During certain ambient conditions, use of
the brake deice system may reduce available engine
power, and during flight will result in a TGT rise of
approximately 20°C. Appropriate performance charts
should be consulted before brake deice system use. If
specified power cannot be obtained without exceeding
limits, the brake deice system must be selected off until
after takeoff is completed. TGT limitations must also be
observed when setting climb and cruise power. The
brake deice system is not to be operated above 15°C
ambient temperature except to test the system. The
system is not to be operated for longer than 10 minutes
(one deicer cycle) with the landing gear retracted. If
operation
does
not
automatically
terminate
after
approximately 10 minutes following gear retraction, the
system must be manually selected off. During periods of
simultaneous brake deice and surface deice operation,
maintain 85% Nl or higher. If inadequate pneumatic
pressure is developed for proper surface deicer boot
inflation, select the brake deice system off. Both sources
of pneumatic bleed air must be in operation during brake
deice system use. Select the brake deice system off
during single-engine operation. Circuit protection is
provided by a 5-ampere circuit breaker, placarded
BRAKE DEICE, on the overhead circuit breaker panel
(fig. 2-26).
2-58. FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING.
a.
Description. An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger,
located on each engine accessory case, operates
continuously and automatically to heat the fuel sufficiently
to prevent freezing of any water in the fuel. No controls
are involved. Two external fuel vents are provided on
each wing. One is recessed to prevent ice formation; the
other is electrically heated and is controlled by two toggle
switches on the overhead control panel placarded FUEL
VENT ON, LEFT or RIGHT (fig. 2-18). They are
protected by two 5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded
FUEL VENT HEAT, RIGHT or LEFT, located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Each fuel
control unit's pneumatic line is protected against ice by an
electrically heated jacket protected by a 7. 5ampere
circuit breaker located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel placarded FUEL CONTR HEAT, LEFT or RIGHT
(fig. 2-26).
CAUTION
To prevent overheat damage to
electrically heated anti-ice jackets,
the FUEL VENT heat switches
should not be turned ON unless
cooling air will soon pass over the
jackets.
b.
Normal
Operation.
For
normal
operation,
switches for the FUEL VENTS anti-ice circuits are turned
ON
as
required
during
the
BEFORE
TAKEOFF
procedures (Chapter 8).
2-59. WINDSHIELD ELECTROTHERMAL ANTIICE
SYSTEM.
a.
Description. Both pilot and copilot windshields
are provided with an electrothermal anti-ice system. Each
windshield is part of an independent electrothermal anti-
ice system. Each system is comprised of the windshield
assembly with heating wires sandwiched between glass
panels, a temperature sensor attached to the glass, an
electrothermal controller, two relays, a control switch, and
two circuit breakers. Two switches, placarded WSHLD
ANTIICE NORMAL -OFF HI PILOT, COPILOT, located
on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-18) control system
operation. Each switch controls one electrothermal
windshield system. The circuits of each system are
protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker and a 50-ampere
circuit breaker which are not accessible to the flight crew.
The 50-ampere circuit breakers are located in the power
distribution panel under the floor ahead of the main spar.
The 5-ampere circuit breakers are located on panels
forward of the instrument panel.
b.
Normal Operation. Two levels of heat are
provided through the three position switches placarded
NORMAL in the aft position, OFF in the center position,
and HI after lifting the switch over a detent and moving it
to the forward position. In the NORMAL position, heat is
provided for the major portion of each windshield. In the
HI position, heat is provided at a higher watt density to a
smaller portion of the windshield. The lever lock feature
prevents inadvertent switching to the HI position during
system shutdown.
2-60. PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM.
a.
Pressure Differential. The pressure vessel is
designed for a normal working pressure differential of 6.
0 PSI, which will provide a cabin pressure altitude of 3870
feet at an aircraft altitude of 20,000 feet, and a nominal
cabin altitude of 9840 feet at an aircraft altitude of 31,000
feet.
b.
Description. A mixture of bleed air from the
engines, and ambient air, is available for pressurization to
the cabin at a rate of approximately 10 to 17 pounds per
minute. Approximately 85% NI is required when
operating with one engine. The flow control unit of each
engine controls the bleed air from the engine to make it
usable for pressurization by mixing ambient air with the
bleed air depending
