Inspect And Operate An Air Cycle Cooling System Flashcards
Where does the warm air come from that is used to heat the cabin of a large jet transport aircraft?
Warm engine compressor bleed air is used
Where is the first place the hot compressor bleed air gives up some of its heat in an air-cycle cooling system?
In the primary heat exchanger
What is the function of the air-cycle machine in an air-cycle cooling system?
The centrifugal compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the bleed air
Why must air-cycle air conditioning systems incorporate a water separator?
The rapid cooling of the air in the expansion turbine causes moisture to condense in the form of fog.
How is the temperature of the air produced by an air-cycle cooling system controlled?
By a temperature control valve which mixes hot engine compressor bleed air with cold air from the expansion turbine
