Pneumatics And Airconditioning Flashcards
What part of the air cycle machine where air is expanded and cooled
Turbine
Sources of pneumatics in flight
Engine, APU
Used to regulate engine bleed air pressure
Bleed valve
Used to distribute pneumatics
Pneumatic ducts
Where are the pressurized zones
Cockpit, cabin, cargo, avionics compartment
Where are the unpressurized area
Landing gear bays, radome, tail cone
Different functions of air conditioning system
Cools, pressurizes, heats, ventilates
What is the reasonable cabin altitude
8,000 ft
What regulates the supply of pressure that correspond to the flight altitude
Outflow valve
Computer that regulates the amount of trim air that is mixed with the called air that flows out through the pack
Zone controller
Computer that regulates the temperature of the cold air that gives the pack
Pack controller
Cooling device that is considered to be very effective
Heat exchanger
Cooling device that is used when engine bleed air is not available
Vapor cycle machine
Cooling device that is used in most jet aircraft
Air cycle machine
Recirculation system consist of
Filter, check valve, fan
What are the different components of the air cycle machine
Turbine, compressor, fan
Used to minimize the amount of ozone in the cabin that can harm person
Ozone converter
Control valve that determines the amount of air going to the cabin
Pack flow control valve
Part of the air cycle machine that causes the air to expand causing the pressure and temperature to decrease
Turbine
What are the negative effects of water in the cabin?
Corrosion and discomfort
Where can we see the pack controllers?
Located in the avionics compartment
Distribute cold air from the pack to different zones in the cabin
Mixing unit
What are the 2 different ways to distribute cold air to the cockpit?
Directly from the pack or by aerodynamic way
Supplies ambient air to pack when all packs fail
Emergency ram air inlet
This allows individual control of all zones
Trim air valve
System that remove hot, humid, and stale air
Ventilation system / extraction fan
Different cargo compartment types for air conditioning
Ventilated, nonventilated, heated, and unheated
How to ventilate cargo compartments
Blower fan and extraction fan
How to heat cargo compartment
Bleed air or electrical heaters
Ways to cool avionics compartment
a.) Heat exchanger (using aircraft skin)
b.) Extractor valve (nilalabas yung init)
c.) Discharged cabin air (pinapasok ung cold air from cabin)
Cabin rate that we shouldn’t exceed
+500 ft and -300 ft
This means that pressure in the cabin is lower than the ambient pressure
Negative differential pressure
