Q

What does the Nitrogen Inerting Unit (NIU) do with IPAS air?

A

The NIU cools, dries, and removes oxygen from IPAS air then routes it to the fuel cells to inhibit explosive vapor build up.

Q

Which component limits maximum normal bleed air supply temperature to 450ºF (231ºC)?

A

The bleed air precooler limits maximum normal bleed air supply temperature to 450°F (232°C) by utilizing a 115 Vac vane-axial fan to provide cooling air flow across the heat transfer surface.

Q

When does the APU load control valve open during APU starts?

A

Closed during the initiation of the APU start sequence and opens when the ECU determines that the APU has reached 95% speed.

Q

At what temperature does the overtemperature switch close?

A

The switch closes at 490°F (253°C), sending a signal to the MP which activates an advisory for display on the EUFD. The switch opens at 450°F minimum (231°C), removing the advisory message from the EUFD.

17
Q

What is mounted directly on the engines at the low-pressure bleed air port and connects to the IPAS ducting leading to the engine bleed air PRSOVs?

A

Low-pressure Venturi

18
Q

What is the primary pneumatic power source for the Integrated Pressurized Air System (IPAS)?

A

Engines 1 and 2

19
Q

What is the secondary pneumatic power source for the IPAS?

A

A single running engine

20
Q

What is used for external air source for the IPAS?

A

APU when performing ground operations. AGPU when APU or engine operation is not possible, required, or desired.

21
Q

What is the function of the Low Pressure Venturi?

A

Connects from the engine to the IPAS ducting leading to the engine bleed air Presure Regulator Shutoff Valve (PRSOV)

22
Q

What is the function of the Engine Bleed Air Pressure Regulator Shutoff Valve (PRSOV)?

A

Reduces incoming air pressure from 45 - 55 PSIG to 25 +/- 3 PSIG

23
Q

What is the function of the Flow Share Sense Line?

A

Interconnects the PRSOVs to ensure both engines are supplying an equal amount of bleed air.

Keeps the PRSOVs synchronized.

24
Q

What is the function of the Engine/ APU Bleed Air Check Valves?

A

Keep bleeding air flowing in one direction to prevent backflow

25
Q

Define manifold

A

A manifold is something that distributes bleed air

26
Q

The PRSOVs have a second name that appears on the aircraft utility (UTIL) page. What are they?

A

Bleed Air 1 and 2

27
Q

What is the function of the Bleed Air Precooler?

A

Receives air and holds it to 450*F

28
Q

What is the function of the Precooler Bypass Temperature Thermostat?

A

Cools air downstream of the Precooler to below 450*F

29
Q

What is the function of the Precooler Bypass Control Valve?

A

In cold operating conditions allows IPAS air to Precooler to allow system to reach normal operating temperatures quickly

30
Q

What is the function of the Bleed Air Over-temperature Switch?

A

Monitors IPAS air temp. Closes at 490F (253C) and opens at 450F (231C).

When closed, Bleed Air Hot advisory displays on EUFD.

31
Q

What is the function of the APU Load Control Valve?

A

Allows APU bleed air into IPAS manifold after APU reaches 95% speed.

32
Q

What is the ATS and what is its function?

A

ATS = Air Turbine Starter

Uses pneumatic Energy (IPAS Air) to turn the power shaft for starting or motoring the main engines

At 52% Ng ATS shuts down

33
Q

What is the function of the ATS PRSOV?

A

Controls IPAS air flow and pressure into the ATS. Commanded by the MP

34
Q

What is the function of the Fuel System Pressure Regulator?

A

Regulates incoming IPAS air from manifold (25 +/- 3 PSIG) to 19 +/- 3 PSIG for fuel boost
