Q

ATA 21Automatic pressurization law

A

• CPC uses:- Landing elevation and QNH from FMGC- Pressure altitude from ADIRS• Pressurization schedule:- Ground: . Before takeoff / 55 s after landing . Outflow valve fully opens to ensure that there is noresidual cabin pressure- Take Off, CPC pressurizes at ΔP 0.1 PSI to avoid a pressure surge at rotation- Climb, Cabin altitude varies according to a fixed pre-programmed law that takes into account the aircraft’s actual rate of climb- Cruise, Cabin altitude is kept at the level-off value, or at the landing field elevation, whichever is higher- Descent: . Cabin rate of descent used to get cabin pressure equal to landing field pressure +0.1 PSI shortly before landing . Maximum descent rate is 750 ft/min

Q

ATA 21Cabin Pressure Controllers

A

• 2 identical, independent, digital controllers automatically control the system, by maintaining proper cabin pressure• They receive signals from:- ADIRS- FMGC- EIU- LGCIU• When the system is in automatic or semi-automatic mode, 1 controller is active, the other is on standby• The controllers communicate with each other via a cross-channel link

Q

ATA 21Describe the Packs operation

A

• 2 packs operate automatically and independently of each other• Warm pre-conditioned bleed air enters via the pack flow control valve, and goes through:- The primary heat exchanger- The compressor section of the air-cycle machine where air is Compressed to a higher pressure and temperature- The main heat exchanger where air is cooled again - A water separator system where air is dried- The turbine section, where air expands and generates power to drive the compressor and the cooling air fan.The removal of energy during this process reduces air temperature, resulting in very low air temperature at turbine discharge.
