Q

Air cycle cooling system ( systems )

• pack anti ice valve

A

Removes and prevents ice at turbine outlet and water seperator

23
Q

Air cycle cooling system ( systems )

• ram air inlet and outlet doors

A

Used to control amount of cooling airflow across the heat exchanger

24
Q

Air cycle cooling system ( systems )

• fan bypass check valve

A

It opens if amount of ram airflow is higher than the cooling fan delivers

25
Q

Where is aircraft most efficient

A

High altitude

26
Q

Cabin climb rate?

A

500 feet per minute (max)

27
Q

Descent rate?

A

300 feet per minute (max)

28
Q

How is cabin altitude measured

A

Adding ambient pressure to pressure inside aircraft

29
Q

Where is outflow valve when plane is landed?

A

Fully open

30
Q

Pressurisation control systems:

• outflow valve

A

• Modulates cabin air

31
Q

Pressurisation control systems:

• pressure controller

A

Provides control signals to the outflow valve ac motors

32
Q

Pressurisation control systems:

• control panel

A

Contains all necessary selectors and indicators for the fligjt crew to operate the pressurisation system.

33
Q

Excessive rate of cabin altitude:

A

Greater than 3100 feet per minute or descend greater than 2000 feet per minute

34
Q

Safety and warning devices:

• pressure relief valves

A

Designed to open if too much pressure difference

35
Q

Safety and warning devices:

• negative relief valves

A
  • AKA vacuum relief valves

* equalise a possible negative pressure difference duriny descent

36
Q

Safety and warning devices:

• pressure system monitoring

A
  • At 10,000 feet warning for cabin altitude

* at 14,000 oxygen masks drop

37
Q

Purpose of emergency ram system

A

Ventillate cockpit if packs fail

38
Q

Why cant air con packs be used at the same time

A

High cabin airflow may damage the air con ducts

39
Q

What component extracts cabin air

A

Evaporator

40
Q

Max pressure in aircraft is determined by?

A

Strength of cabin

41
Q

To decrease cabin altitude:

A

Outflow valves must be closed

42
Q

Purpose of pack valves
