Questions and Answers

In normal flight in closed circuit configuration, how does the avionics ventilation system control the temperature of the cooling air?

  • Passing air through a skin heat exchanger (correct)
  • Extracting air overboard
  • Adding airconditioned air to the flow
  • Adding avionics bay air
  • When the hot air pressure regulating valve fails open, what happens to the regulation?

  • No effect
  • Cabin temperature will be controlled at the upper limit 30 deg C
  • The temperature stays at the value selected
  • Optimized regulation is lost (correct)
  • What happens if the pack controller experiences a primary and secondary channel failure?

  • The pack is closed
  • There is no effect (all modes still available)
  • Pack outlet temperature is controlled to between 5 and 30 deg C by the anti-ice valve
  • The packs deliver a fixed temperature of 20 deg C (correct)
  • What is the purpose of the trim air valve?

    Study Notes

    Avionics Ventilation System

    • In normal flight in closed circuit configuration, the avionics ventilation system controls the temperature of the cooling air by regulating the air pressure.

    Hot Air Pressure Regulating Valve

    • If the hot air pressure regulating valve fails open, the regulation is lost, and the temperature control is compromised.

    Pack Controller Failure

    • If the pack controller experiences a primary and secondary channel failure, the system defaults to a predetermined temperature setting.

    Trim Air Valve

    • The trim air valve provides supplemental air to the air conditioning system to adjust the pressure and temperature.

    Engine Flow Demand

    • If engine flow demand in one zone cannot be satisfied, the minimum idle is increased to compensate for the shortage.

    Air Distribution

    • Conditioned air is distributed to the cockpit, cabin, and avionics systems in the aircraft.

    Hot Air Fault Light

    • When the hot air fault light illuminates on the air conditioning panel, it indicates a malfunction in the system.

    Trim Air Type

    • The trim air provides cool, dried, and filtered air to the air conditioning system.

    Zone Controller Failure

    • In case of zone controller primary and secondary channel failure, pack one maintains a temperature of around 10°C (50°F), and pack two maintains a temperature of around 12°C (54°F).

    Air Distribution Exceptions

    • Conditioned air is not distributed to the lavatories, flight deck, and cargo compartments in the aircraft.
