TRIM AIR AND ZONE CONTROL SCHEMATIC
General Operation
The trim air system for the flight deck, forward auxiliary, forward, mid auxiliary, mid
and aft zones is enabled when either or both packs are operating. The packs pro-
vide hot air to the trim air pressure regulating valve.
The zone control system for the above zones is enabled when the trim air switch
is selected to ON.
The zone controller monitors the temperature sensors in the cabin zones, dis-
tribution ducting and mix manifold.
The controller compares the actual temperatures to the position of the rotary tem-
perature selectors on the temperature control panel.
The zone controller sends a demand signal to the (auto) pack temperature control-
lers to provide the coldest temperature required by the four primary cabin zones.
The zone controller regulates the trim air system in order to inject hot air to trim
up each individual zone, as required.
The auxiliary zone controller monitors the temperature sensors in the two auxilia-
ry zones and associated distribution ducting. By comparing these actual tempera-
tures to those selected by the FWD and MID zone rotary temperature selectors
on the temperature control panel, the auxiliary controller controls the position of
the forward auxiliary and mid auxiliary trim air modulating valves in order to supply
hot trim air to these areas, when required.

System Description
The following provides general information about the major subsystems
of the air conditioning system.
Air Conditioning Pack / Zone Temperature Control
The pneumatic system provides hot pressurized air to the two air
conditioning packs and the trim air system. The air conditioning packs
provide conditioned air. The trim air is added as required to maintain
selected temperatures and ventilation rates within the flight compartment,
main deck and forward cargo compartment.
Distribution
The distribution system connects the air conditioning packs and the trim
system to the temperature controlled zones. The zones are the flight
compartment, main deck and forward cargo compartment.
Supplemental Heating
Heating is provided to the forward, aft and bulk cargo compartments by air from
the pneumatic system.
The card transfers the information to the backup temperature control card and

cooling ram air across the primary and secondary heat exchangers. temperature control valve.
The air leaving the water extractor passes through the reheater to cool the air
going to the condenser.
Location
The LLV is centrally located in the pack. It is mounted in a duct that goes
between the flow control valve and the turbine outlet muff, parallel to the TCV.
Operation
Inlet--sensed pressure is ported to the reference pressure regulator where a
constant pressure is established at the regulator outlet.
Differential pressure across the high and low pressure sides of the condenser
is pneumatically sensed by two delta P servo valves.
An increase in differential pressure across the condenser, which is normally
caused by ice buildup, will open the respective servo valve and allow inlet
pressure to the open chamber of the pneumatic actuator, thus opening the
valve disk and allowing warm air to stabilize or inlet ice buildup in the
condenser.
The amount of actuator pressure is a function of the differential pressure
sensed.
Current (097 ma) to the electromagnetic control valve from either the pack
(AUTO) temperature controller or the standby pack Temperature controller will
open the electromagnetic control valve, in proportion to the current sensed, and
allow inlet pressure directly to the opening chamber of the pneumatic actuator.
For Training Purposes Only
In the event of simultaneous signals from the delta P servos and the
electromagnetic control valve, the greatest open command will control the
valve.
Operation
The shouldered shaft rotates the wiper arm of the linear variable resistor
assembly.
The 1 K ohm resistor provides a signal to the EICAS computer for valve
position.
The 10 K ohm resistor provides a feedback signal to the (AUTO) pack
temperature controller.
It is a split duct water separator and the water and air mixture removed is
ducted to the primary water extractor Collector.
Location
The muffler is mounted forward of the air conditioning pack, between the pack
outlet and the pack outlet check valve.
Physical Description
The Mufflers are an integral part of the pack outlet ducting.
The left pack outlet muffler is 10 inches (25 Cm) in diameter and is 18 inches
(46 Cm) long. The muffler shell is aluminum alloy sheet.
The insulating material is Nomex felt wrapped around a 7 inch (18 CM )
perforated duct. The attaching upstream and downstream duct segments are
welded to the muffler assembly.
The right pack outlet Muffler is similar to the left except for the following:
1) has an outside diameter of 12 inches (30 Cm) and
2) the length is 23 inches (58 cm).
For Training Purposes Only
Location
The ram air exhaust door is located on the underside of the fuselage to the
right aft side of the air conditioning compartment.
Physical Description / Features
The exhaust door is a single unit, constructed from an aluminum casting.
The door is attached to the aft portion of the exhaust duct housing with a hinge.
Inside the exhaust duct, two actuating rods connect the door to a torque tube
that is driven by an externally mounted electrical actuator.
Access to the hinge and internal actuating rods is through an access door,
secured with 24 bolts, located on top of the exhaust duct housing and
accessible by opening the large ECS access door.
Operation
The exhaust door, like the inlet door, is controlled by an electrical actuator
through mechanical linkage.
In the open position, the door uses the aft hinge as a pivot point, and rotates
up into the exhaust duct.
When the door is fully closed, the distance between the forward bottom edge of
the door and the exhaust duct is .84 +/-- .03.
For Training Purposes Only
Location
All of the above components are within the air conditioning compartment area.
The check valve is adjacent to the keel beam, forward of each pack and
attaches to the aft pressure bulkhead of the forward cargo compartment.
Cabin Air Supply Check Valve
The 3.6 lbs. (1.6 kg) valve is a single--flapper type. It consists of a spring--
loaded closed flapper, valve body, and an internal stop to limit flapper travel.
Ducting
The ducting within the pack(s) is Aluminum of various diameters.
The diameters range from 2 through 6 inches (5 through 15 cm). Depending
on the installation, three possible types of ends may be incorporated on the
ducts. They are the beaded types which allows V--band clamps to be used, a
flange type, that allows a coupling to be used, and a flat--flange type that bolts
directly together.
Clamps
Under the general subject of clamps, there are three types of clamping
methods that are utilized within the packs. The v--band type of clamps are
used throughout the pack where high temperatures are not encountered. The
second type is the coupling assembly. This type is used in areas that will en-
counter high temperatures. The clamps consist of flanges on the ducting, a
coupling duct with two internal peri--seals, and two restraint cables with

potential overheat.
At specific temperatures the controller responds as follows, in an attempt to
prevent a compressor overheat.
At 400°F (204°C) the RAM AIR system is commanded to full OPEN.
At 425°F (218°C) the HIGH FLOW mode of the flow control valve, if activated
and the pack is operating in the AUTO mode, is throttled back from the 165%
to 147%.
System description
The devices that provide for control of the cooling packs are two pack
temperature controllers, one standby pack temperature controller, two flow
control cards, and two backup temperature control cards.
General Component Locations
Controllers and logic cards for cooling pack operation are found in the main
equipment center.
For Training Purposes Only
Location
The pack standby temperature controller is located on the E3--2 rack in the
main equipment center.
Description
The pack standby temperature controller contains two identical but electrically
independent analog temperature control sections, one dedicated to each pack.
The front of the unit has a BITE rotary/push select switch and instructions.
For Training Purposes Only
Location
Both flow control cards are located in the P50 electrical systems card file in the
main equipment center.
Physical Description/Features
The flow control cards are one replaceable electrostatic sensitive units.
Pack Flow Control
Both control devices provide for ON/OFF and normal/high flow modes of
operation of the flow control valves (FCV). In addition they monitor for high
flow mode inhibits, inhibit failures and overheat conditions for their respective
pack.
They also provide indications of pack and FCV status for use by flight deck
annunciator, electronic engine control system, EICAS, and pack temperature
control.
For Training Purposes Only
The controller throttles down the high flow schedule during compressor outlet
temperature limiting. Additionally, the controller provides signals To indication
and EICAS.
Operation
To retrieve the analog discrete information, the initial/reference Index must first
be called up (step 1). This page can be called up from the Init/ref key an the
upper left corner of the CDU keys.
Either the position initialization, performance initialization or approach reference

Expansion
The air is expanded through the turbine section and in expanding generates
power to drive the compressor and fan Impellers. The turbine rapidly expands
the air resulting in turbine outlet temperatures that can be well below
freezing. (The large temperature drop may cause any moisture condensation
to form ice in the turbine outlet or atthe cold face of the condenser.)
Ice formation is prevented by bypassing some of the cold air around the
condenser core, and supplying hot air to the outlet of the turbine
(turbine Muff)
Turbine outlet air cools the air passing through the condenser on its
way to the water extractor. Turbine outlet air continues through a muffler
to reduce noise, through the cabin air check valve, and on to the mix manifold
for the distribution system.
For Training Purposes Only
Flow Control
The flow control and logic card provides control of the flow control
and shutoff valve. The pack control selector input to the card provides 0FF
And ON signals to valve. Various Signals to the logic card provide high
Flow commands to the valve. Other Signals automatically inhibit high
flow.
One of the two compressor outlet sensors and the overheat switch
function to provide air cycle machine compressor over--heat protection.
The sensor provides a signal to the pack temperature controller which acts to
limit compressor outlet temperature by opening the ram air doors at 400°F
(204°C), modulating the flow control and shutoff valve at 425°F (218°C)
(high flow throttling), modulating the low--limit valve at 450°F (232°C), and
providing an overheat signal if the compressor discharge temperature
reaches 490° F (254°C) . An overheat signal from either the overheat switch
or the pack temperature controller results in commanding the pack, and
latching it, to 0FF, which causes the closing of the flow control valve,
opening the ram air doors and opening the temperature control valve.
De--icing System
The low--limit control valve regulates the flow of air to the turbine outlet
in response to pneumatic signals. The valve is connected to sense a pressure
difference across the condenser (both high and low pressure sections) . If an
ice buildup starts, the increased pressure drop forces the low--limit
control valve to open. Warm air is then routed to the turbine outlet which
then flows into the condenser to reduce any ice accumulation.
For Training Purposes Only
Description
When selected the main deck cargo compartment ventilation is shut off by
four shutoff valves and the air conditioning pack status is reduced to
one pack operation in a low--flow mode to provide fresh air to the flight
compartment (for temperature control and smoke evacuation) .
As a result of reduced pack inflow and opening of the Electronic/Equipment
cooling smoke override valve, the airplane depressurizes. The main deck and
forward cargo compartment trim air modulating valves, the forward and aft
lower lobe cargo compartment heat valves and the forward cargo
compartment A/C shutoff valves close.
Operation
The fire suppression mode is enabled by pressing the cargo DEPR / DISCH
switch on the APU/Cargo fire panel, P--8. Once the system is enabled the
configuration of the air conditioning system changes as follows:

mode when the smoke mode is activated, the left pack is commanded to
low--flow, the left pack ram air inlet and exit doors are still commanded open
and the left pack temperature control valve is commanded open.
The right pack is commanded 0ff.
Location
The right FCV is mounted in the right air conditioning pack compartment
outboard of the condenser. The left FCV is mounted in left air conditioning
compartment, outboard of the air conditioning pack. The valve is
adjacent to the high pressure water separation components.
Description
The spring loaded closed, flow control and shutoff valve has a venturi--type
valve body with four--inch diameter ends. The valve is normally
electrically controlled through the useof one latching solenoid ( B ), two
non latching solenoids (A and 5), and one electromagnetic control valve.
The valve may be manually controlled, if required, by using the manual control
rod on solenoid E ( on/off control only ) . The valve is pneumatically
actuated and may be manually locked to the closed position by using the cam
assembly. Valve position is provided by a visual position indicator, that is
mounted on the same shaft as the valve disk. Valve position is also provided
to the airplane’s control circuitry by a close position switch. Two sensing
Probes, inlet and throat ( venturi ) pressure sensing assemblies are mounted
in the valve body and provide feedback to the zero differential pressure valve
For Training Purposes Only
Note that selection of 0FF or either of the STBY modes, the torque motor has
no current applied. Solenoid 5 activates the LOW flow ( smoke clearance )
schedule.
The flow through the valve at the various schedules is not affected by
varying air densities below 22,000 feet. Above 22,000 feet the flow will
decrease with an increase in altitude for all flow schedules except LOW flow.
This will prevent over bleeding the engine( s ), at high altitudes. Below
22,000 feet the NORMAL flow is approximately 75 lbs/mm (1000 cfm) and
HIGH flow may vary between 109 lbs/mm (1453 cfm) with no current applied to
the torque motor and 122 lbs/mm (1626 cfm) when more current is applied to
the torque motor. LOW flow is approximately 24 lbs/mm (320 cfm).
For Training Purposes Only
When Hl FLOW is commanded on, solenoid valve A energizes and alters the
inlet air balance to the zero differential pressure valve, the regulator reacts by
increasing the servo pressure to the pneumatic actuator. It opens more,
allowing a higher airflow through the valve. The actual airflow during Hl
FLOW is dependent on the Electro--magnetic control valve.
For Training Purposes Only
PURPOSE
The low limit valve (LLV) provides three functions. One, it provides de--icing for
the condenser and the outlet of the ACM’s turbine section during ah modes of
operation. Two, may be used by the pack temperature controller to unload
(bypass) the ACM In an attempt to prevent a compressor Overheat. Three, it
is used by the standby pack temperature controller to control the pack outlet
temperature during the STBY--N mode.
The temperature control valve (TCV) regulates the flow of hot air around or
through the ACM during the AUTO mode and may be either fully open or fully
close during all other modes.
Location
The LLV is centrally located in the Pack. It is mounted in a duct that goes
between the flow control valve and the turbine outlet muff, parallel to the TCV.
The TCV is installed in the compressor inlet duct, between the primary heat
exchanger outlet and the turbine outlet muff.
For Training Purposes Only
Differential pressure across the high and low pressure sides of the condenser
is pneumatically sensed by two delta P servo valves. An increase in differential
pressure across the condenser, which is normally caused by ice buildup, will
open the respective servo valve and allow inlet pressure to the open chamber
of the pneumatic actuator, thus opening the valve disk and allowing warm air
to stabilize or inelt ice buildup in the condenser. The amount of actuator
pressure is a function of the differential pressure sensed.
For Training Purposes Only
Current (O97 ma) to the electromagnetic control valve from either the pack
(AUTO) temperature controller or the standby pack Temperature controller will
open the electromagnetic control valve, in proportion to the current sensed,
and allow inlet pressure directly to the opening chamber of the pneumatic
actuator.
In the event of sinultaneous signals from the delta P servos and the electro
magnetic control valve, the greatest open command will control the valve.
For Training Purposes Only
The TCV may be manually opened or closed by rotating the manual override
knob clockwise to open or counterclockwise to close. Rotating the manual
override rotates the shouldered shaft to open or close the valve disk.
The primary heat exchanger cools preconditioned bleed air enroute to the
compressor section of the air cycle Machine. The secondary heat exchanger
cools the hot compressed air leaving the compressor section of the air cycle
machine.
The plenum directs the flow of ram air leaving the heat exchanger. The plenum
is discussed here because it affects maintenance practices for the heat
exchangers.
For Training Purposes Only
The heat exchangers are located in the aft section of the air conditioning
pack. The primary heat exchanger is mounted between the secondary heat
exchanger and the plenum. The secondary heat exchanger is mounted
between the aircraft ram air inlet duct and the primary heat exchanger.
The fan air plenum is located on the right síde of the air conditioning pack
immediately aft of the air cycle machine.
For Training Purposes Only
The primary water extractor removes moisture from air discharged after the
first pass through the condenser. This water is ducted to a spray nozzle in
the ram air inlet duct.
The reheater ensures that dry air enters The turbine inlet and reduces the need
for heat to be added to the turbine discharge before entering the condenser.
It also helps to maintain high turbine inlet temperatures to increase turbine
power.
The condenser uses turbine discharge air to cool air from the reheater to a
temperature low enough to condense moisture.
Location
The secondary water extractor is located in the duct between the secondary
heat exchanger and the heater.
The primary water extractor is centrally located, forward of the air conditioning
pack. It connects the cold air outlet of the condenser to the cold side of the
reheater.
For Training Purposes Only
The reheater is located in the air conditioning pack just left of the condenser.
Warm air from the temperature control valve or low limit control valve is
mixed with the turbine outlet air at the turbine outlet. In addition to
providing temperature control for the pack, this also prevents ice build--up
in the turbine outlet ducting. Also to prevent ice build--up hot air from the
compressor outlet is ducted to a muff assembly at the turbine outlet.
This air is exhausted into the condenser outlet ducting upstream of the water
extractor.
Reheater
For Training Purposes Only
Cold air bypass is accomplished by directing the air through, a free passage
centrally located between the two condenser cores. Warm air for the core face
is supplied from an external source through tubes located on the cold air inlet
face of the core and then discharged Into the hot air outlet Plenum of the
condenser.
For Training Purposes Only
Air from the nozzle impinges on the blades, rotating the turbine wheel at high
speed (approximately 45,000 rpm during max cooling). The turbine wheel
drives the compressor impeller and cooling air fan impeller by means of the
common shaft.
For Training Purposes Only
The work of expansion and the energy--using process of turning the turbine
wheel causes a temperature reduction and provides cold turbine discharge air.
Location
The muffler is mounted forward of the air conditioning pack, between the pack
outlet and the pack outlet check valve.
Physical Description
The Mufflers are an integral part of the pack outlet ducting. The left pack
outlet muffler is 10 inches (25 Cm) in diameter and is 18 inches (46 Cm) long.
The muffler shell is aluminum alloy sheet.
The insulating material is Nomex felt wrapped around a 7 inch (18 CM )
perforated duct. The attaching upstream and downstream duct segments
are welded to the muffler assembly.
The right pack outlet Muffler is similar to the left except for the following:
1) has an outside diameter of 12 inches (30 Cm) and 2) the length
is 23 inches (58 cm).
For Training Purposes Only
Control of the ram air door actuators is provided by the automatic pack
temperature controller or backup temperature control card.
The system interfaces with EICAS for position indication of the ram air inlet
doors on the ECS/MSG page. Position of the exit doors on the ECS/MSG
page is an option.
For Training Purposes Only
Physical Description
The ram air inlet door consists of two cast aluminum sections attached to each
other by a hinge.
The two sections are attached to the airplane in the following manner:
The forward door section is attached, alonq its forward edge, to airplane
structure by a hinge. The hinge is riveted to the forward door section and
secured to structure using screws and Nut plates. The aft edge of the forward
door section is attached to the aft door section by a hinge. This hinge is riveted
to the aft door section and attached to the forward door section by screws and
nut plates. The aft portion of the aft door section has slider blocks mounted on
its inboard and outboard sides. The slider blocks ride in airplane mounted
tracks. The aft door section also has two attachment points for control linkage.
The inlet doors are positioned by an electrical actuators The forward and aft
For Training Purposes Only
Location
The ram air exhaust door is located on the underside of the fuselage to the
right aft side of the air conditioning compartment.
Location
One actuator is located near each inlet and exit door. The inlet door actuator
is mounted outside the inlet duct and to the right of the inlet doors. The
exhaust door actuator is mounted outside the left side of the ram air exhaust
duct, directly above the exhaust door. Access to these actuators is through
the large ECS access doors.
Physical Description/Features
The actuator consists of an aluminum housing and a 115 volts ac, 400 Hz,
single--phase electric motor, which drives a jackscrew through two stages
of spur gear reduction. Two position switches, one at each end of the
actuator stroke, are used to turn off drive signals at the end of the
actuator travel and to sequence the operation of the ram air doors and
temperature control valve. The switches are positioned by adjustment
screws on the end of the actuator housing. The actuator contains
non--jamming mechanical stops.
A dual potentiometer stack is installed on the actuator with one output
providing a feedback signal to the pack temperature controller and the other
providing a signal to the left or right EICAS computers for display of ram air
inlet door position on the ECS/MSG page. As an option exit door position
may be displayed.
For Training Purposes Only
The actuator potentiometers are driven by one stage of a worm and helical
gear reduction directly from the jackscrew.
The limit switches are actuated by a cam driven by the jackscrew.
If the ram air doors will not operate in the auto mode, they may possibly be
opened by selecting the STBY--N mode of operation. If the inlet and exit doors
open, remove and stow the electrical connectors to the actuators before
returning to the auto mode. If the ram air doors do not reposition, the
actuator may be removed and a fabricated actuator link (a link with rod ends
compatible with those installed on the actuator) may be installed to hold the
affected doors in the full open position.
To dispatch with the air conditioning pack inop and the ram air system inop,
the inlet throat gap must be compared to the exit throat gap. The exit throat
gap (DE) must be at least 1.15 times the inlet throat gap (DI).
This procedure allows the rain air system to be failed in any position as long as
it satisfied the throat gap check.

Recirculation Fan
The recirculation fan is a single--stage, vane--axial fan powered by a 3--phase,
400 Hz, 115/200 volt ac electric motor.
It consists of a Stator assembly mounted within a Cylindrical housing which
also encloses an impeller and a rotor.
The swirl vanes are downstream of the impeller and function to convert swirl
energy from the impeller into a static pressure rise.
The swirl vanes also support the fan motor and provide extended surfaces for
motor cooling.
Downstream of the the swirl vanes is a tail cone used to properly diffuse the
airflow.
Each phase of the motor has a small thermal switch embedded in its windings
which open the circuit in the event of excessive temperature in the windings.
The fans are located in mix bay area which is between the aft end wall and the
aft pressure bulkhead of the fwd cargo compartment. One fan is located on
each side of the mix manifold below the filter assemblies.
Recirculation Air Filter
Two filter assemblies, with aluminum frames, are located in each filter box.
A pre--filter removes large particles and a high efficiency filter removes small
particles from the recycled air. A charcoal absorption/past filter assembly
removes odors from the air.
Cabin air is drawn through the filters by the recirculation fan(s).

Whenever the airplane is parked, the ground air service connector allows input
of conditioned air directly into the airplane,s conditioned air distribution system.
Mix Manifold
The mix manifold is immediately forward of the forward cargo compartment aft
pressure bulkhead.
It has a fiberglass mid section with fiberglass honeycomb end sections.
Air enters the mix manifold tangentially from one or both inlet ducts.
This directed airflow entrance creates a centrifugal flow within the manifold.
The swirl devices installed interrupt this flow creating turbulence. The turbu-
lence causes water to separate from the air and collect on the manifold’s inner
wall.
The air continues to spiral up the manifold approaching the water ring.
The ring creates additional turbulence, removing any remaining water carried
by the airflow.
The air passes through the water ring and enters the flow straightener.
The straightener breaks up the swirling motion of the air and allows an even
pressure and volume distribution to each outlet duct.
The water removed at the swirl devices and the water ring runs down the
manifold’s inside wall.
For Training Purposes Only
The water collects at the bottom and is drawn off through the water drain tube
and leaves the airplane through a drain port.

The electrical/electronic (E/E) equipment cooling system provides a supply of
cooling air and/or evacuates the hot exhaust air from the electrical and elec-
tronic equipment.
System Description
The equipment cooling system is divided into a forward and an aft system.
The forward system has blow through (forced air) and draw through (suction)
cooling.
The aft system has draw through cooling only.
Both systems are controlled automatically. MODE SELECTION for the desired
mode of operation is the only input that is required by the operator.

FWD EQUIPMENT COOLING SYSTEM
Purpose
The forward equipment cooling system provides cooling air to the electrical/
electronic equipment (E/E) on the flight deck, forward, main, and mid
equipment centers.
System Description
The E/E cooling system operates automatically with mode selection being the
only input required from the operator.
Mode selection is made at the equipment cooling control panel on the pilots’ P5
overhead panel.
The cooling configuration is determined by system inputs.
These inputs provide for fan operation and valve position.
Valve position determines the path of the airflow.
Air for system cooling is provided either through an intake (inboard supply
valve) behind the cargo compartment sidewall (inboard loop configuration), or
by closing the intake and circulating the air already inside the E/E cooling sys-
tem ducting (closed loop configuration).
The air can be cooled by ducting it through the skin heat exchangers.
The air is circulated through the system by a supply fan and/or an exhaust fan.
A smoke detector, two low flow detectors, and one overheat switch monitor the
air as it is being circulated.

Flight Modes (Air/Ground Relays -- Flight)
Anytime the AIR/GROUND relays are in the flight position, only one of the E/E
fans will be commanded on in AUTO or STBY modes.
On the ground ( in warmer air ), the skin heat exchangers will not be as
effective as they are in flight ( in much colder air ), so both fans are
commanded on to increase the volume of flow across the equipment.
AUTO: In flight, the AUTO mode provides for a closed loop configuration, and
an ON command to the E/E exhaust fan.
If the exhaust fan fails, an auto--transfer will enable the E/E supply fan.
STBY: In flight, the STBY mode provides for a closed loop configuration, and
an ON command to the E/E supply fan.
If the supply fan fails, an auto--transfer will enable the E/E exhaust fan.
OVRD: The OVRD configuration is used primarily for smoke clearance and
CAN ONLY BE USED IN FLIGHT.
This mode depends on differential pressure between the cabin and ambient to
provide airflow across the equipment.
Selection of the OVRD mode on the ground will configure the system as
commanded, but there will be no cooling airflow across the equipment.
The OVRD configuration will command off both E/E fans, and close all valves
in the system except for the manifold interconnect and smoke clearance
valves.
Opening the manifold interconnect valve will supply air conditioning system air
directly into the fwd and flight deck E/E ducting.
The smoke clearance valve will open, providing an overboard vent.
The low ambient pressure will generate a reverse flow through the equipment
in the main E/E center, also drawing the air from the flight deck and the forward
equipment area, then exhausting it overboard.
This will help prevent contamination of the flight deck or passenger
compartments by smoke from an equipment fire/overheat.

INBOARD VALVES
Physical Description/Features
The forward equipment cooling system uses a nine--inch diameter electric
driven shutoff valve as an inboard supply valve, and a heat exchanger shutoff
valve.
The valves are identical.
The valve consists of an actuator mounted on a valve body.
The actuator consists of an electrical connector, filter, two limit switches, motor,
visual position indicator, and a manual override.
Operation
With 115 volt ac, 400 Hz, single--phase power applied to the open side of the
valve, the motor drives the reduction gear which drives the primary worm gear
shaft.
The secondary worm gear shaft drives the sector gear and the output shaft.
The output shaft rotates the disk plate until the cam actuates the full open limit
switch.
This removes power from the actuator.
The sup clutch allows manual positioning of the disk without back--driving the
actuator.
The visual position indicator consists of a pointer attached to the end of the
output shaft.
The manual override consists of a knob pinned to the secondary worm gear
shaft.
Rotating the manual override knob clockwise opens the valve.
Rotating the manual override knob counterclockwise closes the valve.

GROUND VALVE
Physical Description/Features
The equipment cooling system uses a 115--volt ac, motor--actuated flapper
valve as an overboard exhaust valve.
A manual override socket allows manual flapper positioning.
When open, the flapper retracts inside the airplane skin.
The flapper closes flush with the airplane skin.
Operation
The actuator, attached to a clutch, opens or closes the valve.
The clutch also allows manual valve positioning. Inserting a 3/8--inch drive
wrench in the manual override socket and applying about 3/8 of an inch torque
tube compression, engages the drive train.
The flapper valve moves to the opposite position by rotating the drive wrench
about 300 degrees.
Adjustable stops prevent flapper overtravel.
Limit switches provide travel limit control and position indication.
An over--center linkage system on the flapper and internal pressure provides
positive mechanical locking in the closed position.
The actuator first unlocks the over--center linkage when opening the valve.
The actuator applies its output to the short, upper link on the flapper.
The actuator rotates about 100 degrees, turning the upper link and pulling the
lower link up.
The flapper then opens to about 40 degrees.
When the actuator linkage closes the flapper, the flapper bottoms on the valve
body and the linkage assumes the over--center position.

airplane.
It allows the heated E/E cooling air to exhaust overboard.
The valve is open only when the mode selector switch is in AUTO, the airplane
is on the ground, both engines are not running and skin sensed temperature is
greater than 45 degrees F.
Indication
When the airplane is on the ground any valve disagreement will be sensed by
the equipment cooling indicating card (M867) which will illuminate the amber

E/E COOLING MONITOR SYSTEM
General Component Locations
The instrument cooling monitor panel is on the right side panel (P61) in the
flight compartment.
The nine (9) sensing tubes are located throughout the forward section of the
airplane.
The majority of the tubes are below the floor of flight compartment and the
passenger compartment except where the tubes connect to captain’s
instruments and to the monitor panel.
General Subsystem Features
The system consists of clear flexible tubes (TYGON) and aluminum alloy
tubes.
The tubes run from nipples that are installed on the equipment cooling supply
air plenums for the follow nine components: 1) the capt’s EADI, 2) the capt’s
EHSI, 3) the left VOR, 4) the left FMC display unit (DU), 5) the E1/E2 racks,
6) the left inertial reference unit (IRU), 7) the center IRU, 8) the right IRU and
9) the E5 rack.
General Operation
The pressure of the cooling air that is provided to the above nine components
is also provided, by way of the sensing tubes, to the instrument cooling monitor
panel.
There will be no flow of cooling air through the tubes and panel until the LIFT
TO TEST lever is raised and held up.
This action opens all the tubes and if sufficient cooling air pressure is available
the indicator (flow) ball(s) will move up into view.
Releasing the lever stops the air flow and the ball(s) will drop from view.
Note that a light tap with the hand may be used to release flow balls suspended

EQUIPMENT COOLING SMOKE DETECTION
Operation/Control Sequence Fwd Chiller interface
Smoke in the equipment cooling system is sensed by a smoke detector
installed between the supply air line and the exhaust air line.
Pressure differential causes a continual flow of air through the detector for
sampling.
When smoke is sensed, the smoke detector provides a ground for the SMOKE
light on the equipment cooling control panel and a signal to the EICAS
computers. (FWD EQUIP SMOKE.)
Light, reflected from smoke particles passing through the smoke detector,
causes a decrease in resistance of the photo--diode.
This signal is amplified sufficiently to close an electronic switch which energizes
a relay to provide a ground at the smoke detector output.
This ground is connected directly to the SMOKE light on the equipment cooling
control panel and to both EICAS computers.
The ground is also connected to the forward CHILLER LATCH RELAY (K774) if
the airplane is configured with the optional forward galley chiller.
The smoke detector can be tested from a switch on the P61 miscellaneous test
panel.
This switch opens an electronic switch which forces the test LED to illuminate
and shine on the photo--diode. This provides the same response as reflected
light from smoke.

OVERRIDE/SMOKE CLEARANCE
Operation/Control Sequence
When smoke has been detected the mode selector switch is placed in OVRD.
This shuts off the supply and exhaust fan and opens the smoke clearance
valve and the manifold interconnect valve to clear the system of smoke.
When OVRD is selected, three primary relays, smoke clearance (K1011), equip
cool smoke CLR relay (K369), and equip cool diff. press. relay (K697), will
energize.
The smoke clearance relay (K1011) will enable the equipment cooling
indicating card (M867) to confirm the proper positions of the manifold
interconnect valve, the smoke clearance valve and the heat exchanger shutoff
valve.
The equip cool smoke CLR relay (K369) provides power to reposition the
manifold interconnect valve and open the smoke clearance valve.
The third relay, equip cool diff. press. (K697), removes control power from the
forward equip cool supply and exhaust fans.
Control power will be provided to the equip cool diff. press. T/D (K698) through
the energized equip cool diff. press. relay (K697).
After a fifty--five second delay, the diff press T/D relay (K698) energizes,
enabling the no cooling indication circuit. If the equip cool diff. press. switch
(S613) is not activated by cabin pressure being .05 psig greater than plenum
pressure, the NO COOLING light will illuminate and the EICAS caution

Flight Operation
For Training Purposes Only
The detector has inlet and oullet tubes protruding from The chamber to provide
access to air and smoke.
During normal operation, a beam of light from the LED shines into The light
trap. Photodiode current is minimal and comes mainly from light that reflects
from the chamber surface.
As smoke enters the detector, a portion of the beam of light reflects from The
smoke particles into the photodiode.
This causes the photodiode current to increase proportionally with the amount
of smoke entering the detector.
Precision amplifiers raise this photodiode current to a more easily detectable
voltage level.
When increasing voltage exceeds a preset level, an output relay energizesto
provide an alarm signal.
A test of the smoke detector verifies that the LED light source is not burned
out. The test also makes sure that the smoke detector has a minimum
guaranteed sensitivity.
For Training Purposes Only
During class E cargo fire procedures the “ FWD EQPT SMOKE” advisory

When smoke has been detected in the forward equipment cooling system, the
mode selector switch is placed in OVRD.
This opens The smoke clearance valve to clear the system of smoke.
All other valves and fans configure to The OVRD mode.
Class E mode takes precedence over The mode selected. That is, when
there is a cargo fire, the Class E relay ( K2192 ) opens smoke clearance

Power UP
Selected controller goes into a standby mode while it tests the BITE functions
and verifies the integrity of the controller. After the testing is complete, the
controller operates in the ground mode.
Ground Mode
The outflow valve is wide open with a 15,000 feet cabin altitude demand and
an uprate of 2,000 feet per minute.
If the outflow valve is already full open when the ground mode is entered, the
controller then drives the valve toward closed until the valve full open limit

valve reaches full open, the open drive command is removed to prevent
actuator heating. This sequencing of the valve is accomplished to verify valve
actuator operation and allow the controller to determine valve position.
Takeoff Mode
When either thrust lever is at 10.5 degrees from idle, the controller enters
the takeoff mode. The cabin altitude demand is then set to 70 feet below the
takeoff field.
Rate limit is set at the selected rate limit. The outflow valve will drive toward

pressure change. The rate control is a rate loop that is a function of the error
between actual cabin pressure and the cabin pressure demand.
The controller uses this error and outputs a cabin pressure rate command.
This is accomplished by taking the difference between actual cabin pressure
(as measured by a sensor in the controller) and cabin pressure command
(computed from the autoschedule or other control modes) and scaling the
difference to obtain a two feet per minute rate for each foot of error.
This difference is an error signal (rate command) that is the basic for outflow
valve modulation. The rate command is limited to the rate limit selected on the
selector panel. For normal operation, this rate limit is set to 500 feet per minute
for climb and 300 feet per minute for descent.
The rate of cabin pressure change is limited in this manner except when
maximum cabin pressure differential is approached. When this occurs, the
controller will override the selected rate and increase the rate proportionally
up to the maximum rate of 2,000 feet per minute.

CRUISE AND LANDING FLIGHT PROFILES
Cruise -- AUTO Mode.
When the airplane altitude does not change by more than + 7 --250 feet for
1 minute, the controller initiates cruise logic. The auto schedule command is
clamped and does not change until the airplane has climbed 500 feet or
descended 1,000 feet.
Landing Altitude above Auto schedule but below Takeoff Altitude (Fig. 1) .
At cruise clamp, the controller sets the landing altitude as the cabin demand
since it is higher than the auto schedule. In case of high altitude takeoff, the
cabin altitude descends down to the landing altitude from the takeoff field limit
at the selected downrate limit.
Landing Altitude above both Takeoff and Autoschedule Altitudes (Fig. 2).
At cruise clamp, altitude is compared with the selected landing altitude.
Because the landing altitude is higher than the takeoff altitude or autoschedule,
it is set as the cabin demand and the cabin altitude climbs to the landing
altitude from the takeoff altitude at a dwell rate of 1/2 the selected rate limit.
Landing Altitude below Autoschedule with Takeoff Altitude above Autoschedule
(Fig. 3).
At cruise clamp, the controller sets the clamped autoschedule as the: cabin
demand when it initiates cruise logic. The cabin altitude then descends from
the high--altitude takeoff field to the autoschedule at the selected rate limit.
Landing Altitude and Takeoff Altitude Both Below Autoschedule (Fig. 4).
Prior to the initiation of cruise logic, the controller has set the cabin demand to
the autoschedule.
After initiating cruise logic, the cabin demand remains as the autoschedule
since the schedule is higher than the landing altitude.
Therefore, the cabin altitude will be clamped at autoschedule and no pressure
changes will be required when changing from climb to cruise logic.
For Training Purposes Only
If the airplane climbs again (500 feet altitude change) after cruise clamp is
initiated, the controller switches to climb mode and back to cruise clamp after
cruise mode is again entered. Cruise clamp is inhibited once a descent has

DESCENT, LANDING AND GROUND TEST
Descent -- AUTO Mode
After detecting a 1,000--foot aircraft descent, the controller unclamps the
autoschedule and cabin descends with the descent schedule of 8.6 differential
pressure or at the selected rate limit, whichever is less.
Once the cabin reaches the landing altitude minus 100 feet (note that the
selected landing altitude read by the controller is actually 100 feet below the
actual landing field altitude input at the pressurization selector panel it holds
and waits for the aircraft to catch up.
Landing and Ground Test AUTO Mode
On a signal from air / ground relay, the cabin depressurizes at a rate of 500
feet per minute by setting cabin demand 1000 feet above the (ADC) landing
altitude. The system remains in landing mode for 40 seconds to allow the valve
to reach full open position.
Control is switched to the monitor controller which then goes into ground test
mode and performs a self--test function on itself to determine if a critical fault
has been registered.
After the self--test, the controller sets at 500 feet below existing cabin pressure
and the outflow valve is drive toward closed for 12 seconds at 300 feet per
minute (60 feet). The cabin pressure rate is measure and checked to be

POSITIVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
General Description
Each valve incorporates two separate pressure differential control
metering sections. The primary metering sections of both valves utilize
a control remote ambient sense line and limit the pressure differential
to 8.95 +1-- 0.10 psi.
The second metering section, designed as a backup control, utilize
independent integral ambient sensing through each valve mounting
flange and limits the pressure differential to 9.42 +1-- 0.15 psi.
The valve is spring--loaded closed. When activated, the respective
metering section unseats its ball and allows the cabin pressure inside
the valve to vent to ambient, This allows cabin pressure around the
outside of the valve to overcome the force on the inside of the balance
diaphragm (which is now ambient) and lift up the poppet.
Cabin pressure acting against the inside of the flapper will easily overcome
the spring and ambient forces and open the flapper, dumping cabin pressure
overboard.
Each valve is capable of controlling the system with both packs operating in
high flow.
When the metering section reseats the ball, the valve closes.
An indicator flag is included in the valve to visually indicate the valve has
opened. The rim of the flapper is painted red. The flag will prevent the flapper
from completely closing and thus make the red rim of the flapper visible to
ground personnel.
The indication is reset by manually opening the flapper and pushing the flag in.

INDICATIONS AND WARNINGS SYSTEM
Purpose
The pressurization indicating and warning systems provide indication in the
flight compartment for cabin pressure differential, cabin altitude, cabin
altitude rate of change, and high cabin altitude warning (10,000 feet or
greater).
System Description
The pressurization indicating system consists of a differential pressure
sensor and a pressurization indication module. The sensor provides a
variable resistive signal to the module.
The module contains three electrically operated gauges.
The gauges are cabin to ambient differential (DIFF), cabin altitude (ALT),
and cabin altitude rate of change (RATE).
The warning system consists of a cabin altitude warning switch, two cabin
altitude warning lights, an EICAS level A message, two warning lights and
an aural warning.
The switch provides a signal to activate the warning indications in the flight
compartment when cabin altitude equals 10,000 feet or greater.
General Component Locations
The differential pressure sensor and the cabin altitude warning switch are in
the main equipment center.
The sensor is in the forward right section and the switch is in the aft right
section.
The rest of the components associated with the pressurization indicating and
warning systems are in the flight compartment.

CABIN ALTITUDE WARNING SYSTEM
Cabin Altitude Warning System
An aneroid switch sensing cabin altitude will activate and provide a warning if
the cabin pressure decreases to an equivalent altitude of 10,000 feet.
Altitude Switch
The switch is located in the main equipment center on the outboard side of the
E2 equipment rack.
Pressure Indication
Pressure instruments provide an indication of cabin to ambient pressure
(differential pressure gage), cabin altitude (cabin altitude gage) and cabin
rate of change of altitude (cabin rate gage).
Altitude Warning System
When cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet the altitude switch actuates,
the CABIN ALTITUDE warning lights on the P5 and P1--3 panels illuminate,
and EICAS will display a level A warning CABIN ALTITUDE.

INDICATION MODULE & DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
Location
The pressurization indication module is mounted on the P5 panel in the flight
compartment directly below the pressurization control panel.
The differential pressure sensor is installed directly outboard of the P29 panel
in the forward right section of the main equipment center.
Physical Description/Features
The indication module incorporates three electrically operated gauges, a cabin
pressure port, and two electrical connectors.
The cabin pressure port provides inputs to the cabin ALT and the cabin RATE
gauges.
A remotely mounted differential pressure sensor provides inputs to the cabin
DIFF gauge.
The sensor monitors cabin pressure and static (ambient) pressure.
The sensor is connected to the static pressure sensing system.
Access
Access to the sensor is by way of the main equipment center. Crawlling to the
right and forward, past the oxygen cylinder, the sensor can be found near the
fuselage skin and flight deck floor beams directly outboard of the P29.

CABIN ALTITUDE WARNING SWITCH
Purpose
The switch monitors cabin pressure and will activate the CABIN ALTITUDE
WARNING circuit in the flight compartment when cabin altitude is equal to or
greater than 10,000 feet.
Location
The switch is mounted on the aft side of the upper section of the right forward
support structure for the E2 rack.
Physical Description/Features
The contacts of the switch are normally open at low cabin altitudes (greater
than 4.6 psig) and closed at high cabin altitude (less than 4.6 psig).
