AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioning system maintains the air in the pressurized fuselage
zones at the correct levels of temperature, freshness and pressure.
INTRODUCTION
Air supply comes from the pneumatic system.
Then, air temperature is regulated in temperature by the temperature
regulation sub-system.
Correct level of air freshness in the pressurized zones and proper ventilation
of the avionics equipment is ensured by the ventilation sub-system.
The pressurization sub-system ensures a cabin altitude compatible with crew
and passengers comfort.

PRESENTATION
Bleed air coming from pneumatic system is controlled in flow before
reaching two air conditioning packs which ensure basic temperature
regulation.
Air delivered by the packs is mixed with recirculated air from the cabin zones
which is also used for avionics ventilation purpose.
Fine temperature adjustment of air distributed in the pressurized zones is
obtained by controlling the amount of hot air added to the air coming from
the mixer unit.
Correct pressurization is obtained by controlling the conditioned air discharge
through two outflow valves.

ANTI ICING VALVE

An anti-icing valve prevents ice formation across the condenser by supplying
hot air at the turbine outlet.
The anti-ice valve operates according to delta pressures sensed across the
condenser in order to prevent ice build-up at any time.
In case of pack controller failure, the anti-icing valve is used also as a
temperature control valve back-up.
Its solenoid is then de-energized and the anti-icing valve pneumatically
operates under the control of the Pneumatic Temperature Sensor to maintain
a pack discharge temperature of approximately 11°C (52°F).
SENSORS
Pack sensors are used for pack temperature control, monitoring and
indicating.
DOWNSTREAM CHECK VALVE
A downstream check valve prevents reverse flow back to the pack.

RECIRCULATION FANS
Two recirculation fans feed the mixer unit with air from the cabin.
In addition, they are used as blowers for the avionics ventilation.

GENERAL
Lavatory and galley ventilation air is ducted from the main cabin air

Air is discharged overboard by differential pressure or by an

Extraction Fan.

Cabin temperature sensors are ventilated with cabin air drawn by the
Extraction Fan.

EXTRACTION FAN
The Extraction Fan operates on ground when electrical power is
available and in flight when delta P is lower than 1 psi.

The Extraction Fan is controlled by the ventilation controller.

The ground/flight signal comes from Landing Gear Control Interface
Unit 2 (LGCIU).

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH

The Differential Pressure Switch serves to detect when delta P is lower
than 1 psi for extraction fan operation control.

SAFETY SWITCH
A Safety Switch detects any abnormal low pressure and sends signals
to the ventilation controller for condition monitoring.

GENERAL
The aft galley-area heating system increases the temperature of the air in the
aft galley area.
The air comes from the cabin air supply area and flows through a heater
located in the upper part of the aft galley.
POWER SUPPLY LOGIC
The heater is powered by the 115 VAC service bus.
The 115 VAC is available only if at least one air conditioning pack operates
and galley power is "ON", provided the cargo loading is not operating.
CONTROL AND INDICATING
As soon as all the heater supply initial conditions are fulfilled, the "AVAIL"
indication illuminates on the aft GALLEY AREA HEATING panel meaning
that the heater is available.

Two temperature settings (low or high) can be selected through two p/b
switches located on the GALLEY AREA HEATING panel.
The "LOW ON" selection powers one heating element while the "HIGH ON"
selection powers the three elements.
THERMAL PROTECTION
In case of heater overheat the thermal switch opens. This causes the heater
supply to be interrupted.
The "AVAIL" indication on the GALLEY AREA HEATING panel will
extinguish as long as the overheat exits.

GENERAL
The pressurization system ensures a cabin altitude safe and compatible with
crew and passenger comfort.
Pressurization is performed by controlling the amount of air discharged
overboard through two outflow valves.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The system has two identical and independent automatic controllers.
Only one controller operates at a time, the other is in active stand-by.

In normal condition, the system operation is fully automatic.

The operation of the automatic cabin pressure control depends on
pre-programmed control laws and information from the ADIRUs.
The automatic cabin pressure control is achieved from internal schedules, or
external schedules if the FMGES inputs are available, such as top of climb.

The CABIN PRESS panel enables manual cabin pressure control in case of
failure of both automatic systems. The FWD and AFT valves may be
simultaneously or independently manually controlled.

A mixed mode is available mainly in case of cabin compartment smoke

evacuation. In mixed mode, one outflow valve may be manually controlled
whereas the other one remains under automatic control (active cabin pressure
controller).

Two safety valves are installed on the aft pressure bulkhead to prevent
excessive positive or negative differential pressure.
Due to the large volume of the fuselage, a negative pressure relief valve
assists the safety valves to prevent negative differential pressure.
