-The aircraft engines are the primary source of compressed air in flight.

*CFM-The air is bled from the 5th (IP) or 9th stage of the engine High Pressure (HP) compressor.
*PW-The air is bled from the 3rd (IP) or 8th stage of the engine High Pressure (HP) compressor.
*IAE-The air is bled from the 7th or 10th stage of the engine High Pressure (HP) compressor.
-The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is the primary source of compressed air on the ground.
-The APU can supply bleed air up to an altitude of 20000 ft.
-The APU supply duct is installed along the left hand side of the to the wheel well area. It then goes
across the aircraft centerline and continues forward to be connected to the crossbleed duct in the forward
belly fairing area.The APU bleed supply is connected to the left side of the crossbleed duct.
-On the ground, a HP ground power unit can be connected to the left side pneumatic system. The right
side can be supplied by opening the crossbleed valve.

LEAK DETECTION
-The leak detection system is organized into three loops. Here are the loops and the protected areas:
- PYLON: the pre-cooler outlet area,
- WING: wing leading edge and belly fairing,
- APU: APU aft supply duct (left hand side of the fuselage) from APU firewall to wheel well area.

*The pneumatic system gets electrical power from the DC system of the aircraft. The DC system supplies
28 V DC through the circuit breakers 2HA1, 2HA2, 3HA1 and 3HA2 to:
· the Bleed Air Monitoring Computers,
· the relays of the AIR COND overhead panel,
· the FIRE overhead panel,
· the pressure transducers.

#PRESSURE REGULATION COMPONENTS

The pressure regulation components are on the engines:
- the Engine High Pressure Valve (HPV),
- the Engine BLEED PRV,
- the OPV.

#TEMPERATURE REGULATION COMPONENTS

The temperature regulation components are on the engines and in the pylons:
- the FAV,
- the Precooler.

**bleed pressure is pneumatically regulated by:

-High Pressure (HP) Valve (VLV) when air is supplied by the HP stage,
-by the Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) when the air is supplied by the Intermediate Pressure (IP) stage.

#HP VALVE
-The HP VLV pneumatically regulates the air supply between 8 and 36 psi. The HP VLV is forced to
close when the PRV is closed via the PRV/HP VLV sense line. In flight, the Electronic Engine Control
(EEC) for IAE V2500-A5 engines maintains the HP VLV closed.

**The solenoid will be energized (HP VALVE CLOSED) by the EEC when:
- the engine is above idle, the pressure PS3 is greater than 110 psi for the single aisle family IAE V2500:
- the Wing Anti-Ice (WAI) is OFF,
- the altitude is over 15,000 ft,
- the pack configuration is normal.
PRV/CONTROL SOLENOID
-The control solenoid operates in two modes, pneumatic and electric, causing complete closure of the
PRV.
*The pneumatic mode is used for:
- reverse flow protection - the PRV is closed when a delta pressure between the precooler outlet and the
PRV inlet is detected.
*The electrical mode with PRV shut-off function through energization of the control solenoid is used
when:
- the ENGine BLEED P/B is selected "OFF",
- the ENGine FIRE P/B is RELEASED OUT,

*The solenoid is automatically energized by the BMC in the following cases:

- over-temperature downstream of the precooler - the heat exchanger outlet temperature sensor senses a
temperature above 257°C (527°F),
- overpressure downstream of the PRV when the pressure-regulated transducer senses a pressure greater
than 57 psi,
- leak detection in pylon/wing/fuselage ducts and surrounding areas,
- APU bleed valve not closed,
- corresponding starter valve not closed.

*OPV
-The Overpressure Valve (OPV), which is normally open, closes pneumatically. The OPV starts to
close at 75 psi. It is fully closed at 85 psi and opens again at around 35 psi.

*REGULATED PRESSURE-reads the regulated pressure downstream from the PRV.

-indicated on the ECAM.

*TRANSFERRED PRESSURE-reads the transferred pressure downstream from the High Pressure
Valve (HPV). This pressure is used to monitor the PRV and the HPV.

*FAV/CONTROL THERMOSTAT-located downstream from the precooler.

-The Fan Air Valve (FAV) pneumatically regulates the fan airflow to the precooler for bleed air
temperature regulation at 200°C (392°F). The FAV is pneumatically controlled by an external servo
control.

*HEAT EXCHANGER OUTLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR

-connected to both BMCs,reads the regulated temperature downstream from the precooler..
- indicated on the ECAM.

* APU BLEED
- the Load Control Valve of Honeywell APU 131-9A are electrically controlled by the ECB (solenoid)
and pneumatically operated. In the absence of air pressure or electrical power, the valves are spring-
loaded closed.
- Bleed Control Valve for the APIC APU is electrically controlled and fuel operated by a servo valve.
(ECB) controls the servo valve and fuel muscle pressure opens or closes the APU bleed valve. In the
absence of fuel pressure or electrical power, the valve shuts off the bleed supply to the aircraft
pneumatic system.
* X-BLEED SYSTEM
- The (X-BLEED) valve is an electrically controlled shut-offvalve operated by two electrical DC
motors.
- the primary motor is used for AUTOmatic mode. The Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC) controls
the position of the valve according to the APU bleed configuration.
- the secondary motor is used for manual operation. The X-BLEED selector on the overhead panel
controls the position of the valve.

OPEN position is used for:

- left and right pack supply using single engine bleed,

- left and right Wing Anti-Ice supply using single engine bleed,
- left and right pack supply using ground air supply,
- Engine crossbleed start using opposite engine bleed,
- Engine 2 start using ground air supply.
SHUT position is used to:
- confirm automatic closure during bleed leak detection.

* The main components of the valve are:

· the valve body · the butterfly plate· the double motor actuator· the manual override lever
-Motor 1 for Auto operation and Motor 2 for manual operation,both works independently.
- A brake system in each motor locks the butterfly plate in OPEN position when the electrical power
supply stops.
- When the valve is in its fully open or closed position, limit switches in the actuator automatically stop
the electrical power supply to the motors.
- The valve also has a manual override lever which permits the operation of the butterfly plate without
electrical power.

APU AIR BLEED SELECTION

- When the APU BLEED P/BSW is selected in the ON position the APU bleed valve opens,
1) the Pressure Regulator Valves (PRVs) are maintained electrically closed
2) the X BLEED valve is automatically opened, provided the X BLEED valve selector is in the
AUTOmatic position.
POWER SUPPLY:
1)ESSENTIAL BUS PROVIDE 28V DC TO SECONDARY MOTOR OF X BLEED VALVE.
2)NORMAL BUS PROVIDE 28V DC TO PRIMARY MOTOR OF X BLEED VALVE.

ENGINE AIR BLEED SELECTION

-1) When one engine or both engines run and the APU runs,each PRV remains electrically closed by the
BMC,till APU bleed valve is opened.
-2) When the APU BLEED valve P/BSW is released out, the APU bleed valve closes, the X BLEED
valve closes automatically and the PRVs open.

HP/IP ENGINE STAGE PRIORITY

- With both throttle levers in the idle position, the HP (High Pressure) Valves (VLVs) are open and
supplying air.
-When the power of the engines is increased to the Takeoff (TO) position, the HP VLV is closed, and the
bleed air is supplied by the Intermediate Pressure (IP) stage
- When the engines are shut down, the PRV, Fan Air Valve (FAV) and HP VLV are springloaded closed
due to the lack of air pressure.
GROUND AIR SUPPLY:

The ground air supply is provided by a ground air cart connected to the HP ground connector. Only the
LH bleed system is supplied. When the X BLEED valve selector is selected in the OPEN position, the
ground air supply is available to feed the LH and RH bleed system.

Each Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC) has three types of inputs:

- DIGITAL INPUTS via ARINC 429 buses, from the opposite BMC, corresponding Engine Interface
Unit (EIU) and Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU),
- ANALOG INPUTS from the bleed sensors,
- DISCRETE INPUTS from valve position switches, BMC and overhead panel. 28V DC power is
supplied for energization of the bleed Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) control solenoid.

Each BMC has two types of outputs:

- DIGITAL OUTPUTS via ARINC 429 buses to the System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs) for
ECAM warnings and indications,the CFDIUs for maintenance purposes, and the opposite BMC for bleed
monitoring purposes,
- DISCRETE OUTPUTS to the APU Electronic Control Box (ECB) for APU availability, to the overhead
panel for bleed faults, to the cross bleed valve, control solenoid and Air Conditioning System Controller
(ACSC).

PNEUMATIC LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM

Protected areas with double loop for:
- RH wing and pack 2, - LH wing, pack 1 and mid fuselage APU duct(wheel well to check valve)
Protected areas with single loop for:
- LH and RH pylons - AFT fuselage APU duct(APU bleed valve to check valve)

WARNING LOGIC
- Both Bleed Monitoring Computers (BMCs) receive signals from the leak detection loops. They
exchange data via an ARINC bus for the wing double loop detection.
- The APU loop is connected to BMC 1 only.
- The pylon loop is connected to the related BMC.
- The wing loops A are connected to BMC 1 and wing loops B to BMC 2. The crosstalk bus allows wing
leak warnings to be activated through an AND logic.

FAULT LOGIC
- ENG BLEED FAULT light comes on : leak is detected by the wing loops A and B or by the pylon loop.
- APU BLEED FAULT light comes on : when an APU duct leak is detected.

- If one BMC is failed, the adjacent BMC takes over monitoring of the bleed system and ensures
the following ECAM warnings:
- OVERPRESSure,
- OVERTEMPerature,
- WING LEAK.

* If one BMC is failed, associated bleed valve does not close automatically. The ENG BLEED LEAK
warning is lost for the associated engine as well as the APU BLEED LEAK warning if BMC 1 is failed.
WING LEAK DETECTION ELEMENT MONITOR:
- wing leading edge (wing anti-ice supply duct),
- air conditioning compartment (pack supply,crossbleed manifold, APU supply, ground air supply),
- APU forward supply duct (from the APU check valve through the wheel well).

*If leak found in any section, associated valves are automatically controlled to close if they were open.
*APU and cross bleed (X-BLEED) valves do not close duringMain Engine Start (MES).

ENGINE START WITH GROUND AIR:

On the ECAM BLEED page, the GND indication DOES NOT indicate ground air supply connected or
available. This indication appears when the aircraft is on the ground to show that the ground air is directly
supplied to the LEFT side of the system only. The left bleed system pressure indicator will indicate
pressure when the ground air is supplied.

*Honeywell APU 131-9A:

The APU has a APU bleed load valve and a surge control valve.
-when the APU bleed load valve is in the open position. The supply of the bleed-air is in accordance
with demand of the user systems.
-The pressure of the APU bleed-air is kept in its set tolerance by the surge control valve.

-The APU bleed load valve has:

· a valve flow section,
· two position indicator switches and a visual position indicator,
· a pneumatic actuator and an actuator cover,
· a solenoid valve assembly.

*APIC APU:
It has a valve section with a butterfly flap, an actuator and a servo valve. A fixed link linear rotary-
actuator moves the butterfly flap. The actuator is controlled by a servo valve which is operated by fuel
pressure.

-The APU bleed control valve consists of a spherical body with three flanged connections. It has a valve
section with a butterfly flap, an actuator and a servovalve. The butterfly flap is driven by the fixed link
linear rotary actuator. The rotary actuator is controlled by the servovalve which is operated by fuel
pressure from the fuel control unit.
-The ECB sends control current signals to the two solenoids of the servo valve. This allows the fuel
pressure to move the actuator and position the butterfly flap in the demanded position.
-A Linear Voltage Differential Transducer (LVDT) transmits position signals to the ECB. The LVDT is
located inside the piston of the actuator.

*Honeywell APU 131-9A AND APIC APU BLEED CHECK VALVE:

- flapper-type air valve
- The low-forced spring holds the valve flaps in the closed position. The valve flaps open when the
differential pressure is at approximately 0.0025 bar (0.0363 psi).

-The start sequence of the APU is complete when the APU acquires 95% speed.
-Above the acquired 95% speed the APU is obtainable for the supply of bleed-air and electrical.

Protection of the PYLON:

-The leading edge of the pylon fairing and the pylon/wing interface have each one pressure relief
door. The overpressure in this area is limited to 0.2 bar (2.90 psi) by the pressure relief doors.
Protection of the Wing Leading Edge:
-BLOW DOWN type five access panel located lower the leading edge of wing.
-panel 1,2,3 located inboard side -panel 4,5 located outboard side.
-They are a protection against too much overpressure caused by leaks in the anti-icing duct.
-A pressure relief valve installed in the belly fairing.The valve opens at a pressure of 0.15 bar (2.17 psi)
(relative) and the pressure is discharged into the main landing gear bay

Protection of the Nacelle:

-core compartment: Hinges and spring-loaded latches hold the relief door closed. A large overpressure
in the compartment, caused by leaks or breaks in an IP or HP bleed duct, blows the relief door open
(differential opening pressure 2.60 psi (0.18 bar).
- Fan Compartment: A pressure relief door is installed in the fan cowl. This door will stay open to give a
visual indication of the past abnormal internal pressure (differtial pressure of 2.50 psi (0.17 bar).

INDICATING SYSTEM:
- The indicating system gets electrical power from the aircraft DC system which supplies 28VDC
- ENG 1 BLEED (ENG 2 BLEED) pushbutton switch controls the engine 1 (2) pressure-regulator valve.
-W hen the FAULT legend of the ENG1 BLEED (ENG2 BLEED) pushbutton switch comes on, the related
bleed pressure regulator valve automatically closes.
:automatically close.

PRESSURE MONITORING:
-Two pressure transducers are installed on a bracket in each pylon.
-In each transducer,On one side, the housing has a pneumatic port for the sensing line. On the opposite
side, there is an electrical connector. In the pressure transducer, a measure cell contains a silicide plate.
This cell is a part of the resistance bridge (Wheatstone bridge). The housing also contains a section for
the signal amplification.

bleed transferred pressure transducer:

· To give the HP VALVE FAULT ECAM warning if the transferred pressure is less than 23 psi during
more than 15 sec. and if the HP bleed valve is fully closed.
· To give the AIR ENG ABNORMAL PRESS ECAM warning.

bleed regulated pressure transducer:

· To give the AIR ENG BLEED FAULT ECAM warning if the regulated pressure is more than 57 psi
during more than 15 sec. and if the bleed-pressure regulator valve is not fully closed.
· To give the WING ANTI ICE INOP ECAM status (that comes from the zone controller through the
BMC 1 or 2) when there is not sufficient bleed air to supply the wing anti-ice system, (when the
regulated pressure is out of the 12/60 psi range).
· To give the AIR ENG ABNORMAL PRESS ECAM warning if the regulated pressure is less than 23 psi
and if the transferred pressure is in the 12/38 psi range.
· To transmit the regulated pressure data for display on the BLEED ECAM page.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING:
-temperature sensor: is installed downstream of the precooler. It is installed in the elbow of the pneumatic
duct in the left (right) pylon.
-Each temperature sensor consists of a housing with a threaded portion and a sealed tube on one side.
On the opposite side, there is an electrical connector. The tube contains two sensitive elements. Each
electrical resistance of the sensitive elements is analyzed in two different receivers.
- It has two platinum resistance wires. Each wire transmits a signal to the BMCs. The BMCs monitor
the temperature of the system.
DETECTION LOOPS:
PYLON SINGLE 205 °C
LH WING / RH WING DOUBLE 125 °C
APU SINGLE 125 °C

Leak Detection Loops:

- The aircraft leak detection system is divided into LH and RH zones by the crossfeed valve in the
crossfeed duct.
- Both wing/fuselage leak detection systems are made up of twin loops (A and B) of overheat sensing
elements.This eliminates the possibility of incorrect warnings, due to an AND logic.
- In each of the pylons, there is a single loop. Each loop is located near the pylon ventilation duct.
-A single loop system is installed along the bleed air duct between the APU check valve and the APU
bleed.

Loop material:
- The overheat sensing elements have a solid nickel center conductor set in a ceramic insulation of
porous aluminum oxide. An inconel tube contains these components and is sealed at both ends.
Eutectic salt fills the space between the tubing, the ceramic insulation and the center conductor. This
mixture is compounded to give a signal at alarm temperature. For the wing and fuselage, the alarm
temperature is 124 plus or minus 7 deg.C. The pylon alarm temperature quantity is 204 plus or
minus 12 deg.C. The impedance between the conductor and the outer tubing decreases suddenly when
the alarm temperature Is reached. At this temperature, the center conductor grounds and gives an alarm
signal.

Leak (Overheat) Detection:

The two bleed air monitor computers (BMC 1 and BMC 2) monitor the seven detection loops (Loops A
and B,LH wing, Loops A and B, RH wing, LH and RH pylon loops and fuselage loop).

PRV:
-butterfly-type valve, normally spring-loaded closed in absence ofupstream pressure. A minimum
upstream pressure of 8 psig is necessary to open the valve.
-The PRV pneumatically regulates the downstream pressure to 44 plus or minus 3 psig.

-It closes automatically in the following cases :

· overtemperature downstream of the precooler exchanger (257 plus or minus 3) deg.C (60 s delay)
· overpressure downstream of the PRV (57 plus or minus 3) psig (15 s delay)
· ambient overheat in pylon/wing/fuselage duct surrounding areas
· APU bleed valve not closed
· corresponding starter valve not closed.
It is controlled in closed position by crew action on:
· ENG FIRE pushbutton switch
· ENG BLEED pushbutton switch.

-The PRV closes pneumatically in case of impending reverse flow to the engine. The Overpressure
Valv(OPV) installed downstream of the PRV protects the system against damage if overpressure occurs.
-A sense line (1/4 in. dia.) connects the PRV to the HP Bleed Valve in order to close the HP Bleed Valve
if the PRV is closed or controlled to close.
-The thermal fuse installed in the valve body causes the valve to close at 450 plus or minus 25 deg.C.

PRV CONTROL SOLENOID:(ROD VALVE IS PART OF SOLENOID CONTROL)

1.Temperature Limitation
-When the temperature downstream of bleed air precooler exchanger increases and reaches 235 deg.C
(455 deg.F), the INVAR rod in the sensing tube starts to open the rod valve by differential dilatation. This
cause a modification of the butterfly position of the bleed pressure regulator valve which tends to close to
reduce the downstream pressure.
-If the temperature increases up to 245 deg.C (473 deg.F) the rod valve will be full open and the bleed
pressure limited to 17.5 psig
2. Closure of bleed pressure regulator valve
-Solenoid valve is spring loaded to closed when solenoid is deenergized.

3. Non-return function
-The regulator diaphragm detects a differential pressure between downstream precooler exchanger and
upstream pressure regulator valve.
-When the difference between upstream and downstream pressure (Delta P) is lower than or equal to 10
mb, the diaphragm moves and opens the solenoid valve, causing the closure of the bleed pressure
regulator valve.

HP VALVE CONTROL SOLENOID:

-A solenoid is installed in the fan compartment. It is connected by a sense line to the HPVPRV coupling
sense line. When the engine is used with the old engine bleed air design,the Thrust Specific Fuel
Consumption (TSFC) increases,In this condition, the solenoid is energized by the Engine Electronic
Controller (EEC). It opens to ambient the HPV-PRV coupling sense line which lets HPV controlled close
pneumatically.

HP VALVE
- The HP Bleed Valve is a 4 in. dia. butterfly-type valve which operates as a shut-off and pressure
regulating valve.
- The HP bleed valve is normally spring-loaded closed in the absence of upstream pressure. A
minimum pressure of 8 psig is necessary to open the valve.
- The HP bleed valve pneumatically limits the downstream static pressure to 36 plus or minus 3 psig. It
closes fully pneumatically when the upstream static pressure reaches 120 psig plus 5 psig or
minus10 psig.
- A pneumatic sense line connects the HP bleed valve with the bleed (PRV) in order to make sure that the
HP bleed valve will close when bleed pressure regulator valve is controlled closed.

OPV
- OPV operation is fully pneumatic. It cannot be controlled from the cockpit.
- The OPV is a 4 in. dia. butterfly-type valve, whose operation is fully pneumatic. In normal conditions
the valve is spring-loaded open.
-If pressure rises from certain max lavel of pressure ,the OPV start to close.

Fan Air Valve (FAV)

- The FAV is a 5.5 in. dia. butterfly-type valve, normally spring - loaded closed in the absence of
pressure. A minimum upstream pressure of 8 psig is necessary to open the valve. The FAV regulates
the downstream precooler exchanger temperature to 200 plus or minus 15 deg.C (27 deg.F).
- A thermostat installed downstream of the precooler exchanger senses the hot air temperature and
sends to the valve a pressure signal corresponding to precooler cooling air demand. The FAV butterfly
takes a position from fully closed to fully open to maintain the temperature value of air bleed within limits.
- A thermal fuse installed on the valve body closes the valve if the nacelle temperature reaches 450 plus
or minus 25 deg.C.

Fan Air Valve Control Thermostat

- When the temperature downstream of the precooler exchanger is below the required value:
· the INVAR rod valve remains on its seat
· no air flows through the pressure regulator
· the FAV remains closed.
When the temperature is over the required value differential expansion between the INVAR rod and
the stainless steel sensing tube opens the rod valve causing the venting of the chamber A and thus
allowing a pressure signal through the thermostat to the opening chamber of the FAV.
· Between both values the FAV butterfly has an intermediate position.

NEO BLEED SYSTEM FUNCTION:

1.High Pressure Bleed Valve (HPV)

-butterfly-type valve which operates as a shut-off and pressure regulating valve. The HP bleed valve is

-It closes fully pneumatically when the upstream static pressure reaches 120 psig plus 5 psig or minus
10 psig.
-The two BMCs monitor and command the operation of the HP bleed valve by the control solenoid
installed in the body of the valve.
-When the solenoid is not energized, the HPV is commanded to the full closed position. When the
solenoid is energized but without pressure in the valve body, the HPV stays closed.

2.Bleed Pressure Regulator Valve (PRV)

-The PRV is a 4 in. dia. butterfly-type valve, electrically controlled to closed in absence of upstream

· When the torque-motor is energized but without pressure in the valve body
· Overtemperature downstream of the precooler exchanger (257 plus or minus 3) deg.C (60 s delay)
· Overpressure downstream of the PRV (57 plus or minus 3) psig (15 s delay)
· Ambient overheat in pylon/wing/fuselage ducts surrounding areas
· APU bleed valve not closed

It is controlled in closed position by crew action on:
· ENG FIRE pushbutton switch
· ENG BLEED pushbutton switch.

-When the torque-motor is energized but without pressure, the PRV stays closed.With the torque-motor
energized, the minimum upstream muscle pressure needed to operate the valve is 15 psig.
-In case of electrical failure of the EBAS, pressure control is ensured by the PRV in back-up pneumatic
control mode.

-The PRV closes pneumatically in case of impending reverse flow to the engine. The (OPV) installed
downstream of the PRV protects the system against damage if overpressure occurs.The BMC control the
HPV to close position if the PRV is closed or controlled to close.
-The thermal fuse
installed in the valve body causes the valve to close at 450 plus or minus 25 deg.C.

3.Bleed Pressure Sensor (BPS)

-The bleed pressure sensor (BPS) is a silicon type sensor with integrated interface,temperature
compensated, supplied 28 VDC from BMC.
-A sense line is installed between the BPS and downstream of PRV.

-A thermostat installed downstream of the precooler exchanger senses the hot air temperatureand sends
to the valve a pressure signal corresponding to precooler cooling air demand. The FAV butterfly takes a
position from fully closed to fully open to maintain the temperature value of air bleed in limits.
-The muscle pressure is supplied to the regulator by a pneumatic connection taped downstream the hot
side of the precooler.
: Without muscle pressure, the FAV body go to full closed.
: With muscle pressure but without current on the torque motor, the FAV body go to fully open.
-A thermal fuse installed on the valve body closes the valve if the nacelle temperature reaches 450 plus
or minus 25 deg.C

8. Bleed Manifold Pressure Sensor (BMPS)

-The BMPS is connected by a pneumatic sense line to pressure tapping on the bleed T-Ducts, upstream
the pressure regulating valve.
-The Bleed Monitoring Pressure Sensor (BMPS) is used to perform bleed port switching function. It is
also used to estimate the position of the HPV butterfly and to monitor the HPV and the PRV.

9. Bleed Monitor Control (BMC)

-The BMC is a 2 MCU ARINC 600 controller embedding two channels:
· Digital control channel (CHA)
· Hardware safety channel (CHB)

CHA is a full digital channel embedding all the control and monitoring functions to meet system
Requirements:
