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 sys-
tems are automatically controlled. When the temper-
ature 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. By-pass air is hot. Heat exchanger air is
cooled to approximately 30°F above ambient (out-
side) air. The warm bleed air is mixed with the
cooled air. The rear evaporator picks up recirculated
cabin air only.
NOTE
The automatic mode control works as
described, when the cabin is being cooled
by bleed air. However, when the cabin is
heated with bleed air and the selected
temperature is reached, hot bleed air
routes through the heat exchanger for
cooling in order to maintain the desired
temperature.
(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
30º 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, initi-
ates a heat or cool command to the temperature
controller for desired cockpit and cabin environ-
ment.
d.
Manual Mode Control. With the cabin tem-
perature 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 auto-
matic system is overridden and the system is con-
trolled by opening and closing the bypass valves
(two) with the MANUAL TEMP - INCR - DECR
switch. To increase cabin temperature, hold the
switch at the INCR position, to decrease cabin tem-
perature, hold the switch in the DECR position.
Allow approximately 30 seconds per valve to drive
the bypass valves to the fully open or fully closed
position. Only one valve moves at a time.
(2.) With the cabin temperature selector
switch in the MAN COOL position, the automatic
temperature control system is bypassed. 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
30º from full open, the refrigeration system will turn
off. Hold the MANUAL TEMP switch in the DECR
position approximately one minute to fully close air-
to-air heat exchanger bypass valves.
(3.) Bleed air entering the cabin is con-
trolled by bleed air valve switches placarded BLEED
AIR VALVE - OPEN - ENVIRO OFF -PNEU &
ENVIRO OFF. When the switch is in the OPEN
position, the environmental flow control unit and
the pneumatic valve are open. When the switch is in
the ENVIRO OFF position, the environmental flow
control unit is closed and the pneumatic bleed air
valve is open; in the PNEU & ENVIRO OFF posi-
tion, both are closed. For maximum cooling on the
ground, turn the bleed air valve switches to the
ENVIRO OFF position.
(4.)
The forward vent blower is controlled
by a switch placarded VENT BLOWER - AUTO -
LOW - HI. The HI and LOW positions regulate the
blower to two speeds of operation. IN the AUTO
position, the fan will run at low speed except when
the CABIN TEMP mode selector switch is placed in
the OFF position. In the OFF position, the blower
will not operate.
(5.)
The aft vent blower is controlled by a
switch placarded AFT VENT BLOWER - OFF -
AUTO - ON. The single speed blower operates auto-
matically through the CABIN TEMP mode selector
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.
