Recirculation

This part of the A/C system puts 50 percent of the


cabin air back into the system for ventilation. This
decreases the quantity of fresh air necessary from the
pneumatic system for ventilation. The recirculation fan
and filter are the primary components.

See the recirculation section for more information


about the recirculation systems (ATA 21-25).

The left RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light is on. If the RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light is on during the flight
cruise mode, it can be one of these three possible

ram air controller. - An electrical failure.

The ram air controller receives temperature signals


from the ram air control temperature sensor. The sensor
sends signals from the air cycle machine (ACM)
compressor outlet. The controller uses the air
(temperature) sensor signal in a bridge circuit. The
bridge circuit reads the ACM compressor temperature as
an error signal, too hot or too cold. The nominal
(balanced) control temperature is 230F/110C. The output
sends a retract (too hot) signal through S3 or a (too
cold) signal to extend the actuator through S4. The
switch positions S3 and S4 in the actuator are the
control limits for cruise mode.

The normal position for the ram air inlet modulation


panels in flight with the flaps up is faired (closed).
This is to decrease drag. The RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - WATER SPRAY INJECTOR
Purpose

The water spray injector adds water into the ram air
system. This increases the efficiency of the heat
exchangers.

Location

The water spray injectors are in the air conditioning


compartment. They attach to the inboard wall of the ram
air inlet duct, outboard and forward of the heat
exchangers.

Physical Description

The water spray injector is a T-fitting with three


threaded ends.

There are two water spray injectors, one for each pack
system.

Functional Description

The air from the turbine section of the ACM supplies


air flow through the water spray nozzle. Water from the
water separator flows perpendicular to the air flow at
a venturi. This causes suction of water into the
airstream. When the water and air mix, the force breaks
the water into microscopic droplets (atomize). The
atomized mixture flows into the ram air duct upstream

(2.2C).
The low limit (35F) system has these components:

- Temperature sensor
- Controller
- Valve.

Functional Description

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 maintain an air
temperature of 35F (1.7C) within the water separator.

The temperature sensor is a thermistor element within


the probe body. The resistance of the sensor changes in
relation to the air temperature inside the water
separator.

The low limit controller uses 115v ac, single phase


power for operation. It detects the temperature sensor
resistance as part of a bridge circuit. The controller

21-50-00-011.fm
balances the bridge circuit by adjustment of the air
temperature in the water separator.

AIR CONDITIONING -- TEMPERATURE CONTROL - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General Temperature bulbs in the passenger cabin and duct
monitor and send temperature data to the cabin
The temperature control system has controls and temperature controls panel. The temperature controls
indications at these panels: panel shows air temperatures and the air mix valve
position.
- Air conditioning/bleed air controls panel
- Temperature controls panel.

The temperature control system can operate when the air


conditioning packs operate. The packs operate when
there is a bleed source from the pneumatic system.

The air conditioning accessory unit (ACAU) monitors the


operation logic for the pneumatic and air conditioning
systems. It enables the temperature control system when
the air systems are serviceable.

The cabin temperature controller (CTC) receives signals


from the temperature control panel. Temperature sensors
send temperature data from the flight and passenger
compartments. The CTC sends control and operation
signals through the ACAU for automatic temperature
control.

The temperature control signals go to the air mix


valve. The air mix valve controls the amount of air
that goes to the pack or goes to heat air downstream of
the pack.

The temperature control system has overheat switches in

AIR CONDITIONING -- TEMPERATURE CONTROL - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION - AUTO
Automatic Control

When the pack switch is in the AUTO or HIGH position,


115v ac goes to the cabin temperature selector. When
the cabin temperature selector is in the AUTO position,
power goes to the cabin temperature controller (CTC).
The cabin temperature selector sets a resistance the
CTC compares to the air temperature. The CTC monitors
air temperatures from these sensors:

- Cabin temperature sensor


- Duct temperature anticipator sensor
- Duct temperature limit sensor.

The CTC compares the cabin temperature selector with


the cabin temperature sensor and duct temperature
anticipator sensor. The result is a heat or cool error
signal. If the error is more than 0.9F (0.5C), a heat
or cool signal goes to the air mix valve.

The duct temperature limit sensor provides a signal to


the CTC. When the duct temperature increases to 140F
(60C), the CTC disconnects the heat signal and sends a
cool signal to the air mix valve. If the temperature
decreases to less than 140F (60C), the air mix valve
receives a heat or cool signal.

AIR CONDITIONING -- TEMPERATURE CONTROL - DUCT OVERHEAT - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Functional Description

The air mix valve is controlled by the cabin


temperature selector in the auto or manual mode.

If the temperature in the supply duct is 190F (88C) or


more, the duct overheat switch closes. After the switch
closes, the K6 control cabin duct overheat relay is
energized to the overheat position. When K6 is in the
overheat position, this causes the relay to make these
connections:

- DUCT OVHT amber light comes on


- MASTER CAUTION and AIR COND amber lights come on
- 115v ac transfer bus 1 gives power to close the air
mix valve
- Circuit latches through the trip reset switch.

NOTE: The K20 left pack valve closed 2 relay is in the


open position when the flow control shutoff valve
is open.

To reset the circuit, all of these things must occur:

- Duct air temperature is less than 190F (88C) and


the switch opens
- Push the TRIP RESET switch on the air
conditioning/bleed air controls panel.
