compartment and the mix manifold. The system also
calculates the heating necessary for each temperature
control zone. These are the temperature control zones:

- Flight compartment zone

- Passenger cabin zones (2).

Air from the pneumatic system adds heat to a zone that

needs warmer air. The trim air pressure regulating and
shutoff valve gives on/off control and keeps trim air
pressure at a necessary limit.

The zone trim air modulating valves control the heat

added to the conditioned air for each zone.

Recirculation

This part of the A/C system recycles approximately 50

percent of the cabin air for ventilation purposes. This
reduces the quantity of fresh air from the pneumatic
system for ventilation. The left and right
recirculation fans and filters are the primary
components.

Condenser

The condenser decreases the temperature of the air in

the air conditioning pack to below the dew point,
changing water vapor into liquid.

Ram Air System

The ram air system controls the quantity of outside

ambient air that flows through the heat exchangers.

On the ground and in flight with the flaps not up, the
turbofan helps the cooling airflow through the ram air
system.

Water Extraction

The water extraction collects and removes moisture from

the air before it goes into the distribution system.

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - RAM AIR EXHAUST MODULATION LOUVER ASSEMBLY
Purpose

The ram air exhaust exit assembly controls airflow

through the ram air system during flight.

Physical Description

The ram air exhaust consists of three louvers at each

ram air exit. The louvers are parallel to each other
and are supported at either end by a support angle. The
arms have splines to mate with the outboard end of each
louver and are linked together at the other end of the
arm. This makes sure there is simultaneous movement of
all louvers.

The forward arm mates with a torque shaft that extends

from the arm to the ram air actuator. As the actuator
moves, the louvers turn to decrease or increase the
exhaust area. Because the torque shaft is connected to
the crank that operates the ram air inlet modulation
panel control cables, movement of the exit louvers and
the inlet modulation panel is at the same time.

Functional Description

The ram air inlet modulation panels are made of two

panel sections. The forward end of the forward panel is
hinged to structure and its aft end is hinged to the
forward end of the aft panel section. The aft end of
the aft panel section has rollers in tracks that allow
movement forward and aft. Two cranks with rollers move
the forward end of the aft panel inboard or outboard to
open or close the inlet. The cranks attach to a shaft
which is operated by the ram air actuator through a
cable system.

The deflector door is hinged at its forward edge to

airplane structure and is flush in the inlet when
retracted. This prevents interference with ram airflow
into the ram air ducts. A mechanical linkage connected
to the modulation panel cable system causes the
deflector door to be extended when the airplane is on
the ground. The deflector door helps prevent foreign
material from the ram air system when the airplane is
on the ground.

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - RAM AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Purpose

The ram air sensor supplies temperature data to the

pack/zone temperature controller.

Location

The ram air sensor is in the air conditioning

compartment. It is in the duct that connects the
compressor section of the ACM to the secondary heat
exchanger.

There is a ram air sensor for each pack ram air system.

Physical Description

The ram air sensor has a stainless steel probe housing.

The probe housing attaches to the electrical connector
and is hermetically sealed.

Functional Description

The ram air sensor is a thermistor bead element. The

resistance of the temperature sensing element changes
as the air temperature changes.
21-50-00-830 Rev 1 02/14/1999

The pack/zone temperature controller uses the

resistance of the temperature sensor in a control
bridge. When the temperature is more or less than 230F
(110C), the controller changes the position of the ram
air inlet modulation panel.

Functional Description

The turbofan control valve is an electrically

controlled, pneumatically actuated, pressure regulating
shutoff valve. The valve regulates the downstream
pressure to 30 psi.

When 28v dc is applied to the open coil of the

solenoid, the latching solenoid valve opens. This lets
air pressure from upstream of the turbofan valve go
supplied to the valve actuator. If the actuator supply
pressure is greater than 8 psi, it is relieved by the
bleed off regulator.

The turbofan valve downstream pressure is sensed by the

sensing selector. If the downstream pressure is more
than 30 psi, the sensing selector opens. This lets air
into the valve actuator move the valve towards closed
position until the downstream pressure is back to 30
psi.

Functional Description

The turbofan valve is electrically controlled. It has

two latching solenoids, open and close. When the
airplane is on the ground, the open solenoid energizes
if the ram air actuator is retracted.

After takeoff, the turbofan valve remains open until

the flaps are up and the ram air actuator is extended

deenergizes and the close solenoid energizes.

On approach, when the flaps are lowered, the close

solenoid is deenergized and the open solenoid
energizes. The turbofan valve opens.

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - TURBOFAN
Purpose

The turbofan provides airflow through the ram air

system during low flow conditions. The low flow
conditions are:

- Airplane on the ground

- Airplane in flight with the flaps not up.

Location

The two turbofans are in the air conditioning

compartments, at the aft end of the ram air ducting
just upstream of the ram air exhaust.

Physical Description

The turbofan is a two-stage turbine that drives a fan.

The turbine receives air through the turbofan valve.
When the turbofan operates, outside air is drawn
through the ram air system and heat exchangers. The air
then exhausts overboard through the ram air exhaust.

Training Information Point

A dipstick on the side of the turbofan is used to

21-50-00-834 Rev 1 01/26/1999

measure the oil level. There is one oil sump drain plug
on the bottom of the turbofan. If the oil level is
below the fill line on the dipstick, servicing should
be done. Oil servicing is through the dipstick port.
The oil sump holds 500cc of oil.

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - STANDBY TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Functional Description

The standby temperature control valve is electrically

and pneumatically controlled and pneumatically
operated.

If the condenser begins to ice, differential pressure

across the condenser is sensed. This differential
pressure acts on the high pressure delta P servo.

The servo operates a poppet valve to control the

actuation pressure that goes from the reference
pressure regulator to the pneumatic actuator. This
opens the valve and increases the hot air flow into the
condenser. With the increased hot airflow, the
condenser will deice and the valve closes.

Electrical control of the standby temperature control

valve is part of the standby mode of operation. The
standby temperature control electrically moves a
flapper in the electromagnetic control valve to control
actuation pressure to the pneumatic actuator.

If there are simultaneous signals from the differential

pressure sensors and the electromagnetic control valve,
the device with the higher demand has priority.

AIR CONDITIONING -- COOLING - STANDBY CONTROL - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Purpose

The standby temperature control provides temperature

control of the pack output if there is a pack automatic
control failure.

Functional Description

When you put the pack switch to the AUTO/HIGH position,

K13 PACK/HIGH relay energizes if the K7 pack valve
closed relay is open. When K13 is energized, the
pack/zone controller is enabled. If the pack automatic
temperature control fails, there is an activate standby
pack command signal. This connects the opposite
controller to the standby temperature control valve for
temperature control.

The standby pack control uses the standby temperature

control valve to regulate the output of the pack.

If all zone and auto pack temperature controls fail,

the analog standby pack temperature controls will
satisfy the average temperature demand of the two
passenger cabin zones. The flight compartment zone is
not used.
21-50-00-806 Rev 1 03/27/2001

NOTE: If the auto and standby pack temperature controls

fail, the pack should be shutdown. If this is not
done, the pack continues to operate until an
overtemperature condition occurs.

Functional Description

Pack protection is a function of these three switches:

- Compressor discharge overheat switch

- Turbine inlet overheat switch
- Pack discharge duct overheat switch

The switches are normally open. When an overheat

condition occurs, the overheat switch closes. This
energizes the pack overheat relay. When the pack
overheat relay energizes, power is supplied to the
close solenoid of the flow control and shutoff valve.

These are the indications when a pack trip occurs:

- PACK amber light

- MASTER CAUTION and AIR COND annunciator lights.

The overheat relay latches in the overheat position.

When the condition that caused the pack trip off is
corrected, push the TRIP RESET switch on the air
conditioning/bleed air control panel to de-energize the
overheat relay.

Training Information Point

21-50-00-827 Rev 1 04/22/1999

If the PACK light comes on and the pack can be reset,

the heat exchangers may be obstructed or dirty.

If the PACK light comes on and the pack can not be

reset, do a test of the compressor discharge and
turbine inlet overheat switches.

AIR CONDITIONING -- MAIN AIR DISTRIBUTION - INTRODUCTION
General

The two air conditioning packs supply the main

distribution manifold with conditioned air. The main
distribution manifold supplies air to the passenger
compartment through riser ducts and an overhead
distribution manifold. A moisture drain line lets
moisture in the main distribution manifold drain
overboard.

Location

The main air distribution components are in the

distribution compartment aft of the forward cargo
compartment. There are manifolds and ducts along the
sidewalls and above the ceiling area of the passenger
cabin.

Interfaces

The main air distribution subsystem has interfaces with

these sub-subsystems:

- Recirculation system
- Ground conditioned air connector
- Pack conditioned air

Purpose You can adjust the overhead outlets airflow direction
with a moveable baffle. Airflow cannot be shut off.
The flight compartment conditioned air distribution
system supplies the flight crew with conditioned air. The air distribution supply ducts in the flight
compartment include metering orifices and mufflers. The
General metering orifices control flow. The mufflers decrease
air noise.
The left air conditioning pack supplies the conditioned
air for the flight compartment. The air flows through
ducts that go forward along the left side of the
airplane. The flight compartment distribution uses
different ducts than the passenger compartment
distribution.

The flight compartment receives conditioned air from

the right pack if the left pack is not operational.

The flight compartment distribution lets the flight

crew select a different air temperature than the other
areas of the airplane.

AIR CONDITIONING -- RECIRCULATION SYSTEM - RIGHT RECIRCULATION FAN - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Functional Description

The recirculation fan operates on 115v ac and control

power is 28v dc.

The cabin air recirc fan relay R331 enables power to

the fan. The relay is controlled by:

- Airplane is on the ground

- RECIRC FAN switch
- Recirculation fan overheat switches in the fan
field coils
- Flow control valve (pack valve) closed and auto
relays.

Usually, the RECIRC FAN switch is in the AUTO position

and the fan overheat switches are closed.

The flow control valve closed and auto relays and

air/ground relay form a logic circuit for the fan relay
R331 and are in the air conditioning accessory units
(ACAU). This logic looks at pack flow conditions. If
one (L or R) of the pack valve closed relays is
energized, the recirculation fan operates to increase
cabin ventilation. If one (L or R) of the pack valves
have their auto relays energized, the recirculation fan

AIR CONDITIONING -- TEMPERATURE CONTROL - DUCT OVERHEAT SWITCH
Purpose

The duct overheat switch sends an overheat signal to

close the trim air modulating valve. Also, it sends a
signal to turn on the ZONE TEMP light.

Location

The flight compartment duct overheat switch is in the

distribution bay on the left side.

There is a forward and an aft passenger cabin duct

overheat switch. The forward cabin duct overheat switch
is in the overhead duct forward of the left forward
riser. The aft passenger cabin duct overheat switch is
in the overhead duct aft of the right aft riser.

Physical Description

The duct overheat switch is vapor pressure actuated

switch. The duct overheat switch has these parts:

- Probe
- Electrical connector

Functional Description
21-60-00-823 Rev 1 03/27/2001

When the temperature in the duct is 190F (88C), a

liquid in the probe creates a vapor. The vapor in the
probe operates a spring that operates an electrical
switch. This energizes a relay in the air conditioning
accessory unit. The relay turns on the ZONE TEMP light
and closes the trim air modulating valve.
