Q

It isolates the bleed air from the Left to
Right- Wing pneumatic ducts?

A

Cross bleed valve (Airbus) or Isolation Valve (Boeing)

43
Q

Which computer controls the Isolation
Valve?

A

Pneumatic Controller (PC)

44
Q

What is the role of Bleed Valves?

A

For Pressure Regulation function, shutoff function, check valve function,
overtemperature control function

45
Q

When is the LP Valve used?

A

When the Pneumatic system is in the normal condition wherein the LP stage is sufficient source of bleed air

46
Q

Which computer controls the HP Valve?

A

Pneumatic Controller (PC)

47
Q

If there a leakage on our Pneumatics what are the indications?

A

FAULT is illuminated on the overhead
panel and Amber color + closed valves indication on the ECAM

48
Q

Does the APU Bleed Valve regulate the PSI?

A

No, it only has a shutoff function and it is controlled by Pneumatic controller and
push button S/W on the cockpit

49
Q

Computer for ducting and monitored by?

A

Pneumatic Controller and monitored by
Leak Detection system which is Loop Detector

50
Q

Where are the sources of our Pneumatic
supply?

51
Q

What are the two valves used on some aircraft for Pressure regulating system?

A

53
Q

What is the purpose of the Fan Air Valve?

A

It is used to allow more or less fan air from the engine fan duct to pass the
precooler

54
Q

What is the purpose of manual override
control in the HP Valve?

A

Locks the HP valve in a closed position
if there is a fault in the operation of the valve
