Hydraulic and Pressurization Systems Overview

The document discusses several aircraft systems including hydraulic, pressurization, air conditioning, and pneumatic systems. It describes the components, functions, and operation of each system. The hydraulic system uses liquid pressure to perform mechanical work. The pressurization system increases cabin pressure and maintains a safe differential pressure. The air conditioning system uses bleed air and cooling cycles to control aircraft temperature. The pneumatic system uses bleed air from engines to power other systems.

Hydraulic system
) System philosophy :
Use the pressure of a liquid to form mechanical work .
) Hydraulic system Components :
• Hydraulic fluid :
Is the kind of oil approved by aircraft .
• Hydraulic fluid reservoir :
Is the tank, there are 3 reservoirs, 2 main and 1 standby all 3
reservoirs pressurized from pneumatic manifold .
• Hydraulic pumps :
Engine driven and electrical pumps both press output 3000 psi
but at different rates .
• Power transfer unit ( PTU ) :
Acts as back up unit consists of hydraulic motor and pump .
• Valves :
Regulate oil pressure, direct oil flow, release pressure prevent
the liquid from flowing in reverse direction .
• Pressure lines :
Pipeline network, transferring pressure hydraulic return lines .
• Heat Exchanger :
Cooling agent, located in main fuel tank .
• Actuators :
Formed of cylinder and piston, which force oil one side of
piston depending on direction required .
) Hydraulic needs :
Aileron – elevator – rudder .
Thrust reverses .
Brakes, autopilot .
Landing gear extension and retraction .
Yaw damper .

) Main system :
- 2 main system designed by No 1 or A .
- each system is independently designed .
- each main system is responsible to supply certain users or sharing
other main system supply in some essential user [ Aileron, elevator,
Rudder ] .

) Control and Indicators :


- On over head panel in cockpit .
- new generation single screen .
• Light and indicator :
Blue or Green light indicate normal operation amber for any
malfunction or abnormal operation .
) Loss of one main system :
- indicate by main system pressure indicate Zero illumination of :
4 master caution light .
4 Flight control and HYD. Cont light .
4 main system low pressure light .

Pressurization system
) Purpose :
- To increase cabin pressure to lower cabin altitude .
- Cabin altitude decrease by modulating outflow valve to close
position increase by modulating valve to open position .
Differential pressure = cabin pressure – ambient pressure
) System components :
1 – Pressurization controllers ( auto semi out )
control cabin to required altitude by control outflow valve .
2 – Out flow valve :
Executes position required by pressurization control .
a ) Positive pressure relief valve :
It prevent differential pressure from exceeding value by
allowing air to exit .
b ) Negative pressure relief valve :
It prevent external pressure from exceeding internal
pressure .
) Typical pressurization system :
• Automatic mode :
4 After engine start :
Auto controller the cabin to about 200 ft below takeoff field
altitude .
Which help to :
1 – make the transion to pressurization flight more
gradually and crew .
2 – Give the system better response to pressure change
during takeoff .
4 During Flight :
Auto controller sence the aircraft altitude and maintain pressure
difference .
4 Before landing :
The controller cabin 200 ft below landing field altitude to
prevent pressure change for passenger comfort .
3
Adel El Feky

4 Normal procedures :
during cockpit preparation cruise altitude is set to flight altitude
counter destination airport altitude is set to land altitude counter .
4 After engine start :
Cabin is pressurized 200 ft below takeoff field altitude
4 After airborne and during climb :
Maintain proportional pressure difference between aircraft
altitude and cabin altitude at rate 300 – 500 ft/min .
4 Cruise :
Controller maintain normal difference in pressure .
4 Descent :
Maintain 200 ft below landing field with cabin rate 300 ft/min .

Air conditioning system


) Bleed air from engine or APU :
Bleed air from engine or APU

Pack valve Control anount of air entre pack .

Cooling cycle

Air pass

Heat exchanges Use rame air flow

Compressor air to increase


Compressor air cycle machine
temp.

To increase efficiency of air


Secondary heat exchanger
cycle machine .

Turbine air cycle machine Expand air for fueter cooling .

Use centrifugal force for moisture


Water separation removing .

Maxing valve

- An over heated air cycle machine or turbine inlet the pack


valve close automatically with warning light
- If one pack fail during flight the other one capabeal for temp.

Pneumatic system
- Use air power to " drive or power " port of system or how we can use
some of the jet engine generated air to supply various system .
) System components :
• Bleed air valves :
Acts as pressure regulator, shut off valve also reduce pneumatic
out flow in high temp. ducts .
• Bleed trip sensors :
Close the respective engine bleed air valve automatically in
response to any temp. – pressure increase .
• Pre-cooler :
Heat exchanger pre-cools the engine bleed air use cold fan air .
• Pneumatic ducts :
Air pipe network ( left and right side ) joining all bleed sources
with their consumer .
• Starter valve :
Allow engine start using pneumatic pressure from any source .
• Isolation valve :
Isolate the left and right sides of pneumatic manifold during
normal operation .
Needs for :
Wing and engine thermal anti-icing
Engine starting
Air conditioning and pressurization .
) 3 sources :
1 – engine bleed system :
Engine bleed vale ( pressure regulator )

Pre cooler ( heat exchanger ) Use engine fan air

Thermostatic pre cooler valve ducted

2 – APU bleed system :


Is supplied before engine start on ground to supply various
system until engine start .
3 – Ground air source :
Alternate pneumatic source is provided via pneumatic ground
source .
