Study Notes

Introduction

  • Aircraft fly at high altitudes primarily for economic reasons, as humans cannot survive in those environments.
  • Altitudes of 40,000 feet have temperatures around −56°C.
  • Air pressure at high altitudes is low, and there's insufficient oxygen.
  • Aircraft crews and passengers must be protected from freezing and the risk of death at such altitudes.

Air Conditioning System

  • The system ensures proper cabin pressure for life support.
  • The system maintains a comfortable cabin temperature.
  • On the ground, air conditioning is vital to prevent overheating of equipment and discomfort for passengers.

Air Conditioning Functions

  • The air conditioning system maintains fresh, clean air.
  • It maintains a comfortable temperature.
  • It maintains the correct humidity level.
  • It supplies correct cabin pressure.

Pressurization and Zones

  • Some aircraft parts (e.g., passenger compartment, cockpit) are pressurized, while others (e.g., landing gear bays, tail cone) are not.
  • Pressurization is regulated to accommodate the change in altitude.
  • Pressurization differs according to zone (e.g., cockpit, passenger compartment, cargo) because each zone has different operational needs and temperatures.
  • The B747-400 has 7 zones.
  • The A320 has 3 zones.

System Layout

  • Air conditioning systems obtain air from the pneumatic system.
  • Air conditioning systems start operation at pack valves.
  • Systems mix cooled air with hot air, to reach the desired temperatures.
  • Pressurization levels are regulated by outflow valves.
  • Air is cooled by multiple identical packs.
  • The system is regulated by outflow valves to regulate the pressure.

Temperature

  • The cockpit temperature is usually lower than other cabin areas.
  • Air temperature in the passenger compartment and other areas is regulated according to need.
  • Electrical and electronic devices create heat.
  • Air temperature demands for some zones (e.g. upper deck, main deck) have specific requirements, for example: upper deck: 24°C; and main deck: 20°C
