    Study Notes

    Bleed Air Distribution & Supply

    • The crossbleed valve connects or disconnects the left and right pneumatic manifolds.
    • High Pressure (HP) ground connectors can supply air to the left pneumatic manifold and through the crossbleed valve to the right pneumatic manifold when connected to a ground cart.
    • The APU bleed valve opens when the APU runs at more than 95% of speed, no APU shutdown is carried out, and the altitude is lower than 23000 feet during climb or 21000 feet during descent.
    • The Pressure Regulating Valves (PRVs) of the two engines automatically close when the APU bleed valve is open.

    APU Bleed Air Supply

    • The APU bleed valve control is part of the bleed air supply system.

    Crossbleed System

    • The crossbleed valve primary motor power supply is cut out if a manual control is selected.

    Engine Bleed Air Management System

    • The bleed air transfer system transfers air from one bleed port to another using a HP pressure regulator.

    Bleed Air Transfer

    • The transfer from one bleed port to another is carried out using a HP Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV).
    • The HP Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) is commanded closed by the Bleed Management Computer (BMC) via a relay.
    • The HPV also closes when the HP pressure is higher than 85 psi, the Wing Anti Ice (WAI) is not selected, and the altitude is higher than 26000 feet, or when the compressor exit temperature is higher than 430 degrees Celsius and the HP pressure higher than 75 psi.
    • If the IP/HP transfer fails, the HPV pneumatically closes when the upstream pressure higher than 185 psi.
    • If the HPV is controlled open and is detected in the closed position, the BMC triggers an ECAM message and the BLEED page comes up automatically.

    Engine Bleed Air Pressure Regulation System

    • The bleed transferred pressure transducer is used for system monitoring and fault isolation regarding the PRV and HPV.

    Leak Detection System

    • The leak detection system is divided into two sub-systems, left and right, separated at the crossbleed valve level.
    • Dual loop detection systems are installed in the wings, packs and crossbleed valve area and the APU bleed duct area.
    • A single loop detection system is installed in the pylons.

    APU Bleed Supply

    • The APU provides air to the left and right pneumatic manifolds on the ground.
    • It also provides air during climb up to 23,000 feet (7,010 meters) and during descent from 21,000 feet (6,400 meters).

    Bleed Air Distribution

    • The engine bleed air systems are connected to their respective pneumatic manifolds.
    • Ground air is supplied through two high-pressure ground connectors located on the belly fairing.

    Bleed Air Transfer

    • Bleed air can be transferred between ports using a high-pressure transfer system.
    • This transfer system is controlled by an associated solenoid.
    • In case of a transfer event, a fault message is sent to the Central Maintenance System (CMS).

    Bleed Air Pressure Regulation

    • Bleed air pressure is regulated by a pressure regulating valve (PRV).
    • The PRV is monitored by a transducer that sends information to both Bleed Monitoring Computers (BMCs).

    Bleed Air Leak Detection

    • A leak detection system monitors the APU bleed air system for leaks.
    • When a leak is detected, the APU BLEED P/BSW fault legend illuminates.

    Bleed Air Sensing Elements

    • Temperature sensing elements within the system consist of a center conductor, an aluminum oxide insulator, and an outer tube.
    • The space between the outer tube and center conductor is filled with eutectic salt.
    • If the temperature exceeds a preset value, the resistance of the eutectic salt decreases, establishing continuity between the tube and conductor.
    • This change in resistance is used to detect leaks.
