CHAPTER 2AIR CONDITIONING

AND PRESSURIZATION

GENERAL

The environmental control system (ECS) provides conditioned air tothe occupied areas and to the avionics cooling systems. Cockpitinstrument panels are cooled via forced ventilation of cabin air.Cabin pressurization is automatically regulated by two outlfowvalves on the rear pressure bulkhead.

The pneumatic, air conditioning, and pressurization controls arelocated on the respective overhead BLEED AIR, AIR CONDI-TIONING, and CABIN PRESS panels. ECS caution and warningalerts are presented on the engine indication and crew alerting sys-tem (EICAS) primary display. ECS advisory and status messagesare presented on the EICAS secondary display.

Cockpit and cabin temperature and pressure information are shownby synoptic diagrams on the EICAS secondary display, which areaccessed by selecting the ECS page on the EICAS control panel(Figure 2-1).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

The pneumatic system supplies bleed air for the following uses:

Engine starting (from the 10th stage engine compressors or,APU up to 13,000 feet). A ground cart delivering high pres-sure air can also be used for engine starting.

Thrust reversers (from the 14th stage engine compressors)

Engine and wing ice protection (from the 14th stage enginecompressors).

Air conditioning and avionics cooling (from the 10th stageengine compressors or, the APU while on ground and up to15,000 feet). A ground cart supplying conditioned air canalso be used for cabin heating or cooling. Ground air pressureis displayed at the left and right 10th-stage pressure readoutson the ECS page. There is no pressure readout on the ECSpage when the airplane is operating with DC power only.

Pneumatic 10th-stage and 14th-stage bleed air flow is controlled bythe respective shutoff valves via the BLEED AIR panel.

A leak detection system monitors the 10th- and 14th-stage duct sys-tems for bleed-air leaks. If a leak is detected, visual warnings appearon the overhead control panel and the EICAS and accompanied byaural warnings. The affected duct is isolated by closing the shutoffvalve. The bleed-air leak detection system can be tested via theDUCT MON switch on the BLEED AIR panel.

AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM

The air-conditioning system provides ventilation and temperatureregulation in the occupied areas. The system consists of two inde-pendent air-conditioning packs and a ram-air ventilation system.The air-conditioning packs (air cycle machines with related controlvalves and monitoring) normally work in parallel to accomplishcompartment temperature control.

Each pack (Figure 2-2) is normally supplied bleed air from theonside engine. The APU directly feeds the left pack. Bleed air flowto each pack is controlled by a pressure regulating shutoff valvewhich is controlled by the respective pack switchlights on the AIRCONDITIONING panel. An isolation valve interconnects the pneu-matic bleed air sources so that either engine or the APU can supplyboth packs. The isolation valve is controlled by the 10th-stage ISOLswitchlight on the BLEED AIR panel.

The left pack primarily supplies the flight compartment (70%) andsupplements the flow to the passenger cabin (30%). The right packprimarily supplies the cabin (70%) and supplements the flow to theflight compartment (30%). Either pack can simultaneously supplyconditioned air to both compartments.

Regulation of the output temperature of each pack is accomplishedby the respective temperature control valve which regulates bleedair bypass around the air cycle machine (ACM). Bleed air bypassingthe ACM retains its heat as it is routed to the compartments. Bleedair passing through the ACM is cooled. The temperature controlvalve modulates as necessary to blend bypassed hot air with cooledACM air to achieve the selected temperature.

The cooling efficiency of each air conditioning pack is enhanced byram air cooling via a heat exchanger. Ram air enters through aninlet at the base of the vertical stabilizer and passes through thepack heat exchangers and then exits overboard. In case of failure ofboth packs, ram air can be used as the sole source of ventilation.This is accomplished by opening the ram-air valve via the RAMAIR switch. Ram air then enters the occupied areas through thenormal vents.

The flight compartment and the cabin have independent operatingtemperature control systems which control operation of the respec-tive pack. Temperature control can be accomplished in automaticmode or manual mode. In automatic mode, the desired temperatureis selected by the temperature control knobs on the AIR CONDI-TIONING panel. Selected temperature is relative to knob positionwhich is rotated between COLD and HOT labels. Manual modeselection requires that the respective HOT-COLD switch be actuatedin the desired direction. Manual mode temperature below 3°C mayresult in icing of the pack water separator and subsequent cycling ofpack output. During manual mode, if duct temperature reaches85°C, the pack shuts down, and the EICAS displays a PACK HITEMP caution message.

Overtemperature and overpressure conditions in either pack areindicated on the EICAS displays and the switchlights on the AIR-CONDITIONING panel.

The conditioned air to the flight compartment is distributed to theside console panels, gaspers and vents, and avionics units within theinstrument panel. Dedicated fans and ducts direct conditioned airover the flight compartment display units. Conditioned air to thecabin is distributed from ducts along each side of the aircraft.Exhaust air from both areas is routed underfloor to the pressuriza-tion outflow valves on the aft pressure bulkhead.

AVIONICS COOLING SYSTEM

The flight compartment CRTs and control panels and the underflooravionics bay are cooled by forced ventilation at all times. Cooling isaccomplished by operation of one of three fans dedicated to eachsystem. The flight compartment instrument and panel cooling iscontrolled by the DSPLY FAN knob while the avionics bay coolingis controlled by the ARINC FAN knob. Both knobs are located onthe aft pedestal.

The No. 1 fan for each system operates during flight, and the No. 2fan operates on the ground, with a standby fan for backup (DSPLYFAN) only. Automatic switching from the No. 1 to the No. 2 fanoccurs through flight/ground sensing from the weight-on-wheel(WOW) system. The respective control knob permits manual rever-sionary selections in case of fan failure.

When the airplane is on the ground, the heated air is dumpedthrough the overboard exhaust shutoff valve. When the airplane is inflight, the air is dumped through the inboard exhaust shutoff valve tothe aft underfloor area and expelled through the outflow valves. Theoperation of the exhaust shutoff valves is monitored by the EICAS.

CARGO BAY AIR CONDITIONING

The cargo bay air conditioning system controls temperature in thecargo bay. The cargo compartment receives conditioned and recircu-lated air from the passenger compartment (Figure 2-3). The air ispulled into the cargo compartment by the fan and check valveassembly. An electric heater in the supply duct supplements heatingas necessary.

GROUND AIR CONNECTION

High Pressure

An external high pressure ground power cart can be used to supplythe pneumatic system with a high pressure (HP) compressed sourcefor engine starting.

Compressed air at the HIGH PRESSURE AIR GROUND CON-NECTION panel (Figure 2-4), feeds through the 10th-stagemanifold and duct system. Flight compartment indications ofground air pressure are at the left/right 10th-stage manifold pressurereadouts on the ECS page. There is no pressure readout on the ECSpage when the airplane is operating with DC power only.

Low Pressure

An external low pressure ground power cart can be used for airconditioning.

Low pressure (LP) compressed air at the LOW PRESSURE AIRGROUND CONNECTION panel feeds directly into the cabin distri-bution system.

PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM

The pressurization system controls the escape of conditioned airfrom the occupied areas. Cabin altitude is normally limited to 8.6psid maximum. At maximum differential, cabin altitude is approxi-mately 8,000 while at FL 410. Cabin altitude rate of change islimited to 500 fpm while ascending and 300 fpm while descending.Pressurization is normally controlled automatically by two pressur-ization controllers which regulate the opening of two outflow valveson the rear pressure bulkhead. All pressurization controls and indi-cations are located on the CABIN PRESS panel and EICAS,respectively (Figure 2-6).

The pressurization system includes two identical controllers. Onlyone controller is active at any time. In case of controller failure, thestandby controller automatically assumes pressurization control. Incase of failure of both controllers, pressurization may be manuallycontrolled.

The pressurization system includes a cabin pressure acquisitionmodule (CPAM) which generates cabin altitude and rate of change,and differential pressure for indication on the EICAS. The CPAMalso triggers automatic deployment of the passenger oxygen maskswhen cabin altitude reaches 14,000 feet and illumination of the seatbelt and no smoking signs when cabin altitude reaches 10,000 feet,

with auto mode selected for the signs. In case of CPAM failure, thestandby pressurization controller generates the above indications. Insuch case, the oxygen masks do not automatically deploy and thesigns do not automatically illuminate.

During automatic mode, pressurization is controlled in accordancewith four phases of operation (flight):

Ground phase. Both outflow valves are full open to preventany cabin pressurization.

Takeoff phase. When the thrust levers are advanced to take-off, the cabin pressurizes to 150 feet below airport elevation.

If the thrust levers are subsequently retarded (aborted take-off), the cabin depressurizes at 500 fpm for 20 seconds.Thereafter, the outflow valves remain full open.

If the airplane maintains an altitude of 6,000 feet or lessabove the takeoff airport elevation, and then beginsdescent at 1,000 fpm or more, the system assumes thelanding elevation is the departure airport elevation. Thisprevents the crew from having to reset the landing eleva-tion during an emergency return.

Climb/Cruise phase. Cabin pressurization is maintained inaccordance with the cabin altitude vs. airplane altitude sched-ule programmed in the automatic controllers. During descent,cabin altitude decreases at 300 fpm to either landing elevationor maximum differential, whichever is higher. When the land-ing elevation exceeds 8,000 feet, cabin altitude is maintained atmaximum differential until the airplane descends at which timethe cabin altitude increases to the set landing elevation.

Landing phase. The cabin altitude decreases below field ele-vation, then increases at 500 fpm for 60 seconds. Thereafter,the outflows are maintained full open.

Manual pressurization is accomplished via the MAN ALT and MANRATE controls on the CABIN PRESS panel. Transition to manualmode is controlled by the PRESS CONTROL switch. In this mode,cabin altitude is controlled by the MAN ALT lever which operates a3-way valve. The valve ports pressure or vacuum to the outflowvalves which causes them to close and open, respectively. Cabinaltitude and rate of change are shown on the EICAS.

The outflow valves are electrically controlled (by signals from thepressurization controller) and pneumatically operated. In automaticoperation, the left outflow valve is the master and the right outflowis slaved. In manual operation, the right outflow is the primary andthe left is secondary. Open and close signals from the controllercause opening of the pressure or vacuum metering valve inside eachoutflow valve. Pressure from the pneumatic system causes the out-flow valves to close while vacuum opens the valves. Vacuum isdeveloped by porting pneumatic pressure through a jet pump.

Each outflow valve independently limits cabin pressure to 8.6 psidvia an integral positive pressure limiting valve. Negative pressure islimited by a integral negative pressure relief valve to .5 psid. Eachoutflow valve also incorporates a maximum altitude limiter whichlimits cabin altitude to approximately 14,250 ±750 independent ofthe controller signals. The altitude limiters also limit cabin altitudeto approximately 14,250 ±750 feet after emergency depressurizationhas been selected on the EMER DEPRESS switchlight.
