Introduction


MASTER

1. INTRODUCTION

The environmental control system (ECS) provides temperature and pressure regulated airfor heating, ventilating and pressurizing the flight and passenger compartments. Exhaustair, from the compartments, is used to ventilate the avionics and cargo compartments,before being dumped overboard through two outflow valves.

For ground operations, pneumatic air to operate the ECS can be obtained from:

S A ground air supply cart connected to the aircraft

S The auxiliary power unit (APU)

S Either or both engines.

During flight, the engines normally supply bleed air for operating the air-conditioning,pressurization, and avionics cooling systems.

ECS warnings and cautions are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system(EICAS) primary page. ECS advisory and status messages are displayed on the EICASstatus page. Views of the aircraft ECS temperature, pressure, valve positions and systemstatus indications are displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.

Air--Conditioning System


MASTER

1. AIR--CONDITIONING SYSTEM

There are two air-conditioning systems, which can be operated separately or in parallel, tosupply conditioned air to the flight and passenger compartments. Each system consists ofan air-conditioning unit or package (PACK), a temperature controller and ducting. Ram air isprovided for pack cooling and ventilation. The temperature controllers also control theengine 10th stage bleed air supply to the system (see Chapter 19).

A. Packs

The packs are located in the aft equipment compartment. They provide cooling of theengine or APU bleed air supplies for distribution to the flight and passengercompartments. 10th stage bleed air to each pack is regulated to a constant 30 psi byrespective pressure regulator and shutoff valves (PRSOV). For single pack operation,the PRSOV will regulate the pressure to 41 psi. Each pack consists of an air cyclemachine and heat exchanger which are used to decrease the temperature and watercontent of the bleed air used in the conditioning process. Normally, the right packsupplies the passenger compartment and the left pack supplies the flight compartment.If a pack fails, the remaining pack can supply conditioned air to both compartments.

B. Temperature Control

The flight compartment and the passenger compartments have identical butindependently-operated temperature control systems. Each controller subsystem isdedicated to an air-conditioning pack. Temperature control, in automatic mode, isprovided by CKPT and CABIN selector knobs on the air conditioning panel. Control inmanual mode is provided by left and right pack MAN switchlights and HOT/COLDswitches on the same panel. The individual packs can be manually turned OFF byselecting the respective L or R PACK switchlight on the air conditioning panel.

AUTOMATIC MODE -- Operating Range MANUAL MODE -- Operating Range

14.5_C to 28_C (58_F to 82_F) 1.7_C to 71_C (35_F to 160_F)

NOTE

Manual mode temperature below 3_C (37_F) mayresult in icing of the pack water separator andsubsequent cycling of the pack output.

C. Ram Air Ventilation

The cooling air for the left and right heat exchangers is supplied from a ram air intake,located on the upper aft fuselage. During normal operation, the ram air is exhaustedthrough an exhaust duct in the lower aft fuselage, after passing over the heatexchangers. The ram air intake duct also provides cooling air to the hydraulic systemsheat exchanger to cool the hydraulic fluid. (Refer to Chapter 14).

Ram air ventilation is used only when the air conditioning packs fail (unpressurized).Operating the (guarded) RAM AIR, switchlight on the air--conditioning panel, opens thenormally closed ram air valve. Ram air then enters the left (flight compartment) supplysystem. Ram air also flows through the distribution manifold to the passengercompartment.

D. Conditioned Air Distribution

Conditioned air, from the left and right air-conditioning packs, is routed throughseparate ducting systems through a distribution manifold to the flight compartment andthe passenger compartments.

Conditioned air, to the passenger compartment, is distributed from ducts along eachside of the aircraft. Passenger compartment exhaust air is routed underfloor to theoutflow valves on the aft pressure bulkhead.

Conditioned air, to the flight compartment, is distributed to the side console panels,gaspers and vents, and avionics units within the instrument panel. Dedicated fans andducts direct conditioned air over the flight compartment display units. Flightcompartment exhaust air is routed underfloor through the avionics compartment to theoutflow valve at the aft pressure bulkhead.

REV 56, Jan 31/03




E. Low Pressure Ground Air Connection <0007>

An external ground air connector, located on the right aft fuselage, is provided forground air-conditioning. Low pressure compressed air from a ground air conditioningcart can be supplied directly into flight and passenger compartment distributionsystems.

Avionics Cooling System


MASTER

1. AVIONICS COOLING SYSTEM

The electronic flight instruments in the flight compartment instrument panel, control panelsand display units in the center pedestal, and electronic units in the left and right portions ofthe underfloor avionics bay are cooled during on-ground and flight operations.

The cockpit displays are cooled with air from two display fans located under the flightcompartment floor. Fan control is provided by a DSPLY FAN selector knob on the avionicscooling panel. Normally, only one fan operates at a time (controlled by WOW). In flight, onlyfan 1 is powered and on the ground, only fan 2 is powered. When powered, the respectivefan draws in recirculated air from the flight compartment and mixes it with conditioned airthen supplies the air to the backs of each display. In the event of a fan failure, the alternatefan can be powered by selecting the FLT ALTN or GND ALTN position. If both fans fail,selecting STDBY permits conditioned air to ventilate the displays. A low flow sensormonitors the air flow to ensure adequate cooling. Check valves prevent loss of cooling air orreverse flow.

Two ARINC cooling fans are installed under the flight compartment floor. The fans are usedto provide recirculated cabin air to the left and right avionics equipment racks. Fan control isprovided by an ARINC FAN selector knob on the avionics cooling panel. In the NORMposition, only one fan operates at a time (controlled by WOW). In flight, only fan 1 ispowered and on the ground, only fan 2 is powered. In the event of a fan failure, thealternate fan can be powered by selecting the FLT ALTN or GND ALTN position.

The avionics exhaust system consists of an exhaust fan, an inboard exhaust valve and anoutboard exhaust valve. The exhaust fan is installed in the avionics compartment andoperates whenever AC BUS 1 is powered. The fan is used to remove warm air from theCRT displays, pedestal panels and the left and right avionics equipment racks, then direct itto the exhaust valves. When either the passenger door or service door is open, the inboardvalve is closed and the outboard valve is open to exhaust the air to the wing root area.When the passenger and service doors are closed, the outboard valve is closed and theinboard valve is open to exhaust the air to the rear lower fuselage where it is dumpedoverboard through the outflow valves.

Aft Cargo Bay Ventilation System


MASTER

1. CARGO COMPARTMENT AIR SYSTEM

The cargo compartment air system allows the flight crew to control the ventilation air withinthe cargo compartment. The system consists of a recirculation air shut--off valve,recirculation fan and an exhaust air shut--off valve. <0043><0059>

The cargo compartment conditioned air system allows the flight crew to control theventilation air and temperature within the cargo compartment. The system consists of arecirculation air shut--off valve, recirculation fan, heater and an exhaust air shut--off valve.<0013><0034>

The system is controlled by a 2--position CARGO, OFF/FAN switch on the air-conditioningpanel. In the OFF position, both shut--off valves are closed and the system is disabled. Inthe FAN position, both shut--off valves open and the fan is powered to blow recirculatedcabin air into the cargo compartment to maintain the compartment temperature abovefreezing. <0043><0059>

The system is controlled by a CARGO, 3--position, OFF/FAN/AIR COND switch on theair-conditioning panel. In the OFF position, both shut--off valves are closed and the systemis disabled. In the FAN position, both shut--off valves open and the recirculation fan ispowered to blow recirculated cabin air into the cargo compartment to maintain thecompartment temperature above freezing. In the COND AIR position, both shut--off valvesare open, the heater is enabled and the recirculation fan is powered to blow heated air intothe cargo compartment. The heater is controlled by a temperature control switch in theexhaust duct which will cycle the heater ON and OFF as necessary to maintain the cargocompartment temperature between 21_C and 27_C (70_F and 80_F). <0013><0034>

An overheat switch in the exhaust duct provides overtemperature protection by removingpower to the heater when the exhaust duct temperature exceeds 49_C (120_F). A signal isalso sent to the EICAS to display a CARGO OVHT caution message. The switch will resetwhen the temperature decreases below 29_C (85_F). <0013><0034>

A duct overheat switch is installed in the heater outlet. If the heater discharge temperatureexceeds 49_C (120_F) power is removed from the heater. The switch will reset when thetemperature decreases below 38_C (104_F). <0013><0034>

The system interacts with the cargo bay smoke detectors and fire extinguishing system (SeeChapter 10, Fire Protection). When smoke is detected, the shut-off valves automaticallyclose to isolate the cargo compartment. <0043><0059>

The galley is heated with two 500 watt heaters to provide supplementary heat to the galley andservice door area. One heater uses the air from the right exhaust riser duct and the secondheater warms conditioned air from the right gasper supply duct. The heaters are controlled byswitchlights on the Flight Attendants panel. There is no EICAS display for the galley heatingsystem.

Each heater incorporates an internal overtemperature switch that removes power to the heaterwhen the heater outlet temperature becomes excessive. The heater also incorporates aninternal, overheat protection switch which disables the heater when the internal temperatureexceeds a preset limit. Heater #1 has a fan which can be used in conjunction with or separatefrom the heaters.

Pressurization System


MASTER

1. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM

The aircraft is pressurized by bleed air supplied by the air-conditioning system. Cabinpressure is normally controlled by regulating cabin air overboard through two outflow valveslocated on the rear pressure bulkhead. The outflow valves are automatically controlled byeither of two independent cabin pressure controllers. The pressurization is almost totallyautomatic, the crew only has to set the landing field elevation, on the CABIN PRESS controlpanel, to program the system for flight. If the normal automatic mode fails, the outflowvalves can be controlled manually by controls on the CABIN PRESS control panel. Bothvalves also operate as safety valves to provide overpressure and negative pressure relief. Ifcabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet, a signal is sent to the passenger oxygen system todeploy the oxygen masks. A cabin pressure acquisition module (CPAM) is used in thesystem to supply signals to the EICAS.

2. OUTFLOW VALVES

The dual, redundant, electro--pneumatic outflow valves are installed on the rear pressurebulkhead, below floor level, and are designated as the primary and secondary valves. Bothvalves are slaved together through a pneumatic line and are electrically controlled. Thevalves will respond to either electrical signals in automatic mode, or to pneumatic inputsignals from the manual regulators on the CABIN PRESS control panel.

3. CABIN PRESSURE CONTROLLERS

The aircraft is equipped with dual, redundant pressure controllers, which operate only inautomatic mode. All controller outputs are sent to the outflow valves. While one controller isin use, the other updates automatically. The active cabin pressure controller commands theoutflow valve to a nominal differential pressure of 8.33 psid. Inputs to the pressurecontrollers are received from air data computer (ADC 1) normally. ADC 2 is the backup toADC 1. If a controller fails, the system will automatically switch over to the other controller.If automatic switch--over fails, select the PRESS CONTROL switch twice. This will enablethe redundant controller. If both pressure controllers fail, both outflow valves will go to anisobaric hold mode.When the airplane is on the ground for 3 minutes, automatic pressurecontroller switch--over will occur.

The pressurization system automatically maintains cabin pressure through all phases offlight. Typical values used in the cabin/flight altitude schedule during manual mode are asfollows:

CABIN PRESSURE ALTITUDE (feet) AC FLIGHT ALTITUDE(feet)

DECENT CLIMB--600 --600 0--600 0 5,000--350 575 10,000740 1,240 15,0001,260 1,630 17,5001,770 2,020 20,0004,270 4,330 30,0005,990 5,990 35,0006,880 6,880 37,5007,990 7,990 41,000

A. Automatic Pressurization Modes

S Ground mode,Both outflow valves are driven full open.

S Pre-Pressure mode,When thrust levers are advanced to take-off, the cabin is pressurized to --150 feet atapproximately 300 ft/min.

REV 56, Jan 31/03




S Take-Off abort mode,When the thrust levers are retarded to idle, the cabin ascends at approximately 500ft/min for 20 seconds, then the outflow valves are driven full open.

S Climb mode,Cabin climb is in accordance with a fixed schedule, cabin altitude vs aircraft altitudeat a rate of approximately 500 ft/min. The controller compares selected landingelevation to the climb schedule, then selects the highest pressure schedule.

S Flight abort mode,When the aircraft has maintained 6,000 feet altitude or lower altitude for 10 minutes,and then has initiated a descent of 1,000 ft/min, the system will then assume theelevation for the departing airport, regardless of the pre-selected landing elevation.

S The cabin descent schedule occurs when the aircraft altitude is maintained at0±200 feet for 10 minutes. The system pre--sets a decent rate of approximately300 ft/min.

S The cabin full descent schedule occurs when the aircraft is in descent. Cabinaltitude decreases at approximately 300 ft/min, to either landing elevation, ormaximum differential, whichever is highest. When the landing elevation exceeds8,000 feet, cabin altitude will be maintained at maximum differential, until the aircraftdescends, then the cabin altitude will rate up to the pre-selected landing elevation.

S Landing mode,The cabin altitude is driven below field elevation or the aircraft is unpressurized.When the cabin is below field elevation, then the cabin is rated up at approximately500 ft/min for 60 seconds, then the outflow valve is driven full open.

S Touch and Go mode,On aircraft touchdown, the system will assume landing mode; as the thrust leversare advanced, the system will schedule pre-pressure mode.

B. Manual Pressurization Modes

S UP selection,Cabin ascends at selected rate of 50 fpm to 3,000 ±1000 fpm. When the desiredcabin altitude is reached, select MAN ALT to mid position.

S DN selection,Cabin descends at selected rate of 50 fpm to 3,000 ±1000 fpm. When the desiredcabin altitude is reached, select MAN ALT to mid position.

S Mid selection,Disables all previous MAN ALT selections.

Automatic mode schedules the pressurization controllers to automatically regulate therate of change of cabin altitude:

S Ascent from 500 ±75 fpm.

08--60--9Vol. 1




MASTER

S Decent from 300 ±75 fpm.

Manual mode rate controls are provided to manually regulate the rate of change tocabin altitude:

S Ascent from 150 ±150 fpm to 3,000 ±500 fpm and

S Decent from 100 ±100 fpm to 2,500 ±500 fpm..

C. Differential Pressure Control

Each outflow valve has positive and negative pressure relief. The pressure controllersnormally control the cabin--to--outside pressure to 8.33 psid. The valves are preset toopen at a maximum positive differential pressure of 8.6 ±0.1 psid and at a negativedifferential pressure of −0.5 psid.

D. Cabin Altitude Limitation

Altitude limit controllers within each outflow valve, operate to prevent the cabin altitudefrom increasing above 14,250 ±750 feet.

E. Emergency Depressurization

Electrical signals from the EMER DEPRESS switch commands both outflow valves toopen. If the aircraft is at a cruise altitude (above 15,000 feet), the altitude limitersoperate to prevent cabin altitude from exceeding 14,250 ±750 feet.

F. Cabin Pressure Monitoring

The system uses measurements from the two cabin pressure controllers and the cabinpressure acquisition module (CPAM) to control and monitor the system. The CPAMsupplies signals to the EICAS to display the following information:

S Cabin altitude (z)

S Cabin altitude rate of change (dz/dt)

S Cabin to ambient differential pressure (delta P)

S CPAM failure -- If a CPAM fails, the redundant controller will assume the function ofthe failed CPAM (indications only)

S If the PASS SIGNS switches are selected to AUTO, the CPAM will cause the NOSMKG and SEAT BLTS signs to come on when the cabin altitude reaches 10,000feet

S The CPAM will automatically trigger the passenger oxygen auto deploy systemwhen the cabin altitude reaches 14,000 feet.

REV 56, Jan 31/03




A “CABIN PRESSURE” voice alert is also provided during the following EICASwarnings:

S DIFF PRESS warning message

S CABIN ALT warning message (cabin altitude above 10,000 feet).
