Q

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

EITHER FWD or AFT CAB temperature selectors positioned OFF

A

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

  • the temperature control system will not attempt to control the affected zone
  • when one is selected to OFF, both packs will be commanded to supply a temperature to the zone requiring the highest cooling demand of the CONT CAB and the active passenger CAB
17
Q

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

BOTH FWD & AFT CAB temperature selectors positioned OFF

A

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

  • both packs will be controlled to the temperature demand of the CONT CAB zone only
18
Q

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

All three cabin temp selectors positioned OFF

A

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

  • the controllers will control the left pack to maintain a fixed temperature of 24°C and the right pack to maintain a fixed temperature of 18°C
19
Q

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

During single pack operation with TRIM AIR selected OFF what temperature will the pack command?

A

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

Pack attempts to produce air temp to satisfy average temperature demands of all three zones

20
Q

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

If a primary pack controller fails, what happens?

A

AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURISATION PANEL

The affected pack is controlled by the standby pack control in the opposite controller
