TM 55-1510-221-10
2-l 2) and a normally open solenoid valve operated
by the right landing gear safety switch.
(2.) Pneumatic bleed air shutoff valve. A
pneumatic shutoff valve is provided in each nacelle
to control the flow of bleed air to the surface,
antenna and brake deice systems. These valves are
controlled by the bleed air valve switches located on
the overhead control panel (fig. 2-12).
(3.)
Bleed air valve switches. The bleed air
flow control unit shutoff valve and pneumatic bleed
air shutoff valves are controlled by two switches
placarded BLEED AIR VALVE - OPEN - ENVIRO
OFF - PNEU & ENVIRO OFF, located on the over-
head control panel (fig. 2-12). When set to the open
position, both the environmental flow control unit
shutoff valve and the pneumatic shutoff valve are
open; when set to the ENVIRO OFF position, the
environmental flow control unit shutoff valve is
closed, and the pneumatic bleed air valve is open; in
the PNEU & ENVIRO OFF position, both are
closed. For maximum cooling on the ground, turn
the bleed air valve switches to the ENVIRO OFF
position.
(4.) Cabin temperature mode selector
switch. A switch placarded CABIN TEMP MODE -
MAN COOL - MAN HEAT -OFF - AUTO - A/C
COLD OPN - -25°C to 10°C located on the over-
head control panel, controls cockpit and mission
avionics compartment heating and air conditioning.
When the cabin temperature mode selector switch is
set to the AUTO position, the heating and air condi-
tioning systems are automatically controlled. Con-
trol signals from the temperature control box are
transmitted to the bleed air heat exchanger bypass
valves. Here the temperature of the air flowing to
the cabin is regulated by the bypass valves control-
ling the amount of air bypassing the heat exchang-
ers. When the temperature of the cabin has reached
the temperature setting of the cabin temperature
control rheostat, the automatic temperature control
allows hot air to bypass the air-to-air exchangers
admitting hot air into the cabin. When the bypass
valves are in the fully closed position, allowing no
air to bypass the heat exchangers, the air conditioner
begins to operate, providing additional cooling.
When the cabin temperature mode selector switch is
set to the A/C COLD OPN position, the air condi-
tioning system is in continuous operation. The cabin
temperature control rheostat, in conjunction with
the cabin temperature control sensor, provides regu-
lation of cockpit and mission equipment compart-
ment temperature. Bleed air heat is added as
required to maintain the temperature selected by the
cabin temperature control rheostat.
(5.)
Cabin temperature control rheostat. A
control knob placarded CABIN TEMP - INCR,
2-54
located on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-12),
provides regulation of cabin temperature when the
cabin temperature mode selector switch is set to the
AUTO or the A/C COLD OPN position. A tempera-
ture sensing unit in the cabin, in conjunction with
the setting of the cabin temperature control rheostat,
initiates a heat or cool command to the temperature
controller for the desired cockpit or mission avionics
compartment environment.
(6.)
Manual temperature control switch. A
switch placarded MANUAL TEMP - INCR -
DECR, located on the overhead control panel (fig.
2-12), controls cockpit and mission avionics com-
partment temperature with the cabin temperature
mode selector switch set to the MAN HEAT posi-
tions. The manual temperature control switch con-
trols cockpit and mission avionics temperature by
providing a means of manually changing the amount
that the bleed air bypass valves are opened or
closed. To increase cabin temperature the switch is
held to the INCR position. To decrease cabin tem-
perature, the switch is held to the DECR position.
Approximately 30 seconds per valve is required to
drive the bypass valves to the fully open or fully
closed position. Only one valve moves at a time.
(7.) Forward vent blower switch. The for-
ward vent blower is controlled by a switch placarded
VENT BLOWER - AUTO - LO - HI, located on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-12). In the auto posi-
tion the fan will run at low speed except when the
cabin temperature mode selector switch is set to the
OFF position, in this case the blower will not oper-
ate.
(8.) Aft vent blower switch. The aft vent
blower is controlled by a switch placarded AFT
VENT BLOWER - OFF - AUTO - ON, located on
the overhead control panel (fig. 2-l 2). The single
speed blower operates automatically through the
cabin temperature mode selector switch when the aft
vent blower switch is placed in the AUTO position.
The blower runs continuously when the switch is
placed in the ON position, In the OFF position, the
blower will not operate.
