TM 1-1510-223-10
air conditioning systems are automatically controlled.
Control signals from the temperature control box are
transmitted to the bleed air heat exchanger bypass
valves. Here, the temperature of the air flowing to the
cabin is regulated by the bypass valves controlling the
amount of air bypassing the heat exchangers. When the
temperature of the cabin air has reached the temperature
setting of the cabin temperature control rheostat, the
automatic temperature control allows hot air to bypass the
air-to-air exchangers admitting hot air into the cabin.
When the bypass valves are in the fully closed position,
allowing no air to bypass the heat exchangers, the air
conditioner begins to operate, providing additional
cooling. When the cabin temperature mode selector
switch is set to the A/C COLD OPN position, the air
conditioning system is in continuous operation. The cabin
temperature control rheostat, in conjunction with the cabin
temperature control sensor, provides regulation of cockpit
and mission equipment compartment temperature. Bleed
air heat is added as required to maintain the temperature
selected by the cabin temperature control rheostat.
e.
Cabin Temperature Control Rheostat. A control
knob placarded CABIN AIR TEMP CONTROL - INCR
located on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-13),
provides regulation of cabin temperature when the cabin
temperature mode selector switch is set to the ALTO or
the AC COLD OPN position. A temperature sensing unit
in the cabin, in conjunction with the setting of the cabin
temperature control rheostat, initiates a heat or cool
command to the temperature controller for the desired
cockpit or mission equipment compartment environment
f.
Manual Temperature Control Switch. A switch
placarded CABIN AIR MANUAL TEMP - DECREASE -
INCREASE located on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-
13), controls cockpit and mission equipment compartment
temperature with the cabin temperature mode selector
switch set to the MAN HEAT or MAN COOL position. The
manual temperature control switch controls the cockpit
and avionics equipment temperature by providing a
means of manually changing the amount that the bleed
air bypass valves are opened or closed. To increase
cabin temperature, the switch is held to the INCR position.
To decrease cabin temperature, the switch is held to the
DECR position. Approximately 30 seconds, per valve, is
required to drive the bypass valves to the fully open or
fully closed position. Only one valve moves at a time.
g.
Forward Vent Blower Switch. The forward vent
blower is controlled by a switch placarded VENT
BLOWER FWD - AUTO - LOW - HIGH located on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-13). In the ALTO position
the fan will run at low speed. The forward vent blower will
not operate when the cabin temperature mode selector
switch is set to the OFF position.
h.
Aft Vent Blower Switch. The aft vent blower is
controlled by the switch placarded VENT BLOWER AFT -
AURO - ON, located on the overhead control panel (fig.
2-13). The single speed blower operates automatically
through the N] switch, when the aft vent blower switch is
placed in the AUTO position. The blower operates
continuously when the switch is placed in the ON position
with the air conditioner compressor operating. In the OFF
position, the blower will not operate.

(3) Cargo door radiant heat. A radiant heat panel
is provided inside the cargo door to provide supplemental
heating in the aft cabin area. The heat panel is operating
whenever the cabin temperature mode switch is in the
manual heat mode, or in the automatic mode with the
temperature control system in the heat mode.
2-69. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
a.
Description. Cabin air conditioning is provided by
a refrigerant-gas vapor-cycle refrigeration system (fig. 2-
26). The system consists of a belt-driven engine-mounted
compressor, installed on the #2 engine accessory section,
refrigerant plumbing, N, speed switch, high and low
pressure protection switches, condenser coil, condenser
under-pressure switch, condenser blower, forward and aft
evaporators, receiver-dryer, expansion valve, and a
bypass valve.
