OPN position during ground operation, the condenser
blower will be off initially, and will remain off until
compressor discharge pressure equals the pressure
setting of the blower control high pressure switch. The
blower will remain in operation until system pressure
drops to equal the setting of the blower control low
pressure switch.

Air conditioning cold operation bypass
valve. Selecting the AC COLD OPN mode on the
CABIN AIR MODE SELECT switch (fig. 2-15) permits
the operation of the air conditioning system by overriding
the refrigerant low pressure switch. This allows the air
conditioning system to operate in the manual mode. The
operational life of the compressor will be decreased by
five hours each time the air conditioning system is
started below 10°C using this mode (AC COLD OPN). If
the air conditioning system has been operating in the
normal mode during flight, and decreasing ambient
temperatures make it necessary to switch to the AC cold
operation mode, there will be no degradation in the
mean time between failure for the compressor.

Air conditioner cold operation. The air
conditioner cold operation mode is provided to allow the
air conditioner to operate in the event of a hot cabin and
an outside air temperature of less than 10C. At an OAT
of less than 10C, a green advisory annunciator
placarded
AC
COLD
OPN,
located
on
the
caution/advisory annunciator panel will illuminate. This
advises the crew that if air conditioning is required, the
CABIN AIR MODE SELECT switch must be in the AC
COLD OPN position. This causes the air conditioner
compressor to run continuously and the temperature
controller to operate the bypass valve.

NOTE
Setting the cabin temperature mode selector
switch to the AC COLD OPN position at
ambient temperatures below -25°C may cause
the air conditioning system to exceed the

terminating compressor operation and thereby
rendering the system inoperative for the
remainder of the flight.

2-70. UNPRESSURIZED VENTILATION.
Ventilation is provided by two sources. One source
is through the bleed air heating system in both the
pressurized and unpressurized mode. The second
source of ventilation is obtained from ram air which
enters the condenser section in the nose and passes
through a check valve in the vent blower plenum. The
check
valve
closes
during
pressurized
operation.
Ventilation from this source is in the unpressurized mode
only, with the CABIN PRESS DUMP switch in the DUMP
position. The check valve closes during pressurized
operation. Ram air ventilation is distributed through the
main ducting system to all outlets. Ventilation air, ducted
to each individual eyeball cold air outlet, can be
directionally controlled by moving the ball in the socket.
Volume is regulated by twisting the outlet to open or
close the valve.
2-71. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS.
An environmental control section on the overhead
control panel (fig. 2-15) provides for automatic or
manual control of the system. This section contains all
the major controls of the environmental system,
including bleed air valve switches, forward and aft vent
blower switches, manual temperature switch for control
of the heat exchanger valves, a cabin temperature level
control, and the cabin temperature mode selector switch
for selecting automatic heating/ cooling or manual
heating/cooling.
