MAX POSITIVE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
MAX NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
Max pos diff 8.6 psi ( safety relief valve setting) however
9.0 is max pos diff
Max negative diff -1.0 psi
RAM INLET DOOR
If differential pressure is greater than 1.0 psi, the check valve located downstream will not open even if the ram air door has been selected open.
AIR CONDITIONING WITH LP GROUND UNIT
Do not use conditioned air simultaneously from packs and LP ground unit (to avoid chattering of the non return valves)
AIR CONDITIONING WITH HP GROUND UNIT
An external hp source may be used for air conditioning provided air supply is confirmed to be free from oil contamination. Do not use HP ground unit when APU supplies bleed air to avoid bleed system damage.
