3 - Heat exchanger
4 - Turbine
5 - Fan by-pass check valve
6 - Fan
The purpose of the PACKS is to supply the cold manifold.

Have a look at the different components involved in the pack.
PACK OPERATION ON GROUND

Hot air from the flow control valve is delivered to the pack.
During the start sequence the compressor inlet pressure is higher than the compressor
outlet pressure, therefore air goes to the heat exchanger through the compressor
by-pass check valve.
The turbine rotates, driving the compressor and the fan, and the air is expanded.
The fan draws air through the heat exchanger.
During operation, the compressor outlet pressure becomes higher than the inlet
pressure, therefore the check valve closes and the air is passed through the compressor.

26
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
PACK OPERATION IN FLIGHT

Ram air ensures an upstream fan pressure higher than the downstream fan pressure.
This causes the fan by-pass check valve to be opened and the fan to be by-passed.
A turbine by-pass valve and outlet flap driven by an electric actuator allows the pack
outlet temperature to be adjusted.
OUTLET TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
Coldest required temperature selected on the control panel and temperature pack outlet
sensor signals are routed to the pack controller.
Pack controller elaborates a signal to control the actuator (ACT).
Example : Hotter air is required at the pack outlet.
The actuator controls the outlet flap to close via a bellcranck and a rod
(Ram air flow decreases).
At the same time, the Turbine by-pass valve driven via a teleflex cable
opens allowing hot air to be delivered downstream the turbine outlet.
Consequence : Hot air coming from the turbine by-pass valve is mixed with cold air
coming from the turbine.
Therefore, the temperature at the pack outlet can be adjusted.
Note : Pack outlet temperature is limited to a temperature from 4 C (40 F) to
63 C (145 F).
A pusbutton called MAX COOL allows the temperature limit to be decreased to
-7 degrees C instead of +4 degrees C.
This configuration will be effective with MAX COOL pushbutton pressed in, ON blue light
illuminated (MAX COOL mode is the normal mode on ground).
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
If for any reason, the automatic system has failed, the pack outlet temperature can be
adjusted manually.
Example : Colder air is required.
You must switch on the MAN pushbutton, & select COLD with the toggle
switch in order to simulate a manual adjustment.
This selection will allow you to get colder air at the pack outlet by directly controlling the
actuator.

COURSE NOTES MANUAL
AIR COOLING SYSTEM : PROTECTIONS

29
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
The pack is equipped with :

- overheat protection system
- de-ice system
- water extraction system.
The OVERHEAT PROTECTION consists of :
1 - a thermostat and a fusible plug in the compressor outlet duct.
2 - a thermostat and a fusible plug in the turbine inlet duct
3 - a line between the flow control valve and the thermostats and plugs.
When temperature approaches range temperature, the thermostat begins to respond.
COMPRESSOR TURBINE
Thermostat range : 529 to 559 F 219 to 223 F
276 to 293 C 104 to 106 C
Fusible plugs thresholds : 610 to 650 F 279 to 294 F
321 to 343 C 137 to 146 C
The outlet compressor thermostat closes gradually the pack flow control valve.
The inlet turbine thermostat immediatly closes the pack flow control valve.
Example : A temperature overheat has occured at the turbine inlet.
- The turbine inlet thermostat has opened. A venting is created. The pressure in the
actuating chamber of the pack flow control valve decreases.
- There is no more pressure in the actuating chamber of the flow control valve.
Therefore, it closes.
- The pack is depressurized.
When temperature returns to normal, the thermostat vent port closes, the pressure in
the actuating chamber increases and the pack flow control valve opens.
The fusible plug is a non-resettable heat protection device & a backup for the
thermostat. If the thermostat fails and the temperature exceeds the nominal, the fuse
melts and vents pneumatic pressure from the flow control valve.

30
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
The ANTI-ICE PROTECTION system consists of :

1 - anti-ice valve
2 - pressure sensor port
3 - water separator downstream pressure sensor line
4 - anti-ice screen.
When the temperature is below freezing point, the anti-ice screen(4) clogs, the
differential pressure (between 3 & 2) increases, the anti-ice open supplying hot air to the
turbine outlet duct and downstream of the anti-ice screen, directly to the water separator.
When ice is melted, the anti-ice valve closes.

31
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
WATER EXTRACTION SYSTEM

The water injector induces water from the water separation and water extraction device
into the heat exchanger air intake by means of a small flow of pressurized air tapped
from the water extraction device.
The water is sprayed and evaporates in the airstream to provide additional cooling to
the heat exchanger.
(That is why it is normal that on the ground, water will leak from the air intake of the
packs).

32
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
An AIR INLET FLAP controlled by an electrical pneumatic actuator, is fitted to prevent

clogging problems.
The Flap will blank off the pack air inlet during takeoff and landing.
In this case, the pack inlet will be supplied from the unpressurized air conditioning bay
through holes uncovered by the flap extension.

Look at the whole block diagram concerning the cabin temperature regulation.
We will go through it step by step.

82
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
BASIC TEMPERATURE REGULATION

There are four selectors.
Each selector allows to select the desired temperature for each zone between 18 C
(cold position) & 30 C (hot position).
The selector signals, the zone temperature sensor signals & the duct temperature
signals are compared in their respective zone controller.
Each zone controller sends a signal to the APU and PACK DEMAND controller where
they are compared.
Moreover, the APU and PACK DEMAND controller sends a signal to control the
Electronic Control Box of the APU.
COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

A signal form each zone controller sends a signal to its trim air valve to allow a fine
adjustment of the compartment temperature by adding hot air to the air delivered by the
packs.
Each pack controller receives a signal from the APU and PACK DEMAND controller,
which is compared to the pack outlet temperature sensor signal.
The resultant signal will control the pack outlet temperature.
We know that each pack temperature controller receives a signal from the APU and
PACK DEMAND controller.
Lets now see its detailed operation through two examples.

83
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
In our examples, we suppose that the actual temperatures are equal in all zones
(25 C).
1 - The cockpit temperature demand is the coldest.
Pack N 1 is controlled by the cockpit temperature demand.
Pack N 2 is controlled by the coldest cabin temperature demand.
2 - One cabin temperature demand is the coldest.

Pack N 1 and pack N 2 are controlled by the coldest temperature demand.

84
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
If the temperature regulation of a zone does not operate

(for example : zone controller failure), the corresponding selector must be set to MAN.
When the selector is to MAN, the corresponding zone controller is isolated.

The trim air valve is directly controlled by acting on the spring-loaded to MAN selector
(Cold or Hot position).
Note that the 3 other trim air valves are controlled automatically as well as the packs.

85
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
There are four zone controllers, two pack temperature controllers and one APU and
PACK DEMAND controller located on the 90VU.
The APU and PACK DEMAND CONTROLLER has a BITE TEST which allows checking
the controllers involved in the temperature regulation as well as the sensors.

86

The resultant signal is the SPEED AUGMENT signal sent to the APU E.C.B.

104
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
The three cabin signals are compared in the cool discriminator which elaborates a signal
corresponding to the coldest demand signal.
The signal is then compared through an external diode (31 VD) to the cockpit demand
signal.
NORMAL OPERATION

The diode 31 VD is blocked.
The cockpit temperature demand signal will control PACK N 1.
The cabin temperature demand signal will control PACK N 2.
Cabin temperature demand is the coldest...

The diode 31 VD is NOT blocked.
The cabin temperature demand signal will control PACK N 1 and N 2.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Lets suppose PACK N 1 has failed and that the cockpit requires the coldest

In flight, with the air conditioning ON, air is drawn from the cockpit through lateral
orifices in the floor.
A supplementary supply of fresh air is provided from the cockpit distribution duct.
After elec. equipment ventilation, the air is sent under the FWD cargo compartment via
a valve called CARGO UNDERFLOO R VALVE .

161
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
Let us see more system details.
VENTI LATION
After passing through an accordion pleated grille and a filter the air is forced to the
avionics by one of the two blowers, the other one being in standby.
The blower operation and selection at low or high speed is fully automatic.
Normal distribution flow operation is monitored by a low flow detector.
EXTRA CTION
Then, the air is forced by an extract fan and ducted either by the extract valve to
overboard or by the cargo underfloor valve to the cargo underfloor compartment.
The fan operation at low or high speed is fully automatic.
The valve transfer is also fully automatic.
Normal extraction flow operation is monitored by a low flow detector.

207
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
The system n 2 was in operation at previous flight.
A ground at the inhibition input of controller n 1 cut off the 28VDC supply to the outflow
valves n 1 motors and unlocks the SEL CTL output for transfer at erach flight.
nd
As soon as the 2 engine has started (oil low press switch) the SEL CTL output can
deliver a ground.
At this moment the bistable relay 139HM is energized the ground of the inhibit input to
the controller n 1 is cut off ; thus the controller n 1 operates and the 28VDC power is
supplied to the auto motors.
At the same time the controller n 2 is inhibited and the 28VDC to the auto motors is
cut off.

208
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
At any moment the pilot can select the system he wants.
When the PUSH TO SEL pushbutton 137HM is pressed, the relay 139HM is energized.
At this moment the ground to the inhibition input of the controller n 1 is cut off while
ground is delivered to the inhibition input of the controller n 2.
In the same time a ground is available at the SYS SEL output in order to illuminate the
triangle of the pushbutton 137HM.

COURSE NOTES MANUAL
Loss of power supply.
Now we are going to look at two cases of failure causing a transfer.
First transfer after a loss of power supply.
The controller n 2 is in operation.
The A/C POWER MONITOR delivers a ground.

The relay 132HM is energized.
Lets suppose the controller is no longer supplied.
The ground is now removed.

As soon as the ground is removed, the relay 132HM is deenergized.
The FAULT light is illuminated and the SEL INPUT of the controller in standby is
triggered.
When the SEL INPUT is triggered the SEL CTL output delivers a ground impulse after a
time delay of 3 seconds.
The relay 139HM is then energized.
Thus a ground is delivered to the inhibit input of the controller n 2 while it is removed
at the controller n 1 inhibit input.

210
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
Lets see now how a transfer is performed in case a FAULT occurs.
Controller n 2 is in operation.
When a fault is detected by the controller the FAULT MONITOR output and the
SWITCHING CTL output receive a ground.
This causes the FAULT light illumination of the pushbutton 134HM.
At the same time the relay 139HM is energized down.
This causes the ground to the inhibit input of the controller n 2 to be triggered and the
ground to the inhibit input of the controller n 1 to be removed.
A transfer has been performed.

219
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
Two safety valves are installed in the pressurized area.

They operate independently and perform the following safety functions :
- Overpressure safety (positive p).

- Negative pressure (negative P).
Since both valves are under the aircraft floatation line, they are fitted with a rack device
to hold the flap in the closed position in case of ditching.
They are normally closed in flight and on the ground.
If one valve has opened, the information is stored in an MFA which will illuminate when
the ANNUNCIAT OR LIGHTS is in the READ position.

220
COURSE NOTES MANUAL
SAFETY VALVE OPERATION
In normal configuration, the valve is pring loaded closed.
Its rack motor is not energized and the rack is in up position.
When the ditching is operated (both outflow pushbutton OFF), the rack motor is
energized and drives the rack down in order to secure the valve in closed position.
OVERPRESS URE SAFETY FUNCTION
When P is too high (8.85psi), the manometric capsules expand allowing the control
chamber to be connected to the atmosphere.
Then, due to the P, the control chamber pressure flows through the manometric
capsule causing the valve to open.
A microswitch sends a signal to the lateral panel to illuminate the corresponding OVER
PRESS MFA.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE SAFETY FUNCTION
When the external pressure exceeds the cabin pressure by 0.15psi, the negative
pressure valve and the main valve move up to equalize the pressure.
