windshield protect against icing.

1. Two WSHLD ANTI-ICE toggle switches on the Ice Protection panel control the individual windshield heaters. The toggle
switches provide positions for OFF, NORMAL, or HI heat to the windshield.

2. The windshields also have a temperature sensor element (thermistor) that senses windshield temperature. The thermistor,
with an associated controller, raises or lowers heater power to keep the windshield temperature between 90°F and 110°F.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Heavy duty windshield wipers for both the pilot and copilot provide visibility during rainy flight conditions. A 10-amp circuit breaker
provides circuit protection. The circuit
breaker is on the circuit breaker panel on
the right side of the flight compartment.

A motor drives two converters through


flexible shafts to provide rotary power for
operating the wiper system. The motor
has an automatic reset thermoprotector
that temporarily de-energizes the motor in
the event of an overload. The wiper
system also includes radio noise filters
and a gear train to actuate a cam switch.
This automatically "parks" both wipers
when the rotary switch is turned to PARK
position.

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

Both engines supply bleed air for the pneumatic system. The bleed air flows through pneumatic lines to a common tee located in the
fuselage.
seis segundos y cuatro la cola
Bleed air is extracted from the third stage of the
engine compressor at a maximum temperature manual todas las botas
of 650°F and is cooled approximately 70°
above ambient temperature at the tee in the
fuselage due to heat transfer in the pneumatic
plumbing.

Check valves prevent reverse flow during


single engine operation. Downstream from the
tee, all bleed air passes through an 18
(plus/minus 1.5) psi regulator with a relief valve
set to operate at 21 (plus/minus 1) psi in case
of regulator failure.

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION

The regulated bleed air supplies pneumatic


pressure to the:

• Surface deicers

• Door seal

• Bleed air failure warning system

• Cabin window defrost system

The regulated bleed air also supplies the forcing flow and pressure for the vacuum ejector.

VACUUM SYSTEM

COMPONENTS

Vacuum comes from the bleed air-driven


vacuum ejector. The ejector can supply
vacuum ranging from 15 inches of Hg
protege del polvo y particvulas extranas
(Mercury) at sea level to 6 inches of Hg at
31,000 feet. The ejector supplies vacuum
for the pressurization control system and
the surface deice system at a regulated
4.3 to 5.9 inches of Hg through a regulator
valve in the nose compartment. A 99.7%
efficient 0.3 micron filter located on the
regulator provides a filtered air source.

An instrument air filter is in the nose


compartment on the upper center portion
of the forward pressure bulkhead. The
disposable air filter protects the instruments from dust and other foreign particles in the air.

For More Information

REFERENCE

Check the air filter for cleanliness at the interval specified in Chapter 05-00-00, 001 and replace it at the interval specified in Chapter
05-11-00, 201 or at shorter intervals during operation in dusty conditions. Refer to Chapters 21 and 30 for more information on the
pressurization and deice systems.

REGULATOR VALVE

The regulator valve has three basic operating components:

 A loading mechanism

 A sensing element

 A control element

These three components work together to reduce


pressure.

The Loading Mechanism finds the setting of the regulator


delivery pressure. Most regulators use a spring as the
loading mechanism. When you turn the regulator adjusting
screw clockwise, the spring compresses. The force on the
spring transfers to the sensing element and the control
element to get the outlet pressure.

The Sensing Element senses the force on the spring to set the delivery pressure. Most regulators use a metal or elastomer
diaphragm as the sensing element. The sensing element communicates the change in force to the control element.

The Control Element is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to outlet pressure. When you turn the adjusting screw clockwise the
loading mechanism compresses, which displaces the sensing element and pushes on the control element. This causes it to move
away from the regulator seat. The orifice becomes larger to allow the flow and pressure required.

ADJUSTMENT

The vacuum regulator valve is on the lower left side of the pressure bulkhead in the nose compartment.

1. Make sure that pneumatic system pressure is set


correctly.

2. Make sure the instrument and regulator filters are clean.

3. Start one engine and run it up until the gas generator


(N1) tachometer shows a reading between 70 and 80
percent.

4. Check the vacuum gauge for a reading of approximately


5.9 +0.0/ -0.2 inches of Hg. If the indication is incorrect,
unlock the retaining lock washer and loosen the
adjusting screw locknut to adjust the vacuum regulator
valve.

5. Turn the adjusting screw

o Clockwise to increase the vacuum setting

o Counterclockwise to decrease the vacuum


setting

6. When the vacuum gauge shows a reading of 5.9 inches of Hg with the engine operating within the designated range, tighten
and lock the adjusting screw locknut with the retaining lock washer. Then shut down the engine.
