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. 2-15). In the AUTO
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
- AUTO - ON, located on the overhead control panel (fig.
2-15). The single speed blower operates automatically
through the N1 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.

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. 2-28). 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
underpressure
switch,
condenser blower, forward and aft evaporators, receiver-
dryer, expansion valve, and a bypass valve. The
plumbing from the compressor is routed through the right
inboard wing leading edge to the fuselage and then
forward to the condenser coil, receiver-dryer, expansion
valve, bypass valve, and forward evaporator, which are
located in the nose of the aircraft. A 7.5-ampere circuit
breaker, placarded AIR COND CONTR, located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9), protects the
compressor clutch circuit.
(1)
Forward
evaporator.
The
forward
evaporator and blower supplies airflow for the cockpit,
forward ceiling outlets, and forward floor outlets. The
forward evaporator blower has a high speed, which can
be selected by setting the VENT BLOWER FWD switch,
located on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-15), to the
HIGH position. The forward vent blower is protected by
a circuit breaker located on the DC power distribution
panel, located beneath the aisleway.
(2)
Aft evaporator. The aft evaporator and
blower are located in the fuselage center aisle
equipment bay, aft of the rear spar. Environmental air is
circulated through the evaporator in either manual or
automatic control modes. The rear evaporator supplies
airflow for the aft ceiling outlets, rear floor outlets, and
toilet compartment. The rear evaporator blower is
protected by a circuit breaker located on the DC power
distribution panel, located beneath the aisleway.
(3)
High and low pressure limit switches.
High and low pressure limit switches are provided to
prevent compressor operation beyond operational limits.
When the low or high pressure switches are activated,
compressor operation will be terminated. When
compressor operation has been terminated by limit
switch activation, the system should be thoroughly
checked before returning it to service.
(4)
Thermal sense switch. A thermal sense
switch is installed on the forward evaporator. This sense
switch actuates a hot gas bypass valve which bypasses
a portion of the refrigerant from the forward evaporator,
thereby preventing icing of the evaporator.
(5)
Condenser blower. A vane-axial blower
draws air through the condenser when the aircraft is on
the ground. The blower is protected by a 50-ampere
circuit breaker located beneath the aisleway. When the
cabin temperature mode selector switch is set to the AC
COLD
