A300/A310 Wing Anti-Ice System

DESCRIPTION

A Flow Limiting Restrictor is fitted down stream of each valve.

Ice Protection System for the wings is ensured by heating the leading
edge of the Center Slats (Slat Number 2)(Outboard Half) and the leading
edge of the Outer Slats (Slat Number 3)(Full Length). Hot Bleed air,
supplied by the Engines (Engines 1 and 2) or the APU (Up to 15,000
feet), is ducted in each wing from the fixed leading edge supply duct into
the outer slat through a telescopic tube.

When WING ANTI ICE SUPPLY is switched ON, a signal is passed to

the Pneumatic System which increases the hot air temperature at the
Precooler outlet 227 Degrees Celsius (441F) instead of 177 Degrees
Celsius (351F), and if operating on APU. Bleed Air, the APU Bleed Air
flow will be increased.
If, during operation, an Anti-Ice Valve fails to OPEN the other valve can
be selected for operation. Without Electrical or Pneumatic Supply the
valves are springloaded to the CLOSED position.

The Hot Bleed Air is then distributed along this slat by a piccolo tube and
also into the Center Slat piccolo tube by a flexible connection across the
slats gap. Finally the Hot Bleed Air, after heating the concerned slats,
exhausts overboard through vent holes distributed along the slat rear
skin.

The Wing Anti-Ice Valves will CLOSE automatically if:

Either Engine FIRE Handle is pulled while the AIR BLEED X-FEED
valve is CLOSED
The Main Landing Gear Shock Absorbers (Struts) are compressed
(Weight on Wheels)

Each wing is equipped with two Anti-Ice Shutoff Valves (Solenoid

Controlled and Pneumatically Operated) (NORMAL and ALTERNATE)
are arranged in parallel position.

On the ground, by the Landing Gear Shock Absorber Torque Links

(Weight on Wheels), if the Wing Anti-Ice System is selected ON ,
overheating of the Slat Number 2 and 3 structure is prevented by means
of a Time Delay Relay which limits the Anti-Ice Valve opening time to 10
seconds during the Test Operation of the system..

With Engine Bleed Air Supply, only one valve is active, as selected
With APU Bleed Air Supply, both valves are active regardless of
mode selection

A31-200/PW JT9D-7R4/15

TH

TH

Stage HP Compressor

Air from the Nose Cowl Leading Edge is exhausted overboard of the Air
Intake through a single port at the bottom of the Nose Cowl Assembly.
When an Nose Cowl Anti-Ice Valve is OPEN, a signal is passed to the
Thrust Control Computer, which decreases the thrust limit relative to
ambient conditions, engine operating conditions and anti-ice bleed load.
If, while the engine is operating, the electrical power supply, fails, the
Nacelle Nose Cowl Anti-Ice Valve OPENS.

Nacelle Nose Cowl Air Intake - CF6 Engine Anti-Ice Valve

This is a normally-open valve with solenoid controlled shutoff. Valve inlet
air pressure is routed through a filter to the reference pressure regulator,
passes around the metering valve of the regulator and is sensed on the
underside of the regulator diaphragm.

Manual override is provided by applying torque to the hexagon shaft and

rotating in the desired direction to open or close. When the desired
position has been reached, the spring-loaded detent automatically locks
the shaft.

When this sensed pressure reaches the desired level, the spring force is
overcome and the metering valve moves toward the seat to maintain the
reference regulator output pressure at a constant level.

Visual position indication is provided as well as electrical position

indication at the valve open and close positions.

Front Windshield Wiper System - Component Description

DESCRIPTION
Two wipers are available; one for the Left Windshield Pane (Captain) and
one for the Right Windshield Pane (First Officer).

Each wiper system consists of the following components:

The two wipers are independently actuated through two-speed electric

motors controlled by the WIPER Rotary Control Switches located on the
Flight Compartment Overhead Panel 429VU.
The wipers have a parking position clear of the area of visibility. The
wiper blades are slightly lifted from the windshield face to avoid sand
accumulation which could cause scratching of the windshield.

Drain Mast Ice Protection

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Waste water from the Lavatory A Wash Basin (Sink) is dumped
overboard through the Forward Drain Mast located on the forward belly
area of the fuselage. To prevent ice formation in or around the drain
mast, electrical heating is provided both on the Ground and in the Air (In
Flight).

Lavatory A Drain Mast is an electrically heated tube, shrouded by an

aerodynamically shaped, cast aluminum fairing.

The Drain Mast have decals located on each side of the mast to identify
the mast is heated and could be HOT (Depending on the System
Configuration while in the GROUND MODE) The Drain Mast Circuit
Breaker can be pulled to deactivate the mast heating circuit during
Ground Parking and/or Maintenance Conditions. The words HOT on
each side of the Drain Mast are in Red Color

In Flight 115 VAC is routed to a Rectifier which supplies the heating

element with 100 VDC / + 3 VDC.

The Heating Element is rated at 285 Watts. On the Ground it is supplied

with 28 VAC from an Autotransformer.

On the Ground the Heating Element can be operated using 115 VAC for
a maximum of Five (5) minutes.

The plumbing system carries waste water from Lavatory A

Compartment Wash Basin (Sink) to Lower Forward Drain Mast located
on 'the outer skin of the aircraft.
