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. 2-12) provides for automatic or
manual control of the system. This section contains all
the major controls of the environmental function
including bleed air valve switches, a vent blower control
switch, an aft vent blower switch, a manual temperature
switch for control of the heat exchanger valves, a cabin
temperature level control, and the cabin temp mode
selector switch for selecting automatic heating or cooling
or manual heating or cooling. Four additional manual
controls on the main instrument subpanels may be
utilized for partial regulation of cockpit comfort when the
cockpit partition door is closed and the cabin comfort
level is satisfactory.
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 5 minutes after
each adjustment for system to
stabilize.
(2)
If the cockpit is too hot:
1.
Cabin air knob As required.
2.
Pilot and copilot air knobs In as
required.
3.
Defrost air knob In as required.
b.
Cooling Mode:
(1)
If the cockpit is too cold:
1.
Pilot and copilot air knob In as
required.
2.
Defrost air knob In as required.
3.
Overhead
cockpit
outlets
As
required.
(2)
If the cockpit is too hot:
1.
Pilot and copilot air knobs Out as
required.
2.
Cabin air knob. Close in small
increments. Allow 3 5 minutes after
each adjustment for system to
stabilize. If CABIN AIR knob is
completely closed before obtaining
satisfactory cockpit comfort, it may
be necessary to place the aft vent
blower switch in the ON position to
activate
the
aft
evaporator
to
recirculate cabin air.
c.
Automatic Mode Control. When the AUTO
mode is selected on the cabin temperature mode
selector switch, the heating and air conditioning systems
are automatically controlled. When the temperature of
the cabin has reached the selected setting, the
automatic temperature control allows heated air to
bypass the air-to-air exchangers in the wing center
section. The warm bleed air is mixed with the cooled
air. The rear evaporator picks up recirculated cabin air
only.
(1)
When the automatic control drives the
environmental system from a heat mode to a cooling
mode, the bypass valves close. When the left bypass
valve reaches a fully closed position, the refrigeration
system will begin cooling, provided the right engine N1
speed is above 65%. When the bypass valve is opened
to a position approximately 300 from full open, the
refrigeration system will turn off.
(2)
The CABIN TEMP INCR control provides
regulation of the temperature level in the automatic
mode. A temperature sensing unit in the cabin, in
conjunction with the control setting, initiates a heat or
cool command to the temperature controller for desired
cockpit and cabin environment.
d.
Manual Mode Control. With the cabin
temperature mode selector in the MAN HEAT or MAN
COOL position, regulation of the cabin temperature is
accomplished manually with the, MANUAL TEMP
switch.
(1)
In the MAN HEAT mode, the automatic
system is overridden and the system is controlled by
opening and closing the bypass valves (two) with the
MANUAI, TEMP INCR DECR switch. To increase cabin
temperature,
