Air Conditioning Flashcards
where is the flight deck air sourced from
left pack outflow upstream of the mix manifold
what air is delivered to the mix manifold
- excess air from the left pack
- right pack
- air from recirculation system
what is a single pack operating in high flow capable of pressurizing the cabin to
41,000’
how many packs is the APU capable of supplying
- on ground = 2
- in flight = 1
how many packs can be supplied by 1 engine bleed system
1
when does the ram air inlet door fully open
- on ground
- slow flight with flaps out
when in cruise, in what position are the ram air inlets doors
modulate between open and close
what are the deflector doors’ purpose
installed forward of the ram air inlet doors to prevent slush ingestion during takeoff and landing
what controls the deflector doors
air-ground safety sensor
what controls the pack temperature control valves
electronic controllers command the pack temperature control valves to satisfy the demands
what happens if the primary pack control fails
affected pack is controlled by the standby pack in the opposite controller
what happens if the primary and standby pack controls fail for the same pack
the pack will continue to operate without control unless excessive temperatures cause the pack to trip off
what indications occur when a primary OR standby pack control fails
- PACK
- MC
- AIR COND system annunciator during recall
what indications occur when the primary AND standby pack controls fail for the same pack
- PACK
- MC
- AIR COND system annunciator
how many temperature control zones are there
3:
- flight deck (CONT CAB)
- FWD
- AFT
what are the selectable temperature ranges for each zone
18 - 30
how is the temperature modulated for each zone
- packs output lowest temperature demand
- each zone receives trim air to the respective zone supply ducts controlled by the trim air modulating valves
how is the temperature controlled in single pack operation (with trim air)
same as dual pack operation
how is the temperature controlled in single pack operation (no trim air)
pack output temperature will try command the average of all 3 zones
what happens if a zone supply duct overheat occurs
- “ZONE TEMP” light will illuminate
- associated trim air modulating valve will automatically shut
- reset is possible after the zone supply duct cools and the “TRIP RESET” button is pressed
