FCSOV — FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION


Pack Switch Off
When the pack switch is in the OFF position, 28v dc (battery bus) energizes
the close coil of solenoid C. With the close coil energized, the flow control and
shutoff valve can not receive pressurized air to operate the actuator and open
the valve.
Pack Switch AUTO
When the pack switch is in the AUTO position, 28v dc energizes the open coil
of solenoid C. Solenoid C opens and lets air pressure go to the actuator to
open the valve. This also opens the closed switch in the valve. Solenoid B en-
ergizes through the deenergized contact of the left low flow relay and the pack
switch. The pack will operate in normal flow mode-cabin pressure will bias the
flow rate of the auto flow servo to control the flow rate automatically.
The right low flow mode relay energizes when all of these conditions are true:
 Airplane in the air
 Flaps are up
 Left pack valve is closed.
This will cause the right flow control and shutoff valve to operate in high flow
mode. The operation is the same for the left flow control and shutoff valve if the
right valve closes in flight with the flaps up.
Pack Switch HIGH
When the switch is in the HIGH position, the pack will operate in high flow
mode. This will deenergize solenoid B. The deenergized solenoid B will let air
flow to the APU/high flow servo. The valve actuator opens the valve plate
which increases the airflow.
For Training Purposes Only

The pack operates in the APU high flow rnode when all of these conditions are
true:
 The pack switch is in the HIGH position
 The APU bleed switch is in the ON position
 The APU is operating above 95%
 The airplane is on the ground.
When these conditions are true, then solenoid A will energize to permit a flow
rate greater than high flow mode.

PACK PROTECTION
The pack protection circuit stops operation of the pack to prevent damage to
the air cycle machine and discomfort to the airplane passengers.

Normal Operation
The pack flow control and shutoff valve receives 28v dc, from the battery bus.
The valve open solenoid receives 28v dc through the pack switch in the AUTO
or HIGH position, and a de−energized pack overheat relay. This will electrically
enable the flow control and shutoff valve (pack valve) to move to the open posi-
tion.

Pack Trip
 Pack protection is a function of these three switches:
 Compressor discharge overheat switch
 Turbine inlet overheat switch
 Pack discharge duct overheat switch.
The switches are normally open. When an overheat condition occurs, the over-
heat switch closes. This energizes the pack overheat relay. When the pack
overheat relay energizes, power goes to the close solenoid of the flow control
and shutoff valve.

Indication
 These are the indications when pack trip occurs:
 PACK TRIP OFF amber light comes on
 MASTER CAUTION and AIR COND annunciator lights come on.

Pack Reset
The overheat relay latches in the overheat position. When the condition that
For Training Purposes Only

caused the pack trip off is corrected, push the TRIP RESET switch on the
P5−10 panel to deenergize the overheat relay.

Training Information Point


If the PACK TRIP OFF light comes on and the pack can be reset, the heat ex-
changers may be obstructed or dirty.
If the PACK TRIP OFF light comes on and the pack can not be reset, do a test
of the compressor discharge and turbine inlet overheat switches.
If a DUCT OVHT light comes on before a PACK TRIP OFF light, It can be a
fault with the low limit (35F) sensor or the air mix valve.

PACK VALVE
Operation
Valve shutoff operation is accomplished by energizing solenoid “C” to seat the
solenoid ball on the inlet pressure port, closing off the actuator air supply and
venting the actuator. The actuator spring will move the disk to the closed posi-
tion.
When solenoid “C” is energized to seat the ball on the vent port and open the
actuator supply pressure port, the valve actuator is supplied with air pressure
for airflow control operation. The pressure is supplied from an upstream pres-
sure port and is regulated to a desired value by the pilot regulator. Air then
passes through the control orifice and increases pressure in the actuator cham-
ber, moving the disk toward the open position. When the airflow increases to
the desired valve, the selected flow servo bleeds off air through its ball valve at
a rate that maintains the actuator pressure for the desired flow. The high flow
servo is selected when solenoid “B” is de−energized, low flow is selected when
solenoid “B” is energized. As cabin altitude increases, a bellows expands and
biases the servo spring balance to produce a lower airflow rate.
For APU operating on the ground, solenoid “A” is energized to allow inlet pres-
sure to act on high flow servo. As the piston moves, control balance is biased
to control at a higher airflow rate for maximum cooling.
Electrical power, through the pack valve closed limit switch and valve close
relay, will drive the mix valve full cold when the pack valve closes.
Solenoid “C” is provided with a manual control to allow manual operation during
ground maintenance.

RAM AIR DUCTS


These are the two sets of ram air ducts for each pack system:
 Ram air inlet
 Ram air exhaust.
The ram air inlet ducts let cooling air flow from the ram air inlet to the heat ex-
changers. The ram air exhaust ducts let air flow from the heat exchangers dis-
charge overboard.

Location
The ram air inlet ducts are outboard of the air conditioning compartment. They
extend forward to the ram air inlet in the wing−to−body fairing.
The ram air exhaust ducts are aft of the air conditioning compartments. You get
access to the exhaust ducts from the air conditioning compartment.
An inspection door is in the aft inlet duct at the aft end.
Training Information Point
There is a heat exchanger inlet inspection/clean−out panel in the inlet ducts.
This permits access to the primary and secondary heat exchanger inlets. The
access panel is in the lower area of the duct, adjacent and outboard of the heat
exchangers. You get access to the ram air inlet duct through the fairing panels.
They are outboard of the air conditioning doors.
A special tool lets you clean the heat exchangers when they are dirty.
You can repair the ducts if they have cracks or leaks.

RAM AIR INLET


The ram air inlet modulation panel controls air flow into the ram air system for
heat exchanger cooling.
Location
The ram air inlet modulation panel is in the wing-to- body fairing forward of the
air conditioning compartments. The modulation panel is in the inlet of the ram
air inlet duct.

Physical Description
The ram air inlet modulation panel is made up of two panel sections. The two
panels are hinged. The forward panel has a hinge at the forward end that con-
nects to the airplane structure. The aft panel has rollers in tracks at the aft end.
On the aft panel, clevis fittings on the mid section, and the upper surface, con-
nect link arms to the shaft assembly.
There is a ram air inlet modulation panel for the left and right ram air system.
Functional Description
The ram air inlet modulation panel and shaft assembly adjusts the quantity of
air that goes into the ram air system. The ram air inlet controller and actuator
supply the command and movement functions.
The ram air inlet actuator moves the modulation panel. Linear movement of the
actuator arm transmits movement through a link arm to the modulation panel
shaft. The shaft turns link arms that lift or lower the two panels. The aft panel
has rollers that let it move forward or aft as the two panels move up or down.
The modulation panel and the ram air inlet deflector door are mechanically con-
nected.

RAM AIR INLET CONTROLLER


The ram air control temperature sensor supplies temperature data to the ram
air controller.
Location
The ram air sensor is in the air conditioning compartment. It is in the duct that
connects the compressor section of the ACM to the secondary heat exchanger.
The ram air inlet controller is in the air conditioning compartment next to the
water separator.

Physical Description
The ram air sensor has a stainless steel probe housing. The probe housing
attaches to the electrical connector and is hermetically sealed. The housing
has external threads and hexagonal flats for a boss mount.

Functional Description
The ram air sensor is a thermistor bead element. The resistance of the temper-
ature sensing element changes as the air temperature changes. The ram air
temperature controller uses the resistance of the temperature sensor in a con-
trol bridge. When the temperature is above or below 230F (110C), the control-
ler continues to change the position of the ram air inlet modulation panel. The
controller does not send control signals when the temperature is approximately
230F (110C)

RAM AIR MODULATION


Ground Operation
When the airplane is on the ground, the air/ground sensing relays provide a
ground for the circuit to the retract side of the actuator. If the modulating panel
and exhaust louvers are not full open, they drive full open and the actuator
position switches move to the positions shown. At the same time, switch 3 in
the actuator completes a circuit for the RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light (blue).
Flight Operation
When the airplane leaves the ground, the air/ground relay becomes de−ener-
gized but the ram modulating control relay remains energized due to flaps posi-
tion. This completes a circuit to the extend side of the actuator through switch
2, and the actuator moves to position 2. At actuator position 2, the inlet modu-
lating panel move to a slightly closed position. At this position the deflector door
would have moved to the retracted position.
After take−off, when the flaps are retracted, a circuit is completed to the ram air
modulation controller. This circuit continues to extend the actuator. At position
3, the switch opens and extinguishes the RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light. From
this point on, as long the flaps are up, the ram air controller will modulate the
actuator between position 3 and position 4. The position of the actuator de-
pends on the air temperature at the air cycle machine compressor discharge.
The 110° C temperature sensor located on the air cycle machine compressor
discharge duct signal the ram air controller to position the inlet modulation
panel to maintain as close to 110° C as possible. In cruise, the actuator will
modulate between position 3 and 4. Position 4 is with the inlet modulating pan-
els nearly closed. During approach and landing, the ram air control system re-
verse the sequences noted for on the ground and take−off conditions.

AIR CYCLE MACHINE


The air cycle machine (ACM) decreases air temperature, by expansion through
a turbine.

Location
The air cycle machine is in the air conditioning compartment. There is an ACM
for each of the left and right pack systems.

Physical Description
The air cycle machine is a high-speed rotating assembly. It has three sections
connected by a common shaft:
 Turbine
 Compressor
 Fan.
Foil air bearings support the shaft. The air bearings permit the ACM to rotate at
high speed with little friction.
Functional Description
The ACM makes air cool by rapid expansion. Rapid expansion of the air drives
the turbine and compressor. Work is removed by the compressor and fan.
Air from the pneumatic systern goes into the compressor. The compressor in-
creases the pressure and the temperature of the air. This increases the tem-
perature differential in the secondary heat exchanger to improve heat transfer.
The air then goes into the turbine section of the ACM.
The fan impeller moves air through the ram air system when the airplane is on
the ground. It pulls air in from the ram air inlet through the heat exchangers. It
pushes air out through the ram air exhaust. This permits cooling airflow through
For Training Purposes Only

the heat exchangers when the airplane is on the ground.


Training Information Point
You can cause damage to the air bearings if the shaft turns in the wrong direc-
tion.
It is not necessary to do servicing of air cycle machines that have air bearings.
The ACM is part of the secondary pack assembly. It has two clevis brackets for
attachment to the structure in the air conditioning compartment.

COMPRESSOR/TURBINE OVERHEAT SW
The compressor discharge overheat switch and the turbine inlet overheat
switch monitor the pack for an overheat condition.

Location
There is a compressor discharge overheat switch and a turbine inlet overheat
switch in each of the air conditioning compartments. The compressor discharge
overheat switch is in the duct between the air cycle machine compressor sec-
tion and the secondary heat exchanger. The turbine inlet overheat switch is in
the duct from the secondary heat exchanger to the turbine section of the air
cycle machine.

Physical Description
The overheat switches have these parts:
− Electrical connector
− Switch housing
− Probe.
The overheat switches look similar. The compressor discharge overheat switch
closes at 390F/199C and the turbine inlet overheat switch closes at
210F/99C.
The electrical connection is through a hermetically sealed connector. The hous-
ing has external threads and hexagonal wrench flats for a boss mount.

coded cap.
Operation
The coalescer bag and its support are conically shaped with the small diameter
at the upstream end. The support fits inside the bag and has louvers shaped to
impart a whirling motion to air as it passes through. Air enters the separator
around the outside of the bag, passes through the bag, then through the lou-
vers. As the damp air passes through the bag, the bag is wetted and larger
droplets of water are formed. These droplets along with the air are caused to
whirl by the louvers of the support. As the air and moisture pass through the
separator the centrifugal force keeps the heavier moisture close to the inside of
the support unit it reaches the collection chamber. A cylindrical baffle approxi-

stream end. The water and air whirling in a greater diameter than the baffle find
it necessary to make a double reverse turn in order to leave the separator. The
turning does not appreciably affect airflow but the water being much heavier
cannot make the turn and remains in the collection chamber. An overboard
drain mates to an outlet in the equipment bay door.
The bypass valve allows air to pass through the water separator to the distribu-
tion system without first passing through the coalescer bag. The valve opens
as a result of increased pressure differential should the coalescer bag become
clogged or frozen.

2 C ANTI ICE CONTROL SYSTEM


A minimum temperature control system 2° C (35° F) prevents freezing of con-
densed moisture.
Features
When cooling requirements are high, the temperature of the air at it leaves the
air cycle machine may drops below the freezing point of water. The water sepa-
rator 2° C control system regulates air temperature into the separator to keep
moisture from freezing on the water separator coalescer bag.
The water separator 2° C control system consists of a
 2° C control sensor,
 2C controller,
 2° C control valve.
The sensor is located on the right forward side of the water separator, the con-
trol is mounted to the outboard side of the equipment bay near the forward end
of the bay, and the valve is located forward of the air cycle machine in the air
cycle machine by−pass duct.

2 C ANTI ICE CONTROL SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL


Keeping water separator temperature above freezing is accomplished by taking
hot air from upstream of the air cycle machine compressor and routing it back
into the system at the muff at the air cycle machine turbine discharge. The wa-
ter separator 2° C control system regulates the quantity of air being by−passed.
The low limit controller selector has six positions. The FLIGHT position is for
normal control. The other positions are for the BITE test.
The FLIGHT position enables the control and modulation circuits to operate the
valve to control the air temperature to 35F C1.7C).
The Low Limit controller uses 115v ac, single phase power for operation. It
reads the temperature sensor resistance as part of a bridge circuit. The control-
ler balances the bridge circuit by the adjustment of the water separator air tem-
perature.
The controller sends an open signal to the valve when the air temperature is
less than 34F (1.lC). It sends a close signal to the valve if the air temperature is
more than 36F (2.2C). The controller does not send a signal when the air tem-
perature is in the deadband range, 34F (1.1C) to 36F (2.2C).

breaker provide protection during both manual and automatic control operation,
the MANUAL TEMP CONT circuit breaker protects during manual operation,
and the LEFT and RIGHT AUTO TEMP CONT circuit breakers protect during
automatic control operation. When air conditioning switches are turned ON the
pack valves open and air from the pneumatic system is ducted through the mix
valves to the air cycle system and the mixing chamber. The mix valves adjust
to allow the proper proportion of cold air from the air cycle system and hot air
from the pneumatic system to enter the distribution system for a selected cabin
temperature. Manual control requires monitoring of the passenger cabin and
supply duct temperature indicator while adjusting the mix valve position to ob-
tain and hold the desired cabin temperature. With the air conditioning switches
ON, 115 volt ac current is provided to three switches in the cabin temperature
selector.
Manual Control
When the pack switch is in the AUTO or HIGH position, 115v ac goes to the
temperature selector. The selector is spring−loaded to the OFF position. When
you hold the selector to the WARM or COOL position, 115v ac goes through
the ACAU to the air mix valve.
If the selector knob is in the MANUAL OFF position all three switches are
open. Moving the knob to COOL closes one of the switches and the circuit is
completed to move the mix valve such that more air is passed through from the
air cycle system and less from the pneumatic system. Moving the knob to
For Training Purposes Only

WARM closes a different switch moving the valve in the opposite direction.
Only one of the switches in the selector can be closed at a particular time.
A 90C duct overheat thermal switch gives system protection to prevent adjust-
ment of the mix valve such that air entering the cabin becomes too hot. At ap-
proximately 90C the thermal switch closes, energizing the cabin duct overheat
relay. The energized relay completes a circuit to move the mix valve to the full
cold position. The thermal switch, when closed, also completes a circuit to illu-
minate the DUCT OVERHEAT light. After correcting the overheat condition the
system may be returned to normal. Another thermal switch protects against

Automatic Control
When the selector knob is moved to AUTO the third switch closes and a circuit
is completed to the temperature regulator. Setting the knob pointer for a parti-
cular cabin temperature adjusts a potentiometer fixed to the knob shaft. This
potentiometer serves as a reference resistance in the regulator temperature
control bridge. The cabin temperature sensor provides the resistance in the
other leg of the bridge. If cabin temperature is already the same as that asked
for by the selector, the controller will prevent any current passing on to the mix
valve. At a cabin temperature other than that selected the temperature sensor
will provide a resistance either higher or lower in the other leg of the control
bridge. As a result the controller will move the mix valve either toward hot or
cold, as required, to bring cabin temperature to the required air temperature to
slow down changes requested by the controller and prevent duct overheat.
The controller moves the mix valve so that cabin temperature changes without
sudden blasts of cold or hot air and without raising duct temperature above li-
mits. The same system overheat protection described under manual control is
in effect during automatic control.
Sensor Description
The duct limit sensor and duct anticipator are variable-resistance type. As tem-
perature increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases.
The duct limit sensor is part of a bridge circuit in the CTC. The CTC sends a
close signal to the air mix valve when the air temperature in the duct is at or
above 130F (60C).
The duct anticipator is part of a bridge circuit in the CTC. It reads the rate of

CABIN TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER


Control and passenger cabin automatic temperature regulation is obtained from
a single unit located in the electronic compartment. This unit contains all parts
of each regulation system which are not required to be mounted remotely. Se-
parate identical networks are enclosed for each cabin.
The regulator receives signal from the temperature selectors, cabin tempera-
ture sensors, and duct temperature sensors. It drives the mix valves toward hot
or cold to maintain an actual cabin temperature (sensed) equal to desired (se-
lected).

BITE
A built−in test circuit in the temperature controller provides a quick electrical
check of temperature control system components. A rotary test switch, two
sets of ”GO”, ”NO GO” lights and a test instruction decal are provided on the
face of the controller. When the temperature control system is not being tested
the switch must be returned to START position.
The following components can be tested:

CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR


The control cabin temperature sensor is located behind a screened opening in
the ceiling, approximately 4 inches left of center, at station 259. An in−line fan
downstream of the sensor draws air from the control cabin across the sensor.
The control cabin sensor fan is activated by switching the pack switch to
”AUTO” or ”HIGH”.
The passenger cabin temperature sensor is installed inside a duct located be-
low the stowage compartment. An in−line fan downstream of the sensor draws
air from the cabin across the sensor.

Training Information Point


There is a filter located behind a screened opening. If this filter is clogged, the
temperature sensor regulates a lower cabin temperature. The lower tempera-
ture depends on the clog status of the filter.

TEMPERATURE INDICATING
The temperature indicating system permits monitoring passenger cabin tem-
peratures and passenger supply air temperature from the control cabin.

Features
The temperature indicating system includes a temperature indicator, an AIR
TEMP selector, and two temperature bulbs. When power is supplied to the 28
volt dc bus 1 and the TEMPERATURE INDICATION circuit breaker is closed,
the selected temperature will be indicated.
Temperature Bulbs
Each temperature bulb contains an element whose resistance varies with
changing temperature. A bulb is installed in the supply duct and with the pas-
senger cabin temperature sensor below the stowage compartment in the for-
ward cabin. An in−line fan downstream of the bulb, draws air from the cabin
across the bulb.

Operation
Passenger cabin air supply and passenger cabin temperatures may be moni-
tored by the temperature indicator on the forward overhead panel. The temper-
ature is indicated according to the position of the AIR TEMP selector.
The AIR TEMP selector switch permits switching between supply duct and pas-
senger cabin temperature indication.

DISTRIBUTION
21−20

21-20 DISTRIBUTION
The A/C distribution system supplies conditioned air to the passenger and flight
compartments.
The main air distribution system gets air from these sources:
 Air conditioning packs
 Ground conditioned air
 Recirculation system.
The main distribution manifold collects and mixes air from any combination of
the sources.
Flight Compartment Distribution
The flight compartment gets conditioned air from the left pack and the main
distribution manifold. A duct on the left side of the airplane transmits the air.
The flight compartment has supply ducts and outlets to control the airflow at
each station.

Passenger Compartment Distribution


The passenger conditioned air distribution gets air from the main distribution
manifold. The air goes through riser ducts and up sidewalls to an overhead dis-
tribution duct. Outlets along the sidewalls and the center of the ceiling divide
the air for symmetrical supply.

Recirculation System
The recirculation system uses a fan to move air from the passenger compart-
ment to the main distribution manifold. This system reduces the amount of air
that the packs need to supply.
Ventilation
For Training Purposes Only

The ventilation system uses differential pressure to pull air out of the airplane.
The air moves through overboard vents from the cabin galley and the lavatory
areas.

Equipment Cooling System


The equipment cooling system removes heat from the equipment in the main
equipment center and the flight compartment.

OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION DUCT


The overhead distribution duct divides the supply of conditioned air to outlets
along the center and sidewalls of the passenger cabin for a symmetrical bal-
ance of airflow.

Location
The overhead distribution duct is in the center ceiling area of the passenger
compartment.

Physical Description
The overhead distribution duct is a cylindrical composite tube. There are outlets
along its length that attach to riser ducts and flexible sidewall ducts. The fit-
tings, in the area where the sidewall riser ducts attach, permit the attachment
of temperature sensors.

Training Information Point


You get access to the overhead distribution duct through the ceiling panels in
the passenger cabin. Mounting screws attach the diffuser outlet assembly to
the overhead distribution duct. Duct brackets attach the overhead distribution
duct to the ceiling supports. Flexible ducts connect the overhead distribution
duct to the sidewall outlets and the sidewall riser ducts.

GALLEY VENTILATION
The galley ventilation muffler decreases noise levels as air flows out of the gal-
leys.

General
The ventilation system uses differential pressure, cabin—to—ambient, to re-
move air by suction. The system uses these components to take air out of the
galley:
 Galley vent inlet
 Flexible ducts
 Galley ventilation muffler
 Exhaust nozzle.
The flexible ducts connect the vent inlet opening in the galley ceiling to an ex-
haust nozzle in the airplane skin. The galley ventilation muffler reduces the
noise of air being released from the pressurized cabin.
Location
The galley ventilation muffler is in the ceiling area above the galley.
Training Information Point
Air velocity through the galley ventilation muffler will increase if the muffler shell
has contamination or cracks. This may cause noise levels to increase.

MAIN DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLD


The distribution manifold receives conditioned air from both packs, filtered re-
circulated air from the recirculation fan, or an external conditioned air source
routes it through two risers to the passenger cabin overhead distribution sys-
tem.
The control cabin air is supplied from the left pack output duct upstream of the
mixing and distribution manifold. Sensors in this duct provide overheat protec-
tion, indication, and control reference for the left pack.
Ground Service Connection
A ground service connection is provided to allow use of a ground service cart
for conditioned air to the cabin when airplane air conditioning is off. A check
valve in the duct prevents loss of air when airplane air conditioning is on. The
connection is a short duct section which is fastened to the pressure skin and
the duct and check valve assembly at its upper flange and has two slotted ho-
les in its lower flange to match fasteners on the ground service cart. An ac-
cess door must be opened to make the connection. A swing check valve in the
duct and check valve assembly opens with pressure from the ground service
cart and closes when air is being supplied from the airplane air conditioning
system.

Recirculation Fan
A recirculation system is installed to provide ventilation while minimizing bleed
air requirements. An electrically blower draws cabin air through filters and dis-
charges into the mixing and distribution manifold. The system recirculates
approximately 23,5 m3/min (830 cubic feed /min).
The recirculation fan is energized if:

RECIRCULATION FAN FUNCT. DESCR.


Power for the recirculation fan is 115v ac from main bus 2. The control power
comes from DC bus 2. The circuit breakers are on the P6 panel.
The R331 relay enables power to the fan when control authority is in the cor-
rect sequence.
Control authority of the fan has two levels. The highest level of authority are
these switches:
 RECIRC FAN switch (P5 panel)
 Recirculation fan overheat switches (in the fan field coils).
To enable the second level of authority, the RECIRC FAN switch is in the
AUTO position and the fan temperature is normal.
The second level of authority is the relay logic in the air conditioning accessory
unit (ACAU). This logic looks at pack flow conditions. If one (L or R) of the pack
valve closed relay is energized, the recirculation fan operates to increase cabin
ventilation. If both (L and R) of the pack valves have their normal relays ener-
gized, the recirculation fan operates.
Training Information Point
The recirc fan switch bypass relay is normally energized when there is battery
bus power. This relay removes power from the bypass circuit for the recircula-
tion fan.
The air conditioning overboard exhaust valve reconfig cont circuit breaker is for
unpressurized dispatch. If the circuit breaker is open, the bypass circuit en-
ables the recirculation fan to operate if the smoke control relay energizes.

 Supplemental heating.

Cargo Compartments
For Training Purposes Only

The cargo compartments receive heat from equipment cooling exhaust and
passenger compartment air. Warm equipment cooling exhaust air flows under
the forward cargo compartment floor and along the sidewalls. The air mixes
with passenger compartment air in the main distribution manifold.
The aft cargo compartment air comes from the passenger compartment
through the foot level grilles. The air goes into the sidewall area around and
under the aft cargo compartment through the outflow valve.
The warm air on all sides of the cargo compartments is an insulator. It prevents
the transfer of heat through the skin by conduction.

DOOR AREA HEATING — FUNCT. DESCR.


The air conditioning system controls operation of the door area heaters.
The logic for the door area heaters comes from the air/ground system and air
conditioning pack valve operation.

Functional Description
The door area heater power relay (R560) controls power to the heaters. When
the airplane is in the air and one of the pack flow control and shutoff valves is
open, the relay energizes. When the relay energizes, 115v ac power from main
bus 1 goes to the heaters.
The door area heaters use phase-to-phase power . Power goes through two
heat elements per unit. Each heat element uses 325 watts. There are internal
temperature control components that keep the temperature to a limit. The over-
heat switch opens at a temperature of 230F (110C) and closes at 200F
(93C). The thermal fuse opens at a temperature of 300F (148C).
The overwing exit doors are heated with heaters behind the lining, door trim,
and close out panels

SUPPLY AND EXHAUST FANS


The supply and exhaust fans move air around electrical equipment to remove
heat.
General Description
There are two sets of fans (normal and alternate) for the supply and the ex-
haust systems. One fan per system operates at a time.
Location
The supply fans and check valves are in the EE compartment. They are behind
the right bulkhead access panel of the forward cargo compartment.The ex-
haust fans and check valves are in the aft lower section of the EE compart-
ment. You get access to the exhaust fans through the raised access panel aft
of the equipment access door.

Physical Description
The normal and alternate cooling fans are single stage vaneaxial fans intergra-
ting the motor into the fan. The rotating impeller pushes air over the motor hou-
sing and through de−swirl vanes before exiting the fan. Three miniature ther-
mostats (204C) serve as thermal protective devices for the fan.
Training Information Point
The supply and exhaust fans install with v-band clamps. Arrows show the
proper flow direction. The supply and exhaust fans are interchangeable.

Check Valves
A two section swing check valve, spring loaded closed, is located down stream
of each fan to prevent back flow of air through the fan that is not operating.

AIR FILTER
The equipment cooling air filter removes small particles of dirt from the air be-
fore it enters the EE cooling system. This prevents contamination of the electri-
cal and the electronic equipment.
The air filter is upstream of the supply fans.
The air filter is a cartridge type filter inside the air filter housing.
Training Information Point
A clogged air filter will cause low flow through the equipment cooling supply
system. The air filter will require replacement on a regular maintenance sched-
ule. Release the quick release tabs on the air filter housing cover to get access
to the filters.

Low Flow Sensors


The low flow sensors monitor air flow for the equipment cooling system. When
airflow cooling quality through the equipment is not sufficient, the sensor sup-
plies an indication.
Location
The low flow sensors are in the forward equipment compartment. They are in
the supply and exhaust ducts of the equipment cooling system. Access to the
sensors is through the forward equipment compartment access door.
Functional Description
The low flow sensors are a hot wire anemometer type. The low flow sensor
monitors the airflow and temperature of the equipment cooling air. The sensor
sends an alarm signal when the equipment cooling airflow is not within limits.
The low flow sensors have an internal BIT. At power−up, the low flow sensors
and alarm circuits do a test for correct operation. If the sensor(s) fail the BIT

SUPPLY FAN FUNCTION


The supply fan pushes air to the equipment in the EE compartment and flight
compartment.
There are two supply fans, normal and alternate.
One supply fan is set to operate when you apply system power.

Normal Supply Fan Operation


The normal supply fan operates when these conditions are true:
 The thermal switches in the normal supply fan are closed (no overheat
condition)
 The supply system control interrupt relay is in the normal (de−energized)
position
 The EQUIP COOLING SUPPLY switch is in the NORMAL position.
The normal supply fan control relay energizes to enable 115v ac three−phase
power to the fan.
Alternate Supply Fan Operation
The alternate supply fan operates when the EQUIP COOLING SUPPLY switch
is in the ALTERNATE position and the same logic conditions as the normal fan.
Fan Failure/Low Flow
If a fan fails to operate, the supply low flow detector low alarm signal activates.
The supply low flow detector supplies the discrete signal for the system OFF
light and MASTER CAUTION light to come on.

Smoke/ Interrupt
When the smoke control relay energizes, it supplies 28v dc power to energize
For Training Purposes Only

the supply system control interrupt relay (R645). This relay energizes immedi-
ately and prevents power to the normal and alternate fans. The supply low flow
detector receives an inhibit signal. This prevents the low flow signal to cause
the OFF light and MASTER CAUTION light to come on.
The supply system control interrupt relay de-energizes after a 5-minute time
delay.

OVERBOARD EXHAUST VALVE


The overboard exhaust valve has two functions. It controls the quantity of
equipment cooling exhaust air that flows overboard and it operates in a smoke
clearance mode.

Location
The overboard exhaust valve is in the aft center section of the EE compart-
ment, below the floor.

Physical Description
The 4 inch diameter overboard exhaust valve has these physical features:
 Valve body
 Electromechanical rotary actuator (electric motor, gear reduction train)
 Position indicator (NORMAL/SMOKE).
 Valve disk
 Damper housing (silicone oil filled).
It attaches to the overboard exhaust duct by v-band clamps.
Functional Description
The overboard exhaust valve is a pneumatically controlled pressure regulated
air shutoff valve. A 28v dc actuator overrides the valve pneumatic control for
smoke clearance in the EE cooling system.
A spring force on the valve disk fully opens the valve. When the airplane pres-
surizes, airflow through the valve increases. The valve stays fully open until the
airflow rate through it is more than 30 lbs/min (14 kg/min). It is fully closed
when differential pressure is more than 1 psid.
In the smoke clearance position the valve disc is able to move freely from fully
For Training Purposes Only

open to approximately 70 degrees open. The actual position is a function of


airflow conditions.
The silicone-oil damper limits the rate of valve disk movement.

Training Information Point


Access to the overboard exhaust valve requires removal of the crew oxygen
bottle. For more information see chapter 35, part II of AMM. Obey all precau-
tions when working around oxygen systems.

HEAT EXCH. AND WATER EXTR. DESCR.


Condenser
The condenser decreases the temperature of the air in the air conditioning
pack to below dew point. This causes the water vapor in the airstream to go
into a liquid form.
The condenser is a a plate−fin, single−pass, crossflow, air−to−air heat ex-
changer. It is made of aluminum.
The condenser uses turbine discharge air to cool pack air after it makes the
first pass through the reheater.
The air cools enough to condense moisture. Part of the cold air bypasses
around the condenser core and warm air comes through de-icing passages in
the face of the core to prevent icing at the cold air face of the core. A free
passsage between the two condenser cores is an icing fail−safe.
Delta pressure sense line bosses connect sense lines to the pneumatic servo−
actuator of the standby temperature control valve. Icing in the condenser
creates a differential pressure large enough to open the standby temperature
control valve. Warm air from the standby temperature control valve into the tur-
bine discharge stream warms the condenser and melts ice.
You must remove the left air conditioning pack high pressure water separator to
get access to the center fuel tank access panel.

Reheater
The reheater increases the temperature of the air in the air conditioning pack
before it enters the turbine of the air cycle machine. This increases the effi-
ciency of the turbine. The primary purpose of the reheater is to increase the
turbine efficency of the air cycle machine. Bleed air leaving the water extractor
duct enters the reheater on the first of two passes through the unit. This air
For Training Purposes Only

warms the air coming from the water extractors (second pass) before entering
the turbine. The air exiting the reheater (first pass) then enters the condenser.
The reheater is a a plate−fin, single−pass, crossflow, air−to−air heat exchanger.
It is made of aluminum.

WATER EXTRACTOR DUCT


The water extractors are coaxial split—can type gravity fluid separators.
Water in the airstream falls into the sump of the water extractor duct. The sump
collects the water, and pressure in the extractor forces the water out of the
sump into the drain boss. A line connects the drain boss to the water spray
nozzle.
The water spray nozzle injects the water into the ram air duct. This cools the
ram air stream by evaporation.
Water Spray Nozzle
The water in the water extractor sumps is ducted to a collection manifold loca-
ted on the underside of the high pressure water separator. The water extractors
are located forward and aft of the condensor in the equipment bay. During
some operating conditions, water condensation occurs in the secondary heat
exchanger. This moisture is removed by the water extractor duct. The water
collected by the water extractors and water extractor duct is ducted from the
collection manifold to a water spray nozzle located in the ram air duct. In the
event of a clogged nozzle, a port on the collection manifold will discharge the
overflow.

PRIMARY WATER EXTRACTOR


The water extractors are inertial−type centrifugal flow fluid separators.
The inlet of the water extractor has a swirl chamber to create a vortex airflow.
The water fraction of the airstream is centrifugally shed into the outer shell of
the extractor. A sump collects the water, and pressure in the extractor forces
the water out of the sump into the drain nipples. Lines connect the drain nipples
to the water spray nozzle.
The water spray nozzle iniects the water into the ram air duct. This cools the
ram air stream by evaporation.

Pack Temperature Sensor


The pack temperature sensors measure the temperature in the air conditioning
pack. They give feedback to the pack/zone temperature controllers.
The pack temperature sensor is on the pack high pressure water separator as-
sembly.

Functional Description
The pack temperature sensors are thermistor devices. Their resistance
changes with temperature. The temperature sensor resistance is the feedback
to the pack/zone controller. The pack/zone controller uses the feedback to con-
trol the discharge temperature of the air conditioning system.
Each pack temperature sensor has two sense elements. One element to give
feedback to each of the two pack/zone temperature controllers. One element
gives pack temperature feedback to the auto (normal) channel of its related
pack/zone temperature controller. The other element gives pack temperature
feedback to the standby channel of the opposite pack/zone temperature con-
troller.

TEMP. CONTROL VALVES SCHEMATIC DESCRIPTION


Temperature Control Valve
The 115v ac, 400 Hz, single−phase temperature control valve receives its sig-
nals from the controller. The electric motor drives an output shaft through a slip
clutch. The valve disk, a visual position indicator, and a cam are connected to
the output shaft. The cam contacts a set of limit switches to provide feedback
signals to the controller.
A manual override drives the output shaft through the slip clutch.
Standby Temperature Control Valve
The standby temperature control valve is electrically and pneumatically con-
trolled and pneumatically operated.
 Torque Motor
Electrical control of the valve is part of the standby mode of operation. In
this mode, a flapper in the torque motor is electrically positioned to regulate
pressure in the pneumatic actuator.The servos actuate a poppet valve to
control the actuation pressure being ported from the reference pressure reg-
ulator to the pneumatic actuator to open the disk. The flow of hot air into the
condenser will increase and the condenser will deice. As the condenser
deices, the differential pressure decreases and the disk closes.
 High/Low Pressure Delta P Servo
If ice begins to form across either path through the condensor, an increase
in differential pressure is sensed by the respective delta P servo. The in-
creased differential pressure actuates a delta P poppet valve allowing pres-
sure in the pneumatic actuator to increase. This will cause the valve to
open. The flow of hot air into the condensor will increase and the conden-
sor will deice. As the condensor deices, the differential pressure decreases

MIX MANIFOLD TEMPERATURE SENSOR


The mix manifold temperature sensors measure the temperature in the mix
manifold of the air conditioning system. They give feedback to the pack/zone
temperature controllers.

Location
There are two mix manifold temperature sensors. They are similar in design
and operation. They are on the upper aft wall of the mix manifold. Access is
through the center aft bulkhead panel in the forward cargo compartment.
Physical Description
The mix manifold temperature sensors have these parts:
 Sense element
 Case with mounting boss
 Electrical connector.
Functional Description
The mix manifold temperature sensors are thermistor devices. Their resistance
changes with temperature.
The temperature sensor resistance is the feedback to the pack/zone controller.
The pack/zone controller uses the feedback to prevent freezing temperatures
in the air conditioning distribution system. Freezing temperatures in the dis-
tribution ducts can cause moisture in the duct joints to freeze. The ice forma-
tion and expansion in the ducts can cause damage.

Conditioned Air Check Valve


The conditioned air check valve permits one-way airflow from the pack to the
main distribution manifold.
For Training Purposes Only

The packs supply pressurized air through the check valve to the distribution
system. The check valve prevents airflow from the pressurized distribution sys-
tem to the unpressurized air conditioning compartment. This is for single pack
operation or a pack system duct leak.

TRIM AIR PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE
The trim air pressure regulating and shut off valve is an electrically controlled,
pneumatically actuated, pressure regulating valve. The primary components of
the valve are a pneumatic actuator assembly, a servo regulator, a nonlatching
solenoid assembly, a manual override position indicator, a relief valve, and the
valve body assembly.The valve is spring loaded to a closed position.
The solenoid valve is energized open when the TRIM AIR switch on the
P5 overhead panel is positioned to the ON. Bleed air is ported to the open side
of the pneumatic actuator to overcome the actuator spring force. The servo
regulator senses the differential pressure between the bleed air and the cabin
to regulate the trim air to (+) 4.0 psi above the cabin pressure. The trim air
pressure regulating valve is located in the right equipment bay.

Maintenance Practices
The trim air system can be disabled by closing the manual override on the trim
air pressure regulating valve. This removes valve actuation pressure through
the solenoid assembly, and manually closes the valve assembly.

TRIM AIR MODULATING VALVE


The trim air modulating valves port hot bleed air into the control cabin and pas-
senger cabin zone ducts to meet zone temperature requirements.
The trim air modulating valves are controlled by the pack/zone temperature
controllers.
 The forward passenger cabin and control cabin modulating valves receive
positioning signals from the right controller.
The left controller serves as backup to position the control cabin trim air mo-
dulating valve.
 The aft passenger cabin zone modulating valve receives its signals from the
left controller.
The modulating valve operates on 115 volts ac, single−phase power. An elec-
tromechanical actuator drives an output shaft through a slip clutch. A butterfly,
visual position indicator, and a cam are connected to the output shaft. The
cam contacts a set of limit switches to provide feedback to the pack/zone tem-
perature controllers. A manual override drives the output shaft through the slip
clutch.
The passenger compartment valves are located fwd in the right equipment bay.
The control cabin valve is located forward in the left air conditioning bay.

PACK/ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER


The pack/zone temperature controllers do these things: Training Information Point
 Control their related air conditioning pack The pack/zone temperature controllers are electro − static discharge sensitive
 Give automatic standby control to the opposite air conditioning pack (ESDS) devices. Use ESDS safe handling techniques.
 Control two zone trim air control channels
 Control their related air conditioning pack ram air actuators
 Give maintenance crews automatic built−in test equipment (BITE) that iso-
lates faults to the line replaceable unit (LRU) level.
General Description
Two identical and interchangeable pack/zone temperature controllers control
the cooling pack discharge temperature and forms a three zone temperature
control system. Their pin interface with the rack identifies them to the airplane
systems.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Air conditioning begins when one or both of the pack switches on the P5 over-
head panel is positioned to AUTO or HIGH. This commands the respective
pack valve(s) to open allowing bleed air to enter the pack. The flow rate at
which bleed air enters the air conditioning system is determined by the settings
on the P5 overhead panel. Downstream of the pack valve, the bleed air is di-
verted to a cooling pack system and a trim air system. The trim air system con-
sists of a trim air pressure regulating and shut off valve, three trim air modula-
ting valves, two trim air check valves, and various thermal sensing units.
These components in conjunction with the pack/zone temperature controllers
provide a three zone temperature control system. The temperature control sy-
stem has an selectable range of 18C to 30C. The primary control for the trim
air system is an ON/OFF switch on the P5 overhead panel. The ON/OFF
switch is the only control for the trim air pressure regulating and shut off valve.
This valve allows bleed air into the trim air system.

The air then flows to the trim air modulating valves.
The cooling packs, satisfy the zone requiring the most cooling. The trim air
modulating valves are positioned to satisfy the other zones temperature de-
mands. The trim air modulating valves receive positioning signals from the
pack/zone temperature controllers. The positioning signals are generated from
input signals received from the temperature selectors, zone temperature sen-
sors, and duct temperature sensors. The signals from the individual zone tem-
perature selectors are sent to the pack/zone temperature controller and com-
pared with input signals from the respective zone temperature sensors. This
generates the error or temperature demand signal for each zone. The tempera-
ture demand signal for each zone is then compared to the duct temperature
sensor signal for the respective zone. This produces a zone duct loop error
which is used to position the trim air modulating valve to satisfy the tempera-
ture demanded at each zone inlet.
Anti Ice Protection
Ice protection is provided for the mix manifold by a 2C, temperature limit to
the output of the pack. The mix manifold temperature input to the pack/zone
controller is from two sensors mounted on the mix manifold. The controller
compares the two inputs and uses the coldest signal. The mix manifold temper-
ature and the PACK DEMAND are then compared with a 2C limit and the con-
troller uses the warmest signal to position the temperature control valve.
In the ”UNBALANCED AVERAGE MODE”, the left pack/zone controller will use
the flight compartment duct temperature for the anti−ice temperature limit
For Training Purposes Only

instead of the mix manifold temperature.


STBY Pack Operation
If the left pack automatic temperature control fails, an activate standby pack
command signal is generated. This connects the left standby temperature con-
trol valve to the right pack/zone controller and activates the standby control.
The standby pack control regulates the output of the pack using the standby
temperature control valve. The standby temperature control valve performs the
same function as the primary pack temperature control valve.

LIGHT INDICATION SYSTEM


This system provides indication of an over temperature condition or failure of
the pack/zone controllers.

Monitor
Overheat protection for the cooling pack is provided by three thermal switches:
 compressor discharge overheat, 200C.
 turbine inlet overheat, 100C.
 pack discharge overheat 120C.
If an overheat is sensed, the PACK light will illuminate simultaneously with the
Master Caution system. The pack temperature control system may be reset
after the cooling pack has cooled by pushing the TRIP RESET switch on the
P5 panel.
A single failure of the pack control will illuminate the PACK light only when the
Master Caution system is recalled. This indicates a failed system and the re-
quirement to perform a Bite check on the controller. If both auto and standby
control fail, the PACK light will illuminate immediately.

21−20 DISTRIBUTION
CONDITIONED AIR DISTRIBUTION
A system of ducts distributes the conditioned air from the packs to outlets in
the flight and passenger compartments.
Subsystem Features
The conditioned air distribution system begins at the mix manifold which is lo-
cated in the air conditioning distribution bay aft of the forward cargo compart-
ment.
The flight compartment air distribution system consists of a duct originating
from the left pack input into the mix manifold. The duct goes forward under the
floor of the passenger compartment on the left side of the airplane. In the lower
nose compartment, the duct branches into several risers and goes vertically
into the flight compartment ceiling, floor, and foot level outlets.
The passenger compartment distribution system receives conditioned air from
the mix manifold through four risers in the sidewalls. The risers discharge into
an overhead distribution duct running the full length of the passenger compart-
ment. Air discharges through outlets in the bottom of the duct, through flexible
hoses to over window outlets between the passenger service units (PSU’s) and
the sidewall panels, and around the aft entry light assembly.
During normal operation, two electrical recirculation fans draw air from the pas-
senger compartment and the equipment cooling system through filters. The
recirculation air is delivered to the mix manifold through check valves. The re-
circulation fans and check valves are identical and interchangeable. Care must
be taken to avoid reverse installation of the components. The recirculation rate
is approximately 47 m3 per minute. No recirculated air goes into the flight
compartment.

MIX MANIFOLD
The mix manifold receives conditioned air from both packs, the recirculation
fans, or from an external conditioned air source. The mix manifold routes the
air to the distribution system.
Location
The mix manifold is located in the air conditioning distribution bay aft of the for-
ward cargo compartment. A−removable bulkhead separates the cargo
compartment from the air conditioning distribution bay.
Features
Ducts from the left and right packs enter the bottom of the mix manifold. Four
risers carry air from the top of the mix manifold, to the passenger compartment.
Temperature sensors on the top forward side of the manifold send signals to
the pack/zone controllers. Air from the recirculation fans enter the mix manifold
on the left and right sides. A duct on the bottom rear of the mix manifold con-
nects with the external conditioned air fitting. The external conditioned air fitting
is accessible on the bottom of the fuselage, forward of the air conditioning
doors. Air for the flight compartment does not enter the mix manifold but goes
from the left pack duct to the flight compartment.

CABIN PRESSURE CONTROLLER (CPC)


The cabin pressure controllers (CPCs) have these functions:
 Control cabin pressure when the system is in the AUTO or ALTN mode of
operation
 Perform system BITE (start up, continuous, and initiated tests).
Location
The two pressure controllers are in the EE compartment. The No. 1 CPC is on
the E2-2 rack. The No. 2 CPC is on the E4-1 rack.
Physical Description
Each controller has a pressure sensor on its face.
Each controller has a standard BITE module on its face. Refer to the adjust-
ment/test section of the maintenance manual or to the BITE manual for the
cabin pressure controller BITE instructions.
ARINC 429 interrogation ports are behind the BITE instruction plates. They
allow interface during system operation for real time onboard troubleshooting.

General Description
There are two cabin pressure controllers. The two controllers are identical and
interchangeable. The controllers use digital circuitry.
The controllers are part of a dual redundant system. They are active when the
system operates in the AUTO or ALTN modes. Only one controller operates
the outflow valve at any given time. The other controller acts as a backup.
The controllers have pin selectable control functions. This optimizes the system
for specific mission profiles.

 control chamber, and a
 spring−loaded diaphragm operated sensor control for controlling the
valve opening.
The control chamber is vented to the cabin, but has a restrictor in the vent for
limiting cabin air inflow. A filter is also installed to prevent contamination in the
control chamber. Another passage vents to ambient through the diaphragm
operated sensor control poppet. The sensor control is separated by a dia-
phragm. One side of the diaphragm senses cabin pressure while the other
side senses ambient pressure. A differential pressure of 8.95 psi will cause the
poppet to unseat opening a vent from the control chamber to ambient. This
venting of the control chamber reduces the pressure within the chamber. The
valve gate, with control chamber pressure on one side will cause the gate to
unseat at approximately 8.95 psi differential pressure as a result of cabin pres-
sure on the other side of the valve gate. The diaphragm operated sensor con-
trol ensures that cabin−to−ambient differential pressure does not exceed
8.95 psi.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE


The negative pressure relief valve prevents negative differential pressure (vac-
uum pressure) damage to the airplane structure. This can prevent structure
damage during a rapid descent.

Location
The negative pressure relief valve is on the lower aft fuselage, on the left side,
near the aft service door.
You access the valve from the aft cargo compartment.
General Description
The negative pressure relief valve is a mechanical device and operates inde-
pendently. It does not interface with other airplane pressurization systems and
requires no crew action.
The negative pressure relief valve is a flapper type valve. The valve hinges on
its top edge and opens inward. A spring on its hinge pin holds the valve closed.
Negative differential cabin-to-ambient pressure opens the valve. The valve
opens when pressure outside of the airplane is 1.0 psi more than the pressure
inside of the airplane (−1.0 psid).
A stand pipe can be attached to the relief valve assembly. The stand pipe
keeps water out of the airplane during ditching. Water enters the valve until the
weight of the water column in the stand pipe closes the valve.

CARGO COMP. BLOWOUT PANEL


The cargo compartment blowout panels prevent damage to the airplane struc-
ture during sudden decompression.

Location
The cargo compartment blowout panels are in these places:
 Cargo compartment ceilings
 Cargo compartment bulkheads.

General Description
The cargo compartment blowout panels are held in place by frames.
During rapid decompression, the differential pressures push the panels out of
their frames. This lets pressures in the upper and lower fuselage lobes equalize
quickly. This prevents damage to flight critical structure.
The blowout panels on the cargo compartment bulkheads have grates. The
grates do not let baggage hit the blowout panels.

Cargo Compartment Pressure Equalization Valves


The cargo compartment pressure equalization valves let the pressures in the
cargo compartments change.
Location
The cargo compartment pressure equalization valves are on the bulkheads in
the cargo compartments.
General Description
The cargo compartments are tightly sealed by a fire resistant liner. The liner
isolates the cargo compartments from the airplane air conditioning system.
This is necessary for fire protection (class D requirements).
The pressure equalization valves isolate the cargo compartments from active
air conditioning, but let cargo compartment pressures change.
The cargo compartment pressure equalization valve is a swing check valve
assembly. Each assembly has two valves:
 One valve lets air into the cargo compartment during airplane pressurization
 One valve lets air out of the cargo compartment during airplane depressu-
rization.

The AUTO mode circuitry has these parts: Both controllers run continuous BITE tests. If the active CPC system becomes
 Redundant 28v dc power sources inoperative, the other CPCsystem automatically takes control (ALTN mode).
 Cabin pressure control module (P5−6)
 Two digital cabin pressure control (CPCs) units
 Two AUTO mode dc motors with drive electronics boxes on the aft outflow
valve assembly
 Circuit wiring and connectors.
When the control module mode selector is in the AUTO position, it sets the
pressurization control system to automatic operation.
The automatic control system has a dual redundant architecture. The two
CPCs are identical and interchangeable. Rack pin connections identify the con-
trollers as CPC No. 1 and CPC No. 2 to the system.
Only one CPC controls the outflow valve at any time. The other CPC is a
back−up. At system power−up, the No.1 CPC becomes the active controller.
The system switches active control from one CPC to the other with each flight.
This keeps wear equal on the mechanical drive components of the two sys-
tems.
The CPCs use data from these systems to determine flight phase:
 Both air data inertial reference units (ADIRUs)
 Both stall management and yaw damper computers (SMYDCs)
 The proximity switch electronics unit (PSEU).
The CPC determines a target cabin pressure in response to:
 P5−6 control module inputs
For Training Purposes Only

 Flight phase.
The CPC compares the target pressure to the pressure at it’s sense port. If a
difference exists the CPC sends an open or close command to its drive elec-
tronics box on the aft outflow valve assembly. The drive electronics box oper-
ates its valve motor. The motor moves the outflow valve through a mechanical
drive train. In this way, the active controller modulates the aft outflow valve to
control cabin pressure and rate of pressure change.
Outflow valve position feedback to the CPC verifies proper valve operation
(closed loop feedback).

OFF SCHEDULED DESCENT


If it is necessary to land immediately after takeoff, the pressurization control
system automaticatly programs the pressurization system for landing.
The OFF SCHED DESCENT indication is part of this feature. The light tells you
that the system will control cabin pressure for a return to the take−off field.
The off schedule descent feature only works in the AUTO and ALTN modes.
It is not a feature of the MANUAL mode.
An off schedule descent begins when the airplane starts to descend off sched-
ule (before it reaches cruise altitude).

Functional Description
If the airplane begins a descent before it reaches the FLT ALT selected on the
control module, these things happen:
 The OFF SCHED DESCENT Light comes on
 MASTER CAUTION and AIR COND annunciator lights come ON
 The pressurization control system automatically schedules the cabin pres-
sure for return to take−off field.
The OFF SCHED DESCENT Light will go out if these conditions occur:
 The airplane begins to climb again
 The FLT ALT is reset to the current altitude
 The pilot selects manual (MAN) mode
 The airplane lands.
If the airplane aborts its mission, and diverts to an field other than the take−off
field, the flight crew must reset the pressure controller:
 Select FLT ALT to 200 feet less than airplane altitude (flight cruise altitude
capture)
For Training Purposes Only

 Set the landing altitude in the LND ALT window on the selector panel to the
landing field elevation.
The pressure control system cancels the off schedule descent feature for the
flight when the airplane reaches the FLT ALT set on the P5−6 control module.

The manual control mode gives the flight crew direct control of the outflow
valve.
General Description
The MANUAL mode has these parts:
 28v dc bat bus power source
 Cabin pressure control module (P5-6)
 MANUAL mode DC motor on the aft outflow valve assembly
 Circuit wiring and connectors.
When the control module mode selector is in the MANUAL position, it config-
ures the pressurization control system for manual operation. These things hap-
pen:
 The automatic control systems are disarmed
 The control module outflow valve switch arms
 The MANUAL system indication light comes on.
The aft outflow valve switch is a three position toggle switch. These are the
three positions

the motor opens the valve.


The position transducer on the aft outflow valve assembly gives valve position
feedback to the control module outflow valve position indicator.
You can use the instruments on the P5-16 cabin altitude panel for reference
during manual operation of the pressurization system:
 The pressure limitation placard
 The cabin/flight altitude conversion placard
 The cabin altitude and differential pressure indicator
 The cabin rate of climb indicator.

MANUAL MODE CONTROL


The pressurization outflow valve can operate in the manual mode. To do this,
put the pressurization mode selector to the MANUAL position. The valve can
then be opened or closed by the outflow valve switch. The pressurization mode
selector and the outflow valve switch are on the cabin pressure control panel
on the P5 overhead panel.
Functional Description
When the pressurization mode selector is in the MANUAL position, these
things happen:
 The green MANUAL light comes on
 CPC 1 and CPC 2 stop automatic and alternate modes of valve operation.
When the outflow valve switch is in the open or close position, these things
happen:
 The manual motor booster changes 28v dc to 48v dc for valve motor opera-
tion
 Power from the booster goes to the valve manual motor.
 The direction of valve operation for the open/close functions is controlled by
change of the power supply and return by the switch positions.

Training Information Point


You can do a check of the valve operation with the manual mode of valve op-
eration.

CABIN PRESS. IND. AND ALT. WARN. SYST.


The cabin pressure indication and altitude warning system does these things:
 Shows cabin pressure altitude
 Shows cabin−to−ambient differential pressure
 Shows cabin rate of climb
 Gives the crew an aural signal (with cutout) wher cabin pressure altitude is
10,000 feet or higher.

Location
These components are on the cabin altitude panel (P5−17):
 Pressure indicators
 Warning circuits
 Cutout switch.
The pressure switch is on the ceiling of the lower nose compartment.
The warning horn is in the aural warning box on the control stand.

Pressure Indication
The cabin altimeter/differential pressure indicator shows these things:
 Cabin pressure altitude (short needle and inner scale)
 Cabin−to−ambient differential pressure (long needle and outer scale).
The cabin rate of climb indicator shows the rate of change in cabin pressure
altitude.

Warning System
The aural signal is an intermittent beep.
The cabin altitude warning switch is an aneroid type switch.
For Training Purposes Only

When the cabin altitude reaches 10,000 ft above mean sea level the pressure
warning switch closes. This energizes the warning circuit and causes the inter-
mittent warning horn to sound.
The cutout push-button switch allows the crew to deactivate the warning alarm
until the next high cabin altitude event.

CABIN ALTITUDE WARNING


The cabin altitude warning system warns the flight crew before cabin pressure
altitude becomes unsafe.

Operation
The cabin altitude pressure switch is a normally open contact aneroid type
switch. The switch will close if the cabin pressure altitude is 10,000 feet or
higher. When the switch closes, these things happen:
 The switch grounds the horn circuit, which energizes the system
 The aural warning module makes an intermittent beep alarm.
When you press the HORN CUTOUT switch on the P-5 panel, these things
happen:
 The K1 relay energizes through the closed pressure switch
 When K1 energizes the aural warning circuit OPENS and removes the
ground signal to the aural warning module
 The horn circuit loses power and the horn goes off
 K1 latches itself through the pressure switch.
When the cabin altitude descends below 10,000 feet., the pressure warning
switch opens, and these things happen:
 K1 de-energizes
 The warning circuit is reset for the next event.
