Q

What are the 7 steps for conditioning air in the packs

A
heat exchanger
compressor
heat exchanger 
condensor
turbine T1
condensor (cools coils)
Turbine T2

(T1 &T2 drive the compressor together all 3 are the Air cycle machine ACM)

18
Q

Which Zones are heated from which Trim Heat?

A

Right - A C
Left - B D

flight deck from both L & R

19
Q

Describe the Recerc Fans system

A

Upper
passenger area

Lower system
Baggage area

(filters air and reintroduces it)

20
Q

How is the Flight Deck different than the cabin?

A

100% outside air

slightly higher pressure to prevent smoke

21
Q

Describe the Humidity systems

A

Humidification system in the flight deck

De-humidification system in the cabin, 2 Zonal dryers
moist air exhausted below cabin floor

22
Q

What are the temp ranges?

A

FLT Deck 18-29 degrees
(12 o’clock is usually 24 deg)

Cabin Temp 18-29 deg
(12 O’clock us usually 24 deg)

23
Q

How is the temp control for the cabin different

A

Temp selector sets master cabin reference not temp.

CAP controls the temp 6 deg either side of the master temp

usually at 12 O’clock (24) so CAP can control 18-29 deg

24
Q

Where does the temp control for the Crew Rest compartment come from?

A

Zone D

(you can warm it with the electric heater but cant cool it

25
What does the AIR COND RESET do
resets any air conditioning faults and attempts to restart to normal operation
26
What switch positions should be indication for normal operations of the air conditioning panel
AUTO, NORM, ON positions
27
What are the indications on the AIR Synopsis page | SYS - MFD, AIR
Green - running White - off Amber - Failed Grey - signal is invalid
28
What is Pack operation during eng start?
CAC's load shead to conserve power | This condition shuts off the packs
29
How long before the packs restart
2 min after the eng start sequence is initiated | Start immediately after the second eng is running
30
What do we have automatic operation of for the non normal air conditioning system
Fault detection overheat protection back up modes for failures
31
What happens internally with a failure of a Air cycle machine? What is the indication?
Pack automatically shifts to standby cooling mode bypasses the ACM (T1, T2, Compressor) indication: Stby Cooling on synoptic pack mode L and pack mode R - EICAS
32
Describe the Alternate Ventilation System (AVS)
provides ventilation to the cabin and flight deck if both packs are inop indicates on Synoptic VENTILATION - EICAS
33
When does the E/E cooling fans automatically switch to OVRD
``` both supply fans fail flow sensors fail low air flow detected excessive temp Smoke Fire switch is armed ``` Similar for both FWD and AFT
34
What can you use to aid in evacuating smoke form the cabin or flight deck
equipment cooling to OVRD FWD - FLT Deck AFT - Cabin
35
On the ground what tells the Grd Crew that equipment cooling has failed
Horn in the front wheel well
36
How can you remove power to the Miscellaneous equip
IFE/PASS SEATS switch on the Elec Panel
37
What is the fluid operation temperature for the PECS liquid cooling system
29 deg
38
When does PECS operate
when and engine, APU, or BOTH FWD external power sources are providing power if only a single ext source is available only one PECS Loop operates
39
Where is PECS indication available
SYS STAT under LIQUID COOLING
40
How long do you have to have PECS liquid cooling operate after a flight?
both FWD Ext sources 10 min 1 - FWD Ext source 22 min (this allows for the dissipation of residual heat)
41
Where are the Cargo Temp control
just above the Air Conditioning panel
42
What is the danger of an overheat protection of the FWD/AFT cargo
if automatic overheat shutdown occurs the cargo heat cannot be restored Brrrrr
43
What has happened if you see OFF in yellow on the FWD cargo temp switch and CARGO HEAT FWD on EICAS
FWD Equip Cooling sys OVRD FWD Equip Cooling sys exhaust fan inop FWD cargo FIRE
