EIU(Engine Interface Unit)
LGCIU(Landing Gear Control Interface Unit)

35
Q

Where is the outflow valve located?

A

The outflow valve is on the right hand side of fuselage,behind the aft cargo compartment and below the flotation line

36
Q

How Safety Valves operate?

A

Two independent pneumatic safety valves prevent cabin pressure from going to high (8.6 psi above ambient) or too low (1 psi below ambient)

37
Q

Where are Safety Valves located?

A

on the rear pressure bulkhead, above the flotation line

38
Q

When automatic transfer occur in CPC?

A

- if the operating system fails

39
Q

What is maximum cabin pressure?

A

A

FMGC

if not available uses captain Baro Reference form the ADIRS and the LDG ELEV selection

41
Q

CPC gets pressure altitude

A

ADIRS

42
Q

To avoid a pressure surge at rotation, the controller pre-pressurize the aircraft at rate of

A

400 feet/min, until P reaches 0.1 psi

43

56
Q

Open-circuit configuration operates in GROUND when

A

the skin temperature is ABOVE the on-ground threshold

+12’C increasing or +9’C decreasing

57
Q

Closed-circuit configuration operates in Ground when

A

the skin temperature is BENEATH the on-ground threshold:

+12’C increasing or +9’C decreasing

58
Q

Closed-circuit configuration operates in Flight when

A

the skin temperature is BENEATH the in flight threshold

+35’C increasing or +32’C decreasing

59
Q

Intermediate configuration operates in Flight when

A

the skin temperature is ABOVE the in flight threshold

+35’C increasing or +32’C decreasing

60
Q

What happen if BLOWER or the EXTRACT pb switch is set at the OVRD position

A

the system is in closed-circuit configuration and adds air from the air conditioning system to the ventilation air

61
Q

What happen if BLOWER pb switch is set at the OVRD position

A

The blower fan is stopped and the extract fan continues to run

62
Q

What happen if EXTRACT pb switch is set at the OVRD position

A

The extract fan is controlled directly from the push button, BOTH fans continue to run

63
Q

How battery ventilation works?

A

A venturi in the skin of the aircraft draws air from the space around the batteries and vent it overboard.

64
Q

How lavatory and galley ventilation works?

A

An extraction fan draws ambient cabin air through the lavatories and galleys and exhausts it near the outflow valve.

65
Q

The cargo pressure regulating valve is

Pneumatically operated and electrically controlled

66
Q

if the inlet temperature exceeds 70’C

A

the controller closes the trim air valve

67
Q

if the inlet temperature exceeds 88’C
