Chapter 1: Air Conditioning/Pressurization Flashcards
The ram-air doors are fully open in flight under which conditions?
Slow-flight with the flaps not fully retracted.
When are the ram-air doors fully open?
On the ground or during slow flight with flaps not fully retracted.
What is the source of barometric pressure used by the pressurization system auto contollers?
The ADIRUs.
If the controller is not responding, the AUTO FAIL warning light on the Cabin Pressurization panel will illuminate if the cabin rate of descent or climb exceeds…?
± 2000 FPM
The OVHT TEST push button switch on the Bleed Air Panel tests which circuits?
The wing body overheat circuits.
The recirculation fan is powered by an AC or a DC motor?
AC motor.
How much time is required to drive the pressurization outflow valve through its full range using manual control?
20 seconds
Duct overheat detection for the left pack is located…
In the duct leading from the left pack to the Flight Deck.
What is the maximum altitude that may be set in the FLT ALT windows on the Cabin Pressurization panel?
42,000’
A BLEED TRIP OFF is caused by…
…either an over-temperature or an over-pressure condition.
If the automatic temperature controller fails, what happens to the mix valves, and can they be controlled?
The mix valves stay at the last setting and can be controlled in manual.
If the pressurization controller is not responding, the AUTO FAIL warning light on the Cabin Pressurization panel will illuminate when the cabin differential pressure exceeds…
…8.75 psi.
In normal cruise the air conditioning ram air doors…
… modulate between open and closed according to cooling requirements.
Will the APU bleed valve open when the APU bleed switch is positioned to ON?
Yes, but only if the APU is operating.
The 9th-stage bleed air valve acts as a temperature and pressure regulator or as a modulation and shut-off valve?
A modulation and shut-off valve.
If a pack valve closes, what is the effect on the respective mix valve?
The mix valve drives full cold.
What is the primary source of conditioned air for the Flight Deck?
The left pack.
The ram air system deflector doors are electrically extended…
… when activated by the ground safety sensor.
