switches, condenser coil, condenser under-pressure
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.
(1) Forward
Evaporator.
The
forward
evaporator and blower supplies airflow for the cockpit,
forward ceiling outlets, and forward floor outlets. The
forward evaporator blower is controlled by a switch
placarded VENT BLOWER HIGH / LO / AUTO,
located on the copilot's subpanel.
(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.
(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 that
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.
b. Normal Operation.
(1) Automatic Coding Mode.
1. BLEED AIR VALVES Switches
OPEN, LEFT and RIGHT.
2. CABIN TEMP MODE Switch AUTO.
3. CABIN TEMP Rheostat As required.
4. CABIN,
PILOT,
COPILOT,
and
DEFROST AIR Knobs As required.
(2) Manual Cooling Mode.
1. BLEED AIR VALVES Switches
OPEN, LEFT and RIGHT.
NOTE
For maximum cooling on the ground, set
the BLEED AIR VALVES switches to the
ENVIR OFF position.
2. CABIN TEMP MODE Switch MAN
COOL.
2-68. 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 that
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 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. Moving the ball in the socket can directionally
control ventilation air ducted to each individual eyeball
cold air outlet. Regulate the volume by twisting the
outlet to open or close the valve.
2-69. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS.
An environmental control section on the copilot's
subpanel provides for automatic or manual control of
the system. This section contains all the major
controls of the environmental system: bleed air valve
switches, forward and aft vent blower switches,
manual temperature switch for control of the heat
exchanger valves, cabin temperature level control, and
the cabin temperature mode selector switch.
a. Heating Mode.
(1) If the cockpit is too cold:
1. PILOT and COPILOT AIR Knobs As
required.
2. DEFROST AIR Knob As required.
3. CABIN AIR Knob Pull out in small
increments. Allow 3 to 5 minutes after
each
adjustment
for
system
to
stabilize.
