The air conditioning and pressurization systems keep the pressure, temperature, and
freshness of the air in the pressurized compartments at the desired levels. Bleed air is cooled,
conditioned, and distributed to individual compartments (flight compartment and cargo
compartment) before being discharged overboard via outflow valves (pressure regulating valves)
and fixed vent holes.
A part of unconditioned hot air is tapped upstream of the twa packs, just downstream of
the pack valve and directly fed to a hot air manifold, through a single hot air supply valve.
Refrigeration unit- consisting of a compressor a turbine and a fan mounted on a common shaft
and an air to air heat exchanger located between the compressor and turbine.
Turbine bypass valve- which admits more or less flow through the turbine.
Water separator- collecting small droplets of water after separation from the air by inertia in
coalesce this water is then sprayed through an injector at the inlet of the air to air heat exchanger
cooling side.
Cooling airflow system- to modulate the precooled flow of the conditioning air in the heat
exchanger
Emergency ram air inlet- located forward of the air conditioning pack 1cooling air inlet provides
for ventilation of the pressurized fuselage with ram air. The opening of the ram air inlet is only
authorized in flight when the cabin differential pressure is lower than 1 PSI.
