  • System switch to Blower fault config
24
Q

What happen when EXTRACT pb set to OVRD ?

A
  • Extract fan and Blower fan both run
  • System switch to Extract fault config
25
Q

How can the system alert the crew, if there is smoke in avionic bay ?

A
  • Fault light on Blower and Extract pb illuminate
  • SMOKE lt on GEN 1 LINE pb illuminate
  • ECAM alert mess
26
Q

Which light illuminate when there is a controller failure ?

Avionic ventilation system

A

FAULT lt of BLOWER and EXTRACT pbs

27
Q

What to do when there is a controller failure ?

Avionic ventilation system

A

Set both Blower and Extract to OVRD

28
Q

What happen when EXTRACT pb and BLOWER pb set to OVRD ?

A
  • Blower fan stop, exctract fan run
  • System is the same as smoke config except skin air inlet valve, skin exchange inlet valve and skin exchange isolation valve open
29
Q

What happen when EXTRACT pb and BLOWER pb set to OVRD and smoke is detected in avionic bay ?

A
  • Blower fan stop, exctract fan run

30
Q

How are batteries ventilated ?

A

A venturi in the skin of a/c draws air from the space around the batteries and vent it outboard

31
Q

How are lavatories and galleys ventilated ?

A

An extraction fan drawn ambiet cabin air through lavatories and galleys and exhausts it near the outflow valve
