Q

Where is bleed air tapped from the engines?

A
  • 6th and 10th stage compressors (EBV and HSV respectively)

- system alternates between valves to regulate an adequate and safe pressure

Q

Do both loops have to function in order to detect an overheat condition?

A

Yes, but if one fails the other will work alone to detect the overheat.

16
Q

How many ECS packs are on the airplane? What provides air for the Packs?

A
  • 2 independent packs left and right

- each engine provides air for it’s respective packs

17
Q

Can a single pack provide adequate temperature control and pressurization?

A

Yes, up to FL310

18
Q

Can a single bleed source power both packs?

A

Yes, through the crossbreed valve

19
Q

What’s the ration of fresh air to recirculation air?

A

52% fresh, 48% recirculation

20
Q

When are the circulation fans commanded off?

A
  • Cockpit switch
  • smoke detection in the recirculation bay
  • DUMP button is pressed
  • respective pack is commanded off
21
Q

What keeps the 3 avionics E-Bays cool?

A
  • FWD and MID 3 fans each pull air from cabin

- AFT natural air flow from cabin

22
Q

When is the Emergency RAM Air Ventilation activated?

A
  • Both packs commanded or failed OFF below 25,000 ft (via left side and electronically controlled)
  • Ram air pressure greater than cabin pressure (via right side)
23
Q

How many channels on the Cabin Pressure Control (CPC)?

A

2 channels, one active and one standby

24
Q

Where does the CPC get Landing Field Elevation?

A

FMS or can be manually selected

25
Q

What happens when the dump button is pressed?

A
  • Commands both ECS packs OFF

- Opens OFV and raises the cabin to 12,400 at a rate of 2,000 FPM

26
Q

Can the cabin altitude be raised higher than 12,400?

A
  • Yes, bu using manual mode

- Cabin altitude will rise due to natural leak

27
Q

In manual mode will the cabin depressurize on landing?

A

No

28
Q

What is the bleed system priority in flight?

A
  • onside engine
  • opposite side engine
  • APU (if available)
29
Q

If engine and APU bleed air are available simultaneously, which has priority?

A

APU has priority if

  • Aircraft is on the ground
  • Wheel speed is <50 kts
  • Opposite engine bleed pressure is not enough for engine start
30
Q

When will the crossbreed valve automatically open?

A
  • Only one side bleed source is available
  • Engine 2 start in the air
  • Engine 1 start in the air IF APU IS NOT AVAILABLE
31
Q

What are some things that will close the ECS packs?

A
  • Any engine start if APU is the bleed source
  • Engine start on the ground
  • Respective bleed system duct leak
  • Bleed air source not available for the pack
  • TL set to MAX on takeoff
  • REF A/I set to ALL on takeoff
  • REF ECS set to OFF on MCDU (APU is OFF)
32
Q

When are ECS packs recovered?

A
  • TL not at MAX, and
  • Airplane is 500 AFE with both engines operating
  • Airplane is >9,700 MSL with one engine operating
33
Q

What happens if smoke is detected in the recirc bay?

A
  • Both recirc fans deactivate
  • Cargo recirc fan deactivates
  • Cargo outflow valve closes
34
Q

Where does the CPCS get cruise flight level & landing elevation from?

A
  • FMS before takeoff or CPCS calculates using ambient pressure
  • LFE may be manually inputed
35
Q

What color is the LFE on the EICAS?

A
  • Green in FMS mode

- Cyan in manual input (an M will be in front of LFE)

36
Q

What is the ABORT mode?

A
  • Cabin is scheduled back to the takeoff altitude if
    • Airplane stops climbing and begins a descent, and
    • Airplane has NOT climbed >5,000 AFE or >10,000 MSL
