Q

Where is bleed air tapped from the engine?

A
  • 6th and 10th stage compressors (EBV and HSV respectively)

- System alternates between valves to regulates and adequate and safe pressure.

Q

Do both loops have to function in order to detect on overheat condition?

16
Q

How many ECS packs are on the airplane? What provides air for the packs?

A
  • 2 independent packs (left & right)

- Each engine provides bleed air to its respective pack

17
Q

Can a single pack provide adequate temperature control and pressurization?

A
  • Yes, up to FL310
18
Q

Can a single bleed source power both packs?

A

Yes, up to FL310

19
Q

What is the ratio of fresh air to recirculation air?

A
  • 52% fresh air to 48% recirculated
20
Q

When are the recirculation fans commanded off?

A
  • Cockpit switch
  • Smoke detected in the record bay
  • DUMP button is pressed
  • Respective pack is commanded off
21
Q

What keeps the 3 avionic E-BAY’s cool?

A
  • FWD & CTR E-BAY 3 fans each pull air from cabin to bay

- AFT E-BAY natural air-flow from cabin to bay

22
Q

When is the Emergency Ram Air Ventilation activated?

A
  • Both packs commanded or failed OFF below 25,000 ft (via left side and electronically controlled)
  • Ram air pressure greater than cabin pressure (via right side)
23
Q

How many channels on the cabin pressure control (CPC)?

A

2 Channels, one active and one in standby mode

24
Q

Where dose the CPC get Landing Field Elevation (LFE)?

A
  • FMS or can be manually selected
25
Q

What happens when the dump button is pressed?

A
  • Commands both ECS packs off

- Opens OFV and raises the cabin to 12,400 ft at a rate of 2,000 FPM

26
Q

Can the cabin altitude be raised hight then 12,400 ft?

A
  • Yes, by using manual mode

- Cabin altitude will rise due to natural leak

27
Q

In manual mode will the cabin depressurize on landing?

A

NO

28
Q

What is the bleed system priority in flight?

A
  • Onside engine
  • Opposite side engine
  • APU (if available)
29
Q

If engine and APU bleed air are available simultaneously, which has priority?

A
  • APU has priority if
    • Aircraft is on the ground
    • Wheel speed < 50 kts
    • Opposite engine bleed pressure is not enough for engine start
30
Q

When will the crossbreed valve automatically open?

A
  • Only one side bleed source is available
  • Engine 2 start in the air
  • Engine 1 start in the air if APU is not available
31
Q

What are some things that will close the ECS packs?

A
  • Any engine start if APU is the bleed source
  • Engine start on the ground
  • Respective bleed system duct leak
  • Bleed air source not available for the pack
  • TL set to MAX on takeoff
  • REF A/I set to ALL on takeoff
  • REF ECS set to OFF on MCDU (APU is OFF)
32
Q

When are ECS packs recovered?

A
  • TL not at MAX, and
    • Airplane is 500 AFE with both engines operating
    • Airplane is > 9,700 MSL with one engine operating
33
Q

What happens if smoke is detected in the recirculation bay?

A
  • Both record fans deactivate
  • Cargo record fan deactivates
  • Cargo outflow valve closes
34
Q

Where does the CPCS get cruise flight live & landing elevation from?

A
  • FMS before takeoff or CPCS calculates using ambient pressure
  • LFE may be manually inputted
35
Q

What color is the LFE on the EICAS?

A
  • Green FMS input

- Cyan Manual input (an M will be in front of LFE)

36
Q

What is the ABORT mode?

A
  • Cabin is scheduled back to the takeoff altitude if
    • Airplane stop climbing and begins a descent, and
    • Airplane has not climbed > 5,000 AFE or > 10,000 MSL
