01. Understanding of layout and components of pressurizing
system .
1. Safety Precaution:
1. Refer manufacturer manual before working.
2. Outflow valve is always open on the ground.
3. Cabin altitude is never more than aircraft altitude.
4. Differential pressure should be within limit.
3. Task Details:
Understanding of layout of pressurization system.
Understanding of components of pressurization system.
4. Procedure:
PRESSURIZATION TERMS :
1. Cabin altitude - given the air pressure inside the cabin, the altitude on a standard day that has the
same pressure as that in the cabin. Rather than saying the pressure inside the cabin is 10.92 psi, it can
be said that the cabin altitude is 8 000 feet (MSL).
2. Cabin differential pressure - the difference between the air pressure inside the cabin and the air
pressure outside the cabin. Cabin pressure (psi) - ambient pressure (psi) = cabin differential pressure
(psid or ? psi).
3. Cabin rate of climb - the rate of change of air pressure inside the cabin, expressed in feet per minute
(fpm) of cabin altitude change.
PRESSURIZING SYSTEM :
1. Pressurizing an aircraft cabin assists in making flight possible in the hostile environment of the upper
atmosphere.
2. The degree of pressurization and the operating altitude of any aircraft are limited by critical design
factors.
3. A cabin pressurization system must accomplish several functions if it is to ensure adequate passenger
comfort and safety.
4. It must be capable of maintaining a cabin pressure altitude of approximately 8 000 feet or lower
regardless of the cruising altitude of the aircraft.
5. This is to ensure that passengers and crew have enough oxygen present at sufficient pressure to
facilitate full blood saturation.
6. A pressurization system must also be designed to prevent rapid changes of cabin pressure, which can
be uncomfortable or injurious to passengers and crew.
