The air conditioning system consists of a bleed air system from each engine, two
Flow Control Shut-off Valve's (FCSOV), one Pack Flow Control Shut-off Valve, one
integrated pack containing two Air Cycle Machines, two turbine and two Bypass
Shut-off Valve's, the air distribution system, the air recirculation system, the cockpit
control panel and the ECS Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU has two
channels, the left channel and the right channel. Each channel has a digital
(automatic) part and an analog (manual) part

2. The air conditioning system receives bleed air when the BLEED switches on the
AIR CONDITIONING control panel are selected ON, or the BLEED AIR switchlight
on the APU CONTROL panel are selected ON. The system is controlled by selecting
the CABIN and FLIGHT COMPARTMENT PACKS switches to the MAN or AUTO
positions, and then adjusting the temperature using the TEMPERATURE CONTROL
knobs.

3. During normal operation, when both engines are operating and both supplying
bleed air, the ECU keeps the pack flow control and shutoff valve fully open. The
ECU regulates the nacelle shutoff valves in the bleed air system to control the flow
of bleed air. If the left or right side of the bleed air system is turned off the ECU
regulates bleed airflow with the pack flow control and shutoff valve. The ECU also
regulates bleed airflow with the pack flow control and shutoff valve if the APU is
supplying the bleed air.

4. Both digital channels of the ECU share control of the pack flow control shutoff
valve. During flight, only one digital channel gets full control of the pack flow control
shutoff valve. But if the digital channel in control loses electrical power or fails, the
other digital channel takes control of the pack flow control shutoff valve while the
Turbine shutoff valve and bypass shutoff valve will revert to the associated analog
control.

5. The OFF selection for both packs closes the Pack Shut-off Valve, the bypass
Shut-off Valve's and TURBINE Shut-off Valve's through the digital or analog
channels of the ECU. When selecting one pack to MANUAL or AUTO only one pack
will be operational and the system will run at reduced flow. The ECU will open the
Pack Shut-off Valve, one Turbine Shut-off Valve and opens both Pack Bypass Shut-
off Valve's and the recirculation fan will run at low speed. Selecting both packs to
MAN or AUTO the system will operate at full performance depending on flow
selections and environmental conditions and the recirculation fan will run at high
speed.

6. The recirculation fan, draws cabin air through the recirculation filter and is mixed
with pack conditioned air. The recirculation fan switch on the AIR CONDITIONING
control panel controls the on/off operation of the recirculation fan independent of the
ECU. When the switch is selected to the RECIRCULATION position, the fan starts at
low speed and then switches to high speed or remains at low speed if one pack is
turned off.
