38-00 Water and Waste system general


General

The water and waste system installed in the aircraft supplies the spigots and
coffee makers in the galleys, lavatory sinks and toilets with water from a po-
table (drinkable) water tank.

The used water (so-called gray water) can be drained overboard. The waste
from the toilets will be collected in a waste tank and emptied on ground by a
service truck. The water system is pressurized by air.

Potable water system

The potable water system supplies pressurized potable water for food serv-
ice in the galleys and for washing in the lavatories. The potable water system
is pressurized by bleed air and an optional air compressor. The potable wa-
ter is stored in a central holding tank, whose useable capacity is 110 litres.

The water lines are installed inside the pressurized, temperature-controlled


environment of the fuselage. A filtration system is provided in the galleys to
improve water taste and quality.

The gray water system enables draining of the serviced water from galleys
and lavatory wash basins. Draining is performed by drain masts located in
the forward and aft sections of the fuselage.

A Water and Waste System Controller (WWSC) operates and monitors the
system components and evaluates failure status. The controller is designed
to include all the necessary software and hardware components to support
all possible standard and optional configurations.

The vacuum waste system

The vacuum waste system provides waste collection and storage from the
toilet assemblies located in the lavatories. It uses either a vacuum generator
at low altitudes or differential pressure between the cabin and ambient at
high altitudes to transport the waste from the toilets to an aft mounted waste
holding tank, whose usable capacity is 95 litres (25 gallons).

The titanium waste lines are installed inside the pressurized, temperature-
controlled environment of the fuselage and are routed from the toilets to the
waste holding tank. During a toilet flush cycle, the vacuum waste system
uses a small amount of pressurized water from the potable water system to
rinse the toilet bowl and aid in the evacuation of waste.

During ground servicing, the waste tank is drained through a drain valve,
drain line and service panel into a service truck. A rinse line routed from the
service panel to a rotating rinse nozzle within the waste tank is used to sup-
ply rinsing fluid to the tank.

38-10 WWS potable water


General
The potable water system supplies pressurized water to the water spigots
and coffee makers in the galleys and to the water heaters and faucets of the
lavatories. Water is also supplied to the lavatories for flushing of the vacuum
toilets.
The potable water is stored in a potable water tank located in the aft centre
fuselage III section of the aircraft under the floor behind the rear bulkhead of
the aft cargo compartment. Bleed air pressure is used as the primary pres-
sure source of the system. The bleed pressurization line is routed from the
main A/C bleed air duct up to the water tank inlet distribution air manifold.
The tap off point is placed in such a way as to provide bleed air either from
the engines or from APU. The bleed air is filtered and regulated to the sys-
tem operating pressure of 30 to 40 psig.

As an optional feature, an air compressor is used to pressurize the water


system, in case the aircraft is on the ground with the engines or APU not run-
ning, or if the bleed air pressure is below the optimal range during flight.

Water and Waste System Controller (WWCS)

A Water and Waste System Controller (WWSC) is mounted in the rear elec-
tronics bay behind the left lavatory, above the vacuum waste tank. The
WWSC monitors and controls the components of the water and waste sys-
tems, interacts with Flight Attendants Panels (FAP) and the cockpit drain
panel, and communicates with the Centralized Maintenance Computer
(CMC). Communication with CMC is through MAU3 via the ARINC 429 bus.
WWSC also receives flight and altitude information from the aircraft through
the MAU3 via the ARINC 429 bus.

The water level sensor

The water level sensor measures the volumetric quantity of water stored in
the water tank. The level sensor is integrated into the top flange housing of
the tank. The sensor is a cylindrical tube capacitive type. The unit acts as an
electronic sensing probe, and provides continuous measurement of the wa-
ter level.

Input voltage is 28 VDC, provided by the WWSC. The output signal increas-
es if water level increases and vice versa. The signal processing electronics
are integrated into the sensor assembly. The output signals are transmitted
to the WWSC and then to the FAP. The aft FAP provides water quantity in-
dication and system FAULT indication to the cabin attendants. Water quan-
tity is provided at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% tank volume levels.

38-30 Waste disposal


Introduction

Wastes from the lavatories is carried by a vacuum system to a remote waste


holding tank, and is later drained into a servicing cart. At low altitudes a vac-
uum generator, and at high altitudes, differential pressure between the cabin
and ambient is used to transport the waste from the toilets through the flush
valve to the aft mounted waste holding tank.

Titanium waste lines carry the waste to the holding tank. They are installed
inside the pressurized and temperature-controlled area of the fuselage. The
vacuum waste system makes use of pressurized water from the potable wa-
ter system to rinse the toilet bowl and aid in the evacuation of waste.

The waste tank can be drained through a drain valve, drain line and service
panel into a service truck. After the tank has been drained it will be cleaned
with water supplied through the service panel to a rotating rinse nozzle in the
waste tank.

The system is operated and monitored from the WWSC. One to three toilets
can be installed in the aircraft aft left, aft right, forward left and forward right.

The vacuum waste system

Conditions for normal use of the vacuum waste system are: Electrical power
is available; waste tank is not full; service panel door is closed and pressu-
rized water is available at the toilet rinse valve.

When the toilet flush switch inside the lavatory is momentarily pushed, the
toilet Flush Control Unit (FCU) mounted on the toilet times and sequences
the operation of the vacuum toilet. If altitude is below 18,000 feet, the vacu-
um generator is actuated through the Water and Waste System Controller
(WWSC) to evacuate the waste holding tank.

At higher altitudes the differential pressure between the cabin and ambient
is sufficient to transport the waste. Prior to opening the toilet flush valve, wa-
ter is introduced into the toilet bowl through the rinse valve to rinse the bowl
and aid in waste evacuation. When the rinse valve closes, the toilet flush
valve is opened and the waste is evacuated to the holding tank. Ten sec-
onds after the flush switch actuation at low altitudes, the vacuum generator
is disabled and the toilet is again ready for flushing.

Note: If the waste tank is full, the WWSC disables the toilets to prevent fur-
ther flushing and over-filling of the waste tank.

Quantity and fault Indications

The aft aircraft Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) provides waste quantity indica-
tion and system FAULT indication. The WWSC monitors the waste tank lev-
el sensors and sends an output signal to the FAP to indicate the correct
quantity. At 75% the SERVICE TANK light illuminates, and at 100% the
TANK FULL light illuminates. FWD or AFT LAV FAULT indications are pro-
vided on the FAP by the WWSC when a signal from the respective toilet due
to a motor fault or switch fault, or if the FCU blower signal to the vacuum gen-
erator stays on for more then 5 minutes. The waste FAULT light will come
on if the vacuum generator is in an overheat condition, the 75% and 100%
level sensors have failed or if the WWSC is faulty. If both level sensors have
failed, the system will be deactivated and considered FULL. Further fault in-
formation can always be found on the CMC.

The flush control unit (FCU)

The toilet Flush Control Unit (FCU) mounted on the toilet, times and se-
quences the operation of the vacuum toilet in the following order after the toi-
let flush switch has been pressed:

If altitude is below 18,000 feet, the vacuum generator is actuated through the
WWSC and the motor starting relay to evacuate the waste holding tank.

• Approximately 210 ml of water is introduced into the toilet bowl through


the rinse valve to rinse the bowl and aid in waste evacuation.

• As the rinse valve closes, the toilet flush valve is opened for four seconds
and the waste is evacuated to the holding tank.

• Ten seconds after the flush switch is pressed, the vacuum generator is
disabled and the toilet is again ready for flushing.

At altitudes above 18,000 feet the differential pressure between the cabin
and ambient is sufficient to transport the waste and the vacuum generator
will not be powered. The airflow bypasses the vacuum generator through a
check valve to the overboard vent on the right hand side of the aircraft.

If the waste tank is full, the 100% level sensor in the waste tank notifies the
WWSC which then disables the toilets to prevent further flushing and over-
filling of the waste tank.

38-40 Air supply


Introduction

The potable water system is pressurized by engine or APU bleed air and an
optional compressor. The bleed air is tapped off from the cross bleed duct in
centre fuselage II. The air is routed aft through the fuselage and connects to
the air manifold in centre fuselage III. Bleed air is introduced via an air man-
ifold into the water tank to provide regulated pressurized potable water. The
air manifold includes a shuttle valve, regulator, air filter, check valve and
pressure relief valve. The air manifold regulates the incoming air pressure to
the working pressure level, cleans the air, prevents water from entering the
air system and prevents over pressure in the water system.

The optional air compressor is provided to improve the pressure stability of


the system when bleed air pressure is insufficient. Air compressor cycling is
controlled by the WWSC based on the signal from a pressure switch that is
mounted to the water tank. The compressor is switched on if the bleed air
pressure is too low. The compressor supply line is connected to the second
port of the shuttle valve.

Operation of the mask
The flight crew oxygen system is always ready to be used, and therefore an
oxygen pressure indication is provided on the status page to show the oxy-
gen cylinder pressure.

Each crew member must verify the operation of his mask, during the pre-
flight check or during flight crew change.

During normal operation the masks are stowed and the regulator is set in
100% position. This setting will provide 100% oxygen to the user upon inha-
lation regardless of cabin altitude.

If the regulator is set to NORM position it provides automatic oxygen dilution.


At lower cabin altitudes air is allowed to enter the regulator and mix with the
added oxygen. As the cabin altitude increasing the percentage of ambient
air entering the regulator is reduced until at a preset point 100% is inhaled
by the user.

The EMERG control setting, provides also 100% oxygen regardless of cabin
altitude. In addition, oxygen is supplied at a slight positive pressure. The
positive pressure purges smoke and toxic fumes from the face seal and
maintains protection.

35-20 Passenger oxygen system


Introduction

The passenger oxygen sub-system is composed of oxygen dispensing units


provided along the passenger cabin in the PSUs, in both lavatories, at each
flight attendant station and in the forward galley area.

The chemical oxygen dispensing units, supply the occupants with supple-
mental oxygen during an emergency descent in the event of cabin de-com-
pression for 12 minutes.

The Secondary Power Distribution Assembly 1 provides control of the sys-


tem if the passenger oxygen panel switch is set to the automatic mode. The
SPDA receives inputs from an altimetric switch and the cockpit control
switch and provides output to the dispensing unit latches and the cockpit in-
dicator light.

The oxygen dispensing units

The oxygen dispensing units are attached to the PSU assembly. There is
one PSU assembly and dispensing unit provided for each seat position. The
unit consists of two or three oxygen mask, determined by the location of the
unit.

The components are housed in an aluminium container and two hinged door
retains the masks and cover the entire cabin side of the dispensing unit. It
also includes one 12 minute chemical generator, covered thermal insulation
blanket to protect against heat during the chemical reaction and by heat-
shield for passenger safety on the cabin side of the generator.

The oxygen container also contains an electric door latch and a mechanical
test latch for testing mask deployment on the aircraft. The oxygen dispens-
ing units doors will deploy automatically during normal operation or can be
opened directly from the cabin using the manual release feature.

The oxygen dispensing unit contains a mechanical test latch to allow period-
ic checks of the door opening, without deployment of the masks. The test
latch holds the doors open approximately 5 degrees from the normal closed
position. The catch is coloured red on its edges to ensure that it is not acci-
dentally left in the ON position during normal operation

The passenger oxygen flight deck interface

The passenger oxygen system flight deck interface provided by the passen-
ger oxygen control panel. The selector switch controls system automatic or
manual operation and an annunciator indicates when the masks are de-
ployed.

The selector switch has three positions, closed, auto and deploy. To avoid
human error, when "closed" to "Auto" or from "auto" to "deploy" is selected,
the switch shall be pulled out and then turned to the respective position as it
is indicated on then control panel.

In "CLOSED" mode, the passenger oxygen system is turned off and does
not function automatically or manually.

In "AUTO" mode, the system is controlled by the SPDA 1, which senses the
cabin altitude from the altimetric switch.

In the "DEPLOY" mode, the system is activated by a flight crew member.


The white annunciator light on the control panel provides indication of the
energization of the passenger oxygen system.

In addition, the "NO SMOKING", "FASTEN SEAT BELT" indicators on the


PSU will be illuminated automatically.

Air Management System (AMS)

The AMS controller cards provide primary electronic control for :

• Pneumatic Bleed System

• Air Conditioning System

• Overheat Detection

• Crew Oxygen monitoring

• Slat Ice Protection

Air Management System (AMS) Controller

The Air Management System Controller is a dual channel digital electronic


controller located inside the MID Secondary Power Distribution Assembly
(SPDA).

Each channel contains its own :

• processor,
• power conditioning circuits,
• Input and output cards, and,
• ARINC 429 interfaces

The AMS controller receives commands from the ECS control panel and
from the system sensors. It communicates with the MAUs and the SPDA via
the ARINC 429 bus to drive the torque motors which controls opening and
closing of the system valves.
The SPDA 2 provides the AMS controller cards with the sources of power
which are necessary for electronic control of AMS components.
The SPDA 2 incorporates a latching cover assembly which ensures effective
ventilation flow across the installed electronic cards.
The AMS controller cards are ESDS sensitive components.
A wrist strap must be worn when handling the controller cards. The SPDA 2
has a grounding receptacle on the front case for wrist strap connection.

SPDA and AMS controller is via ARINC 429. system include Air Management, Electrical Power, Fuel, Hydraulics, Anti -
Ice, Lightning, Oxygen, Engine Ignition & Starting, APU, Fire Ext. and water.
Scheduled maintenance of the SPDAs is not required.
The SPDA provides MAU data from the Avionics Standard Communication
Bus to the AMS controller via the ARINC 429 BUS.

AMS controller channel 1 connects to the MID SPDA 2 and channel 2 of the
AMS controller connects to the forward SPDA 1. This provides a redundant
connection between the AMS controller and the MAU.

AMS controller channels 1 and 2 communicate with each other by means of


the RS422 digital data bus.

AMS electronic components are powered by the SPDA, one of the Integrat-
ed Control Circuits (ICC‘s), or directly from aircraft power. The SPDA is
equipped with smart electronics circuit breakers. The ICC‘s are similarly
equipped with automatic protective devices. The remaining AMS electronics
that obtain power directly from the aircraft power system are routed through
circuit breakers. Circuits that are served by the AMS controller are protected
by the current limits inherent to the AMS controller.

Two SPDAs are provided in the EPGDS which interface with two MAU, four
Integrated Control Centers (ICC), and various control / display interfaces on
the flight deck. These SPDAs are an integral part of the aircraft utility man-
agement system to provide control and monitoring of several aircraft sys-
tems.

The SPDAs contain 2 Processor Modules, ASCB Communication Modules,


ARINC 429 Communication Modules, 2 Power Supply Modules, Discrete I/
O Modules, and AC/DC Power Modules for sourcing and controlling power
to aircraft systems and components.

Normal Operation

Each AMS controller channel is capable of providing all system control and
built in test functions through imbedded software control logic.

There are three channel control states Control, tracking,and disabled.


During any typical flight leg one channel of the AMS controller is in the Con-
trol state and is in active control of all Air Management System functions.
The opposite channel that is not in Control is in the Tracking state serving
as a redundant on-line spare channel.

Both the Control and Tracking channels will receive signals and calculate
values that are necessary for controlling the AMS system.
Only the control channel shall drive outputs.

Pneumatic system sources

The pneumatic system sources are:

• engine bleed air

• APU bleed air and

• high pressure external bleed air.

Engine bleed is controlled through bleed port selection, pressure regulation,


and temperature control. The system is protected against over temperature
and over pressure, and monitored through a manifold leak detection and
fault localization system.

Control panel

The overall control of the pneumatic bleed system is made through the
PNEUMATIC switches of the AIR COND/PNEUMATIC control panel.
The action of the switches are as follows:
• BLEED 1 - Left bleed system AUTO/OFF (the switch will be dark in the
AUTO mode, white striped bar illuminated if mode is OFF, amber strip bar
illuminates if leak is present). In the AUTO mode, bleed 1 system is ena-
bled and the left bleed system activation will be subjected to normal sys-
tem control laws. The OFF mode manually overrides the left bleed
system to continuously OFF. In other words, when you select the OFF
mode, the system drives the left high stage bleed valve and the left
NAPRSOV - nacelle pressure regulating shut off valve to the CLOSED
position.
• BLEED 2 - Right bleed system AUTO/OFF (the switch will be dark in the
AUTO mode, white striped bar illuminated if mode is OFF, amber strip bar
illuminates if leak is present). In the AUTO mode, bleed 2 system is ena-
bled and the right bleed system activation will be subjected to normal sys-
tem control laws. The OFF mode manually overrides the right bleed
system to continuously OFF. In other words, when you select the OFF
mode, the system drives the right high stage bleed valve and the right
NAPRSOV to the CLOSED position.
• XBLEED - Cross bleed valve AUTO/OFF (the switch will be dark in the
AUTO mode, white striped bar illuminated if mode is OFF, leak function
is not presented). In the AUTO mode, cross bleed valve activation will be
subject to normal system control laws. The OFF mode manually over-
rides the cross bleed system to continuously OFF. In other words, when
you select the OFF mode, the system drives the cross bleed valve to the
CLOSED position.
• BLEED APU - APU (Auxiliary Power Unit)- bleed valve AUTO/OFF (the
switch will be dark in the ON mode, white striped bar illuminated if mode
is OFF, amber strip bar illuminates if leak is present). In the AUTO mode,
APU bleed valve activation will be subjected to normal system control
laws. The OFF mode manually overrides the APU bleed system to con-
tinuously OFF. In other words, when you select the OFF mode, the sys-
tem drives the APU bleed valve to the CLOSED position.

Bleed indication

The bleed system status indication has three main displays:

• the Central Maintenance Computer (CMC) indications


• Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) indications
• ECS Synoptic Page

The CMC indications are used by the maintenance personnel to determine


the faulty component. The EICAS indications are used by the crew for flight
safety. The ECS synoptic page provides the crew with an overview of sys-
tem status.

The synoptic pages cannot be used to generate crew actions or used in any
action generated by the EICAS.

36-15 Water tank pressurization Operation

Introduction Pressurization is accomplished automatically with air bled from the engines
or APU. The bleed air is filtered and regulated to the system operating pres-
sure of 36 to 41 psig.
The aircraft is equipped with a potable water tank that supplies water to wa- If the aircraft is on the ground and the engines or the APU are not in opera-
ter heaters and lavatory faucets, as well as to water spigots and coffee mak- tion, or if the bleed air pressure is below the optimal range during flight, the
ers in the galleys. pressure switch mounted on the potable water tank activates an air com-
pressor to achieve the required water system pressure.

General description

Pressurization of the potable water tank is accomplished by the bleed sys-


tem either using the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) or the engine bleed source.
Essentially, the potable water system is of the non flow type, since it oper-
ates in transient regime and uses airflow only when water from the potable
water tank is in use.
A pressurization line, parallel to the APU bleed line, extends from the engine
bleed line to the air manifold, from where it reaches the potable water tank.
The air manifold regulates the internal pressure of the potable water tank.
The pressurization line has a 1.5 mm restrictor orifice that limits the airflow
in case of rupture at any point along its length. The pressurization line rout-
ing runs clear of critical equipment and wiring to prevent damage to these
components if a leak or a break in the line should occur.

Components

The pressurization line is made up of stainless steel tubing from the bleed
line to the vapour barrier. The stainless steel tubing has a wall thickness of
0.016 in. From the vapour barrier to the air manifold, the pressurization line
is made up of 6061 T6 aluminium tubing with a wall thickness of 0.035 in.

36-11 Engine pneumatic bleed system


Introduction

The engine bleed air control components provide bleed flow selection be-
tween the compressor 9th stage and compressor 5th stage engine bleed
ports.

The compressor 5th stage air pressure is insufficient at lower engine power
settings and compressor 9th stage air pressure is too high at higher engine
power settings.

The components installed into the engine bleed system are:


• high pressure shut-off valve,
• the nacelle pressure shut-off valve,
• the low stage bleed check valve,
• the torque motor controller,
• the precooler,
• the fan air valve

An ODS (Overheat Detection System) is installed along the bleed lines to
detect bleed air leakage.
The bleed lines include :
• Engine bleed lines,
• APU bleed lines,
• Engine mounted ducting,
• HP ground connection ducting,
• Water-tank pressurization line

All bleed lines have protective devices that:

• Absorb the relative movement between the engine and airframe,


• Absorb vibrations loads,
• Allow for thermal and pressure expansions.

These devices are incorporated in the bleed lines and are of the following
types:

• Ball-joints,
• Structural supports, and
• Flexible joints.

All pneumatic lines are thermally insulated.The thermal insulation protects


sensitive parts of the aircraft (structure and electrical/electronic equipment)
downstream of the precooler.

The bleed lines have thermal insulation blankets to:


• Reduce heat transmissions through duct surface, and
• Reduce the duct surface touch temperature.

Manifold Pressure Sensor

The manifold pressure sensor is used for condition monitoring and closed
loop control of regulating valves.The AMS controller receives electronic
feedback from the pressure sensor and modulates the bleed valves through
torque motor current.AMS controller has dual channel redundancy for left
and right AMS controllers.

The sensor is hermetically sealed and has a supply pressure port, an inter-
nal pressure transducer, and an electrical output connector.With a 28 V ex-
citation voltage (applied to pins 1 and 2), the sensor gives an output voltage
signal of 0-9 V linear over the 0-200 psia (0-1378 kPa) range.

Bleed over pressure switch

The bleed over pressure switch provides an electronic relay signal to close
the high stage bleed valve and NAPRSOV (Nacelle Pressure Regulating
Shut Off Valve) whenever manifold pressure exceeds 100 psig.
The switch senses pressure and provides a switching function at its set
point.It is actuated by completing an electrical circuit when the input pres-
sure increases to 100 psig.It is deactivated by breaking the electrical circuit
when the input pressure decreases to 93 psig.

The bleed over pressure switch is a single pole, double-throw pressure-ac-


tuated switch used to monitor bleed manifold duct pressures.
The switch is of the snap-action type and consists of an input pressure port,
an internal pressure transducer, and an electrical output connector.It pro-
vides pressure indication without drift of calibration under extreme shock, vi-
bration and other severe environmental conditions.
The over pressure switch is a rugged unit with corrosion resistant steel
welved body with a pressure sensing disk spring.It is the disk spring that pro-
vides the snap action.Hermetic sealing protects against the harmful effects
of moisture, sand and dirt.

Bleed Temperature Control

The system components on the Emb 190 are the following:

• Bleed ducts
• Fan Air Valve
• Precooler
• Temperature sensor
• AMS Controller

Normal operation starts with the Fan Air Valve in the closed position, this is
ensured by the AMS controller and by the layout of the ducts, where any
pressure towards the starter will close the Fan Air Valve.Valve closed the
system will provide the highest possible temperatures toward the pneumatic
system providing the necessary thermal energy for system operation.As en-
gine bleed temperature is rising after start and after selecting high power,
the modulation of the Fan Air Valve will be required.Continuous temperature

The sensor signal sent to the AMS controller, the controller will modulate the
Fan Air Valve torque motor current to change the valve position, according
to the pneumatic, air conditioning and anti-icing system requests.
In normal operation, the system provides precooler outlet air at 400°F
(204°C) under normal operating conditions, 450°F (232°C) during single en-
gine anti-ice, and 500°F (260°C) air for less than 2 minutes under failure
conditions.

Manifold Temperature Sensor

The manifold temperature sensor provides electronic feedback to the AMS


controller for condition monitoring and closed loop control of the fan air mod-

The manifold temperature sensor is a dual element RTD (Resistance Tem-


perature Device) type sensor.It contains a platinum temperature sensing el-
ement which is housed in a steel probe shield.The electrical resistance of
this temperature sensor increases as temperature increases.The changes
in resistance results in voltage changes across the sensor.The AMS control-
ler determines the bleed manifold temperature by monitoring these voltage
changes.

electronic torque motor controller to modulate the bleed regulating valves to
obtain the desired bleed pressure.

The engine bleed air is cooled in the precooler using cold fan air to remove
the heat.During low ambient flow conditions such as ground operation, fan
air is used for precooler cooling air flow.

The temperature of the bleed air exiting precooler is controlled by adjusting


the amount of cold fan air flowing across the precooler using a modulating
valve.

The fan air modulating valve is a pneumatic actuator butterfly valve electron-
ically controlled by a torque motor.Increasing torque motor current will cause
the valve to close.The butterfly valve has a disc and shaft set installed in the
valve housing.The valve shaft is connected to the actuator by a crank and
linkage.The valve is springloaded closed.

For ECS (Environmental Control System) operation only, the manifold tem-
perature control uses the temperatures sensed at the manifold temperature
sensor as reference.When slat anti-ice operation is enabled with ECS oper-
ation, the holter temperature sensed at the manifold temperature sensor
provides the bleed temperature control.

The AMS controller receives electronic feedback from the temperature sen-
sor to determine actual temperature exiting the right and left engine bleed
systems.

The AMS controller will then send a torque motor current command to the
fan air modulating valve which regulates the flow of cold fan air across the
cold circuit precooler.

36-12 APU pneumatic bleed system


Introduction

The APU supplies air to the aircraft pneumatic system, which is used for air
conditioning, cabin pressurization, and main engine starting.

The APU bleed air is connected to the left hand manifold, and can supply
both packs. The APU flow is controlled via the APU bleed valve and by the
two pack Flow Control Valves (FCVs).

The flow schedule is determined as a function of:

• ambient temperature,
• zone reference and
• actual zone temperature and pressure.

There is an override control loop in the AMS that responds to the APU Ex-
haust Gas Temperature (EGT) signal from the APU FADEC.

APU bleed shut-off valve

The APU bleed system contains an APU bleed shut-off valve, and an APU
bleed check valve. The APU check valve allows APU bleed supply to enter
the bleed manifold and is closed by engine bleed pressure when the APU is
not running.

The ON/OFF bleed valve is a 4-inch diameter, pneumatically actuated, so-


lenoid operated, on/off butterfly valve. Positive indication of the valve in the
open position is provided to the crew through an EICAS message.

When bleed air is requested and upstream pneumatic pressure is available,


the solenoid is actuated which allows filtered high-pressure upstream air to
fill the actuator cavity. Force acting on the piston which is linked to the but-
terfly plate, moves the valve to the open position. When the valve is com-
manded closed, the solenoid is closed, allowing the piston cavity pressure
to vent to ambient and the spring-loaded piston moves the butterfly valve to
the closed position.

APU bleed check valve

The APU bleed check valve is a 3.5 inch diameter dual flapper check valve
which is mounted in the APU bleed supply duct. Two check valve flappers
are aligned on a single hinge pin. The valve is spring loaded closed by a wire
coil spring mounted on the outlet side of the valve.

Operation

To activate the APU pneumatic bleed system, the BLEED APU switch can
be set to AUTO or OFF.

When set to OFF - manual override mode:

• APU bleed system is continuously OFF.

• On the AIR COND/PNEUMATIC control panel, the BLEED APU switch is


illuminated (a white colored striped bar comes into view).

When set to AUTO - APU bleed system is enabled:

• APU bleed activation will be subjected to normal system control laws:

– The APU bleed request is determined by the AMS (Air Management


System) controller.

– The AMS controller communicates with the FADEC (Full-Authority


Digital Engine-Control) (through the SPDA (Secondary Power Distri-
bution Assembly)) to open the APU bleed valve when exists demand.

• On the AIR COND/PNEUMATIC control panel, the BLEED APU switch


will be dark.

The hot air leak detection system

The hot air leak detection system is comprised of multiple overheat sensor
loops and electronic control. Together these components provide rapid and
reliable overheat and leak detection for the bleed air distribution manifold
and anti-ice supply ducting.

The Overheat Detection System includes six different loops in seven differ-
ent areas:

• APU duct detection loop,


• left bleed duct detection loop,
• left anti-ice duct detection loop,
• right duct detection loop,
• right anti-ice detection loop and an
• optional loop for second trim overheat detection.

The overheat signal is used for crew alerting, and to isolate the appropriate
duct sections- either automatically or by crew action. Each loop is duplicated
and runs parallel to the bleed ducts.

Heat detection loop system

The FENWAL sensor loops include outer and inner conductive materials
which are independent electrical circuits. The area between the outer and in-
ner walls of the loops are filled with salt.

If the temperature of the loops rises above 125°C/ 249°F the circuits devel-
op short. A signal is sent to the ODS cards installed in the AMS controller
module and the respective system will be shut down.

AMS can define the failure location within three inches. The system will reset
if the temperature drops below the set-point and the control switch is cycled.

If the left manifold or right manifold ODS loops indicate a failure in either the
left or right bleed duct system or the left or right air conditioning duct system,
then the respective bleed system is shut down. This action also shuts down
the slat anti-ice system, the ECS pack, and the cross bleed valve. A mes-
sage is sent to the EICAS.

If the left Manifold/Flight Deck Pack ODS loop indicates a failure in the left
manifold ducting system when the High Pressure Ground Connection is AC-
TIVE a message is sent to the EICAS to indicate the failure.

If the APU ODS loops indicate a failure of the APU duct system, then the
APU Bleed Request signal is set to FALSE and a message is sent to the EI-
CAS. In response to the EICAS message, the SPDA monitors the position
of the APU Bleed SOV.

If the APU SOV does not close within 5 seconds after the EICAS message
is received, the SPDA turns off the power to the APU FADEC. This has the
effect of shutting down the APU and thereby the hot bleed air source.

Response to Overheat Event


If the APU ODS loop indicates a failure of the APU duct system then the APU
Bleed Request signal will be set to FALSE. The logic to define that the APU
will be shutdown initiated by the AMS controller and transmitted through the
SPDA. A message to indicate the failure will be sent to the EICAS (BLEED
APU LEAK message).
In response to the EICAS message the SPDA will monitor the position of the
APU Bleed SOV. If the APU bleed valve does not close within 5 seconds af-
ter the EICAS message is received, the SPDA will command OFF the power
to the APU FADEC. This has the effect of shutting down the APU and there-
by the hot bleed source.

If the left SAI ODS loops indicates a failure in the SAI duct system then
BOTH SAIVs will be commanded CLOSED. A message to indicate the fail-
ure will be sent to the EICAS. Details of the SAI System Enable logic and
messages are described in the “Slat Anti - Ice and ICe Detection System -
System Description” - 170IPD003.

If the left Manifold / Flight Deck Pack ODS loops indicates a failure in either
the left bleed duct system or the left air conditioning Pack1 duct system then
the left bleed system will be shutdown. This will also shutdown the SAI sys-
tem, the left ECS cooling pack, the APU bleed valve and the cross bleed
valve. A message to indicate the failure will be sent to the EICAS (BLEED 1
LEAK message).

If the right Manifold / Flight Deck Pack ODS loop indicates a failure in in the
right manifold ducting system when the High Pressure Ground Connection
is ACTIVE (Connected) then a message to the flight deck will be sent to the
EICAS (BLEED 2 LEAK message) to indicate the failure.

If the right SAI ODS loops indicate a failure in the Slat Anti - Ice duct system
then BOTH SAIVs will be commanded CLOSED. A message to indicate the
failure will be sent to the EICAS.

If the APU ODS loops indicate a failure of the APU duct system, then the
APU Bleed Request signal is sent to FALSE and a message is sent to the
EICAS. In response to the EICAS message, the SPDA monitors the position
of the APU Bleed SOV.

If the APU SOV does not close within 5 seconds after the EICAS message
is received, the SPDA turns off the power to the APU FADEC. This has the

36-20 Indicating
Introduction

The indicating subsystem provides all elements and components to provide


system status indication.

General description

The bleed system status indication has three main displays:


• The CMC (Central Maintenance Computer) indications
• The EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System) indications
• The ECS (Environmental Control System) and anti-ice synoptic pages

The CMC indications are used by the maintenance personnel to determine


the faulty component.
The EICAS indications are used by the crew for actions necessary in an ab-
normal condition.
The ECS and anti-ice synoptic pages provide the crew with an overview of
the status of the system. The synoptic pages may not be used as the sole
source to generate crew actions (or used in any action generated by the EI-
CAS) unless the aircraft is on the ground.

36-30 Ozone Converters


Introduction
The ozone converter is used to convert ozone from the engine bleed air to
oxygen during high altitude flight.

General Description
The ozone converter is installed upstream of the flow sensing venturi, in the
wing. There are two ozone converters installed on the aircraft:
one for the left bleed system and other for the right bleed system.

The ozone converter has these leading operating features:


• Aircraft maximum altitude: 12500 m (41000 ft).
• Maximum operating temperature: 399 °C (750 °F).
• Maximum operating pressure: 60 psig.
• Maximum flow rate: 150 lb/min.
• Maximum permissible pressure loss: 0.5 psig at 50 lb/min.

Operation
Air exiting the bleed system passes through the ozone converter before en-
tering the air conditioning packs. The ozone converter contains a catalytic
material, which, through a chemical reaction, converts ozone molecules to
oxygen molecules. This reduces the amount of ozone in the air entering the
air conditioning system.

21-00 Air Conditioning general


Introduction

The Environmental Control System (ECS) provides air conditioning for the
flight deck and passenger cabin, filtered cabin air re circulation, conditioned
air supply for gaspers, fan air cooling for avionics and emergency ram air
ventilation for flight deck smoke clearance.
The ECS provides cargo bay ventilation. The cargo bay ventilation system
is optional.

• Two identical ECS packs which condition fresh bleed air for cabin and
flight deck heating and cooling
• Optional trim air system to provide two cabin zone temperature control
• Flow control valves to provide accurate modulation of pack air flow, and
all associated valves and sensors used for system built in test
• Avionic fan control and cargo compartment ventilation
• Cockpit smoke removal
• Provides environmental control system flow rate data used by the cabin
pressure control system to anticipate changes in cabin pressure.

pack # 1 while engine # 2 supplies bleed air to pack # 2. A single pack is
capable of keeping adequate cabin/cargo hold pressurization and tempera-
ture. Single engine bleed can supply both ECS packs using the cross bleed.

Re circulation fans

Re circulated air from the passenger cabin and cockpit is ducted to the mix-
ing manifold via two re circulation fans located in the pressurized section of
the airplane.
The re circulation fans draw air from the re circulation bays and impel the air
back into the flight deck and cabin distribution system.
The total flow entering the cockpit and the passenger cabin is made up of
approximately 52% fresh air and 48% of re circulating air.
The re circulation fans are commanded off when DUMP button is pressed or
smoke is detected in the re circulation bay.

Gasper ventilation

The gasper air distribution system provides air to each pilot and passenger
positions.Air flowing from the mixing manifold through the gasper ducts sup-
plies the gasper ventilation system.

tegrated Control Centre (RICC) and SPDA 2. The fans draw air from the rear
cabin return and expel it toward the underfloor re circulation bay.
Flow sensors are used for fan/flow health monitoring.

Forward cargo bay ventilation (Optional)

The ECS provides ventilation for live animals in the forward cargo bay.
This optional system contains a fan on the side of the bay to provide under-
floor re circulation air into the bay. The system also contains a shutt off valve
at the outlet of the bay that closes in the event of fire and thus preventing
halon from leaving the bay. In addition, in the event of fire, forward cargo
compartment fans are commanded OFF to prevent halon from entering the
cabin.

Distribution

The distribution system receives airflow from the re circulation fans, cooling
packs, ram air system and ground equipment and distributes this air to the
cockpit, passenger cabin, gaspers, avionics compartments and forward car-
go compartment.

Pressurization control

The aircraft operates at altitudes where the oxygen density is not sufficient
to sustain life. The pressurization control keeps the aircraft cabin interior at
a safe pressure altitude. This protects the passengers and crew from the ef-
fects of hypoxia (oxygen starvation).

Cooling

The cooling system receives hot bleed air from the APU (Auxiliary Power
Unit) or engines and supplies conditioned air to the distribution system.

Temperature control

The temperature control system provides independent closed loop temper-


ature control for the cockpit and one or two separate passenger cabin zones.

21-20 Air conditioning distribution


Introduction

The air that is already pressure-regulated by the pneumatic system passes


through the two packs where duct flow and temperature are adjusted to the
required level.

At the packs outlet, temperature sensors monitor duct temperature. Before


the distribution ducts enter the pressurized area, there are ground and ram
air connections. Check valves make sure that there is no back-flow into the
packs.

Air supply to the flight deck

Air supplied to the flight deck is distributed through ducts which run along the
left-hand side of the cabin underfloor area. These ducts then form a loop to
supply the following outlets and areas:

• The raiser will direct air to the rear ceiling outlets,


• from the main and the cross feed supply, air is directed to the side
windows
• The front section of the distribution loop provides display ventilation
through the piccolo duct.

The pilot and first officer positions have handle-actuated butterfly valves that
provide air for foot warming or cooling.

Normally 60% of the mixed air from the left side ECU (Environmental Control
Unit) goes to the cockpit and 40% goes to the passenger cabin through the
mixing manifold (H-duct).
Air passages located in the cockpit floor, under the pilots seats, lateral con-
soles, and the control column opening let the air return to the re circulation
fans and to the aircraft outflow and pressure relief valves.

The Cabin air distribution system

The cabin air distribution system starts at the mixer duct. From this point the
conditioned air is distributed to the gasper system, and to the front and rear
passenger cabin sections. Ducts from the mixer duct direct air to the raisers
and to the upper plenums.

In the gasper system the air exits through the individual outlets above the
passenger seats. For the main distribution system, the air exits above and
below the overhead bins.

Return air passes to the underfloor areas through "DADO" panels located
just above the floor on the fuselage side panels.

Fuselage thermal acoustic insulation

This material has the following functions:


• Reduce heat transmissions through fuselage for thermal comfort.
• Noise attenuation through fuselage.

It is made of fiberglass and non-hygroscopic blankets. The blankets are in-


volved by a thin, film for mechanical protection and better workmanship,
forming thus a bag. Each bag has a breather, always facing down, to allow
for pressure equalization during aircraft operation. Placement of breather in-
tends to prevent water penetration into the bags.

The pressurized zone is internally insulated with this material, except in the
zones where frame systems installations required differently and in some
case the insulation is not installed for specific purposes (for example E-

The Mixer

From the two ECS packs and the two re circulation fans, the air flow is di-
rected to the mix-manifold.

If the optional two-zone system is installed, additional hot air is supplied to


the mix-manifold via trim check valves and trim by-pass valves.

The total air flow entering the flight deck, the cabin compartments and the
gaspers is made up of approximately 50% fresh air and 50% re circulated
air.

Cabin air recirculation

Re circulation of the cabin air is controlled by two re circulation fans. The


fans draw air from the re circulation bay through glass-fibre filter elements
and direct the air back to the mixer duct.

The re circulation fans are single-speed fans driven by three-phase 115/


200V AC motors. The motors contain internal thermal protection circuits to
shut down the fan in case of an over temperature condition.

• It is driven by a three-phase 115/200 VAC, 400 Hz motor.
• It contains an internal thermal protection circuit which is used to shut
down the fan in the event of an over temperature condition.

Recirculation fan filter (HEPA-type)

The re circulation fan filter assembly consists of an 11.5 in diameter cylindri-


cal glass-fiber filter element which is encased in a protective aluminium grid.
The filter is mounted on a bracket in line with both the left and right circula-
tion fans (two per aircraft). The filters cannot be bypassed and become more
efficient with increased service life.
The fan filter has the following features:
• An upper-and-lower composite flange connects the filter element and
protective grid as one assembly.
• A rubber gasket is mounted on the lower flange to provide the sealing
mechanism for installation on the aircraft.

Smoke detector

There is one smoke detector attached below the passenger cabin floor
structure, in the re circulation area, between the re circulation filters.
The smoke detector is a photoelectric type sensor that operates on the prin-
ciple of light scattering by suspended smoke particles.

The ram air ventilation system

The ram air ventilation system allows outside ambient air to enter the flight
deck and passenger compartment when the air conditioning packs are shut
down.

The system is normally not actuated when packs are operating, and ram air
is passing through the heat exchangers to provide duct cooling.

The ram air system includes a ram air valve installed in the left ram air inlet
duct, and ram air check valve installed in the right ram air duct. The ram air
ventilation valve is a butterfly valve powered by 28 VDC. Micro switches are
provided for position indication.

The manual override feature allows manual opening and closing of the
valve.

The emergency ram air valve The emergency ram-air valve actuator moves the emergency ram-air valve
through a movable arm. When ram air flows to the heat exchanger, the flow
to the ram air duct closes, and vice-versa.

closed if the aircraft speed is less than 50 kts. In order to avoid unnecessary
message, the emergency ram-air valve is also commanded closed when the
aircraft is in Ground Service Mode.
The ram-air ventilation system is also used for emergency cockpit smoke re-
moval. If there is evidence of smoke in the cockpit, the flight crew will latch
the cabin pressure-control-system dump-switch. Upon receipt of the dump
switch signal the AMS controller will command both the left and right pack
flow control valves closed. The left and right recirculation fans will be com-
manded off to eliminate recirculation of cockpit air flow. The forward elec-
tronics compartment backup ventilation fan will be commanded on to
increase ventilation flow through the cockpit area. The emergency ram-air
valve will be commanded open. These actions will permit the flow of fresh
air through the emergency ram-air valve to clear smoke in the cockpit area.
Fresh air will also flow through the emergency ram-air check-valve to equal-
ize pressure in the mixing duct and provide emergency ventilation for the
passenger cabin zones.

Smoke removal

The ram ventilation system is also used for cockpit smoke removal.
Flight crew will depress cockpit DUMP switch as an emergency procedure
for cockpit smoke removal. When the dump switch is depressed the CPCS
(Cabin Pressure Control-System) will depressurize the cabin at a rate of
2000 ft/min. The AMS (Air Management System) controller will then shut
down both air conditioning packs, turn off both re circulation fans and open
the emergency ram air check valve. This will allow fresh air to flow through
the cockpit.

21-27 Forward cargo compartment


Introduction

The forward cargo compartment ventilation system draws air from the cabin
underfloor area by means of a single fan, and exhaust the air through the
cargo compartment shut-off valve into the re circulation bay area to the out-
flow valve.

During normal operation the fan is operating, and the shut-off valve is open
and monitored by the AMS controller. In case of fire, the fan is turned off and
the valve is immediately closed.

A check valve ensures that there is no airflow toward the passenger com-
partment.

Note: This cargo compartment ventilation system is optional.

is capable of providing adequate airflow. This test will detect fan failures that
are not detected by continuous load current monitoring. During this power
up/ post landing fan operational test the AMS controller commands only one
E-Bay fan on in each E-Bay and uses the E-Bay flow sensor to verify that
the fan is operating. This test is performed on each fan. If all the fans in a
common electronics bay (forward or mid) do not meet the minimum flow re-
quirements of this test, the AMS controller will determine that the E-Bay flow
sensor in the associated bay has failed.

The recirculation bay smoke detector is tested by the AMS controller using
the recirculation bay smoke detectors automated BIT function. The BIT is
performed whenever the AMS controller is powered up (after shut down) and

smoke detector to perform an internal BIT: The recirculation bay smoke de-
tector BIT sequence includes fan current monitoring and a test of the smoke
detecting and alarm capability. If the recirculation bay smoke detector does
not pass the BIT sequence the AMS controller will generate the EICAS mes-
sage RECIRC SMK DET FAIL to alert the flight crew that the recirculation
bay smoke detector is inoperative. In addition, continuous BIT monitors sets

21-26 Avionics compartment avionics-compartment area using the middle avionicscompartment fan as a
driven source. This duct improves the performance of the aft avionics-com-
partment ventilation and also the smoke containment in that area.
Introduction

The avionics compartment ventilation system incorporates forward and mid-


dle compartments.

The main function of the forward avionics compartment ventilation system is


to provide a reliable ventilation source that will maintain a safe temperature
in the forward avionics compartment. The forward avionics compartment
ventilation system utilizes three 4.5 in diameter single-speed fans to pull air
from the avionics compartment to the re circulation area.

The fans contain an integral check valve to prevent reverse flow when the
fan is not in use.

The fans are connected in parallel to a common supply duct. An electronic


flow sensor is mounted in the main ventilation supply duct and is used for
system health monitoring.

The main function of the middle avionics compartment ventilation system is


to provide a reliable ventilation source that will maintain a safe temperature
in the middle avionics compartment. The middle avionics compartment ven-
tilation system utilizes two 5.25 in diameter single-speed fans and one 5.25
in diameter, 2-speed fan to pull air from the middle avionics compartment to
the re circulation area.

The fans contain an integral check valve to prevent reverse flow when the
fan is not in use. The fans are connected in parallel to a common distribution
duct. An electronic flow sensor is mounted in the main ventilation duct and
is used for system health monitoring.

The aft avionics compartment does not have a dedicated fan. A duct is rout-
ed from the aft avionics compartment to the middle avionicscompartment in-
let duct. This duct draws air from the passenger cabin through the aft

Forward avionics compartment fan

The forward avionics compartment fan is a 4.5 in diameter single-speed ax-


ial flow fan, weighing 4.5 lb with an overall length of 6.5 in,and produces a
volumetric flow rate of 224 ft3/min. The fan wheel is contained in a cylindrical
aluminium housing which incorporates a twin flapper check valve design to
prevent flow in the reverse direction.
The fan is driven by a 3 - phase 115/200 VAC 400 Hz motor. The motor con-
tains an internal thermal protection circuit which is used to shut down the fan
in the event of an over temperature condition. Maintenance of the fan is on
condition.

Forward avionics compartment ventilation ducts

A common supply duct has three fans that are connected in parallel to it. An
electronic flow sensor is mounted in the main ventilation supply duct and is
used for system health monitoring. The ducts are made of composite mate-
rials.

Forward avionics compartment flow sensor

The forward avionics compartment flow sensor consists of CRH (Constant


Resistance Heating) element and a platinum RTD (Resistance Temperature
Device) mounted in a stainless steel probe. A constant voltage is applied to
heat the CRH element to a known value. The CRH elements temperature
and electrical resistance will change with variations in mass flow rate. The
RTD element measures the ambient air temperature in the duct. The AMS
(Air Management System) controller uses the CRH element resistance
changes, along with the ambient temperature from the RTD element to cal-
culate a local mass flow rate in the duct. If the local mass flow rate falls below
a certain level (indicating no duct flow) the AMS controller will alert the flight
crew of a low flow condition using the EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew
Alerting System).

Operation

The forward avionics compartment architecture consists of one flow sensor,


two fans for normal operation and one emergency backup fan.During normal
system operation, the left fan operates and the right and the emergency
backup fan (center) remain in standby mode.If there is a failure of the left fan,
the right fan is commanded on.If there are failures of both left and right fans,
the emergency fan (center) is commanded on.This also turns on, in low
speed mode, the emergency backup fan in the middle avionics compart-
ment.The system utilizes an electronic flow sensor, installed on the ventila-
tion duct, to detect a low flow condition.The low flow sensor switch set point
is adjusted for the flow of one fan in the forward avionics compartment.

Hot Day Ground Operation


For ground operation with the ambient temperature above 86 Deg F (30 Deg
C) both Fan 1 and Fan 2 will be turned on to meet a two fan flow threshold.
Fan 3 will be in standby mode and will be turned on only if Fan 1 or Fan 2
has failed.

The FWD E-BAY FANS FAIL messages shows on the EICAS if:

• the two fans for normal operation (left and right) are failed AND the air-
craft is on ground, OR;
• The emergency backup fan is failed AND the aircraft is on ground, OR;
• The flow sensor is failed AND the aircraft is on ground,OR;
• The flow sensor indicates that there is NOT at least one fan operating
(low-flow sensor reading),OR;
• All three fans are failed AND the aircraft is in flight.

A single fan failure results in only one CMC (Central Maintenance Compu-
ter) message.It is important to note that the forward avionics compartment
ventilation system can maintain adequate compartment cooling with one fan
operational.

21-28 Electronic Rack Ventilation System


Introduction
The electronic-equipment-rack ventilation system provides airflow for cool-
ing of nonessential electronic equipment installed in a dedicated equipment
rack. In the event of smoke resulting from failure of electronic equipment, the
rack ventilation system provides means to discharge the smoke overboard.

The electronic-equipment-rack is installed in the lower compartment, behind


the aft partition of the aft cargo compartment.

The shelves of the rack contain the several units required for the proper
functioning of the in-flight entertainment system.Some of these units require
forced ventilation, supplied by a dedicated and independent ventilation sys-
tem, in order to minimize effects on air-conditioning distribution, pressuriza-
tion and smoke management.

The rack ventilation system comprises:

• One electric-motor-driven fan


• An overboard air-discharge port
• Two electric-motor-driven air shutoff valves
• One smoke detector
• One airflow switch
• Three airflow-limiting venturis
• Associated air collection and conveyance ducts

Ventilation ducts
The air/smoke extracted from the electronic equipment rack passes the fan
and reaches the shutoff valves through a set of 4.5 in diameter aluminium
ducts.Then the air/smoke is directed to the atmosphere through a vent duct
and a fuselage port located at the right hand side of the fuselage, behind the
aft avionics compartment.

The 3 in diameter vent duct is also made of aluminium and runs from the
shutoff valves to a 2.5 in diameter vent port at the right side of the fuselage
skin.The vent duct has an upward loop to avoid de-icing fluids ingestion and
water ingression during ditching.A venturi in the overboard exhaust duct pre-
vents excess loss of cabin pressure in case of a duct failure.

A duct bypasses the ground shutoff valve and prevents excessive loss of
cabin pressure in case of duct failure.It also keeps a minimum required air-
flow for the rack cooling when the vent shutoff valve is closed due to smoke
detection in the air conditioning system (basically in the recirculation bay),
single pack operation or for dispatch ability when one pack is inoperative.

Shutoff valves
The ground and vent shutoff valves are identical.They are attached to the aft
floor panel (aft avionics compartment) close to the aft pressure bulkhead.

These valves are of the electric-motor-driven butterfly type and consists of


two major subassemblies: an actuator and a butterfly valve.The actuator as-
sembly controls the position of the valve.It comprises of an electric motor, a
gear train, position control/indication switches, an electrical connector, and
a housing.The actuator moves the valve to each of the two desired discrete
positions, fully closed and fully open, based on command from the air-
craft.The motor is a precision, aircraft-quality, brush-type 28 VDC perma-
nent magnet.

The valves contain limit switches that control the motor and provide valve
position indication.

Maintenance Test Panel

The maintenance test panel is installed in the aft electronics-compartment


rack on the right-hand side at the upper shelf.It provides a mean for testing
the smoke detector and also to verify the operation of the shutoff valves
(ground/vent).The panel also indicates failures of the smoke detector, vent
shutoff valve, ground shutoff valve and rack cooling system (fan and airflow
switch) through 4 LED (Light-Emetting Diode)s (amber color).These failure
indications are latched in order to enable the maintenance crew to evaluate
the problem on the ground.

Monitoring Panel (LEDS)

The ventilation system monitoring panel consists of 4 LEDs installed near


the G2 Galley, on the side panel, forward of the LH passenger entry-door:

• COOLING FAIL
• SMOKE DETECTOR FAIL
• GROUND VALVE FAIL
• VENT VALVE FAIL

Just like the maintenance test panel, these LEDs also indicate eventual fail-
ures of the rack ventilation system LRU (Line Replaceable Unit)s.The main
difference is that the monitoring panel has an easier access and is much
simpler (it does not have test functions, for instance).The monitoring panel
is used for maintenance purposes only (such as troubleshooting).

Operation

During ground operation, the fan draws the air from the underflow compart-
ment through the rack equipment and exhausts it to the outside.The ground
valve and vent valve are open.The airflow switch monitors the airflow rate to
ensure adequate cooling capacity for the electronic units.

During takeoff, when the TLA (Thrust Lever Angle) is moved above 60 de-
grees and the parking brake is released, the ventilation system is automati-
cally configured to the flight mode.During descent and landing, this
configuration will remain until 20 s after touchdown, when the system reverts
back to ground mode.

In the flight mode, the ground valve is closed and the fan is shut off.The vent
valve and the bypass line are open.The pressure difference between the
cabin and the outside air serves as the driver for cabin air to flow through the
rack ventilation system discharging the exhaust air to the outside.The airflow
switch monitors the airflow rate to ensure adequate cooling capacity for the
electronic units.Its signal is inhibited during flight under 17500 ft +/- 500 ft,
when the ventilation system has not reached its nominal capability.

Fan Operation

During normal ground operation, the fan is commanded ON and both shutoff
valves are commanded OPEN.After takeoff or in response to a smoke de-
tection on ground, the fan is commanded OFF and the ground shutoff valve
is commanded CLOSED.

The fan operates on the ground even when only the ground service power
bus is available, in order to ventilate the Wireless Aircraft Unit (WAU).

and the ground shutoff valve.When the aircraft is on the ground, in normal
operation condition, both SOV (Shutoff Valve)s must be in the OPEN posi-
tion, confirmed by the LED “OPEN” indication illuminated in green color. The LED RESET 2-position momentary toggle switch (with normal position
lever-lock) allows the LED “FAIL” indication (amber color) to be cleared after
the cause of the fault indication has been fixed.
The operational checks are achieved by lifting the toggle switch and moving
it UP (to test the vent valve) and DOWN (to test the ground valve).At this
time the LED “OPEN” indication will turn OFF and after a few seconds (5-8 The LED TEST 2-position momentary toggle switch (with normal position le-

The smoke detector test switch allows complete testing of the smoke detec-
tion and indication system for the electronic equipment rack.When the test
switch is momentarily pressed, it illuminates in white color indicating that the
test has initiated.When the test is successfully completed, the LED “PASS”
indication will illuminate in green color and the “IFE RACK SMOKE” caution
message is displayed on the EICAS.At the same time, an aural warning ac-
tivated in the cockpit.

When the test switch is held pressed longer than 10 s, the auto shutdown
function is checked.In this case, the power is removed from rack compo-
nents and the IFE RACK SMOKE message is displayed on EICAS.At the
same time, an aural warning is activated in the cockpit.

There are four failure LEDs (amber color) on the maintenance test panel:
vent valve, ground valve, smoke detector (auto test) and rack cooling sys-
tem (ducting, fan or airflow switch).They are intended to help the ground
crew to determine which LRU needs troubleshooting.These failure indica-
tions are latched once they occur.

21-30 Pressurization
Introduction

The Cabin Pressure Control System is designed for completely automatic


operation. The pressurization controller has two fully independent channels,
which alternate after each flight (70 seconds after touchdown). Both chan-
nels provide a manual back up function. The system utilizes digital electron-
ics to communicate with the other aircraft systems via ARINC 429 buses and
discrete signals.

The Cabin Pressure Control System, in automatic mode, will control the
pressurization in the cabin to a maximum cabin altitude of 8,000ft. The sys-
tem will also control the maximum differential pressure of 8.32 psi up to
41,000ft aircraft altitude with a comfortable rate of change in climb and de-
scent modes. These limits are achieved by modulating the airflow through
the outflow valve. Separate mechanical positive and negative relief valves
satisfy the safety relief functions.

The cabin pressure control system

The Cabin Pressure Control System includes the following components:

• The pressurization controller,


• the cabin outflow valve,
• the negative pressure relief valve and
• safety valve.

The flight deck interface contains the pressurization control panel, including
an auto and manual selector rotary switch, the EICAS display with Cabin
Pressure Control System related messages, and the EICAS display lower
section where cabin altitude, rate of change, maximum differential pressure
and landing field elevation are displayed.

The system also includes the multi-function display, for viewing CMC mes-
sages, and the Multi function Display ECS synoptic page to monitor the out-
flow valve position.

The CPCS controller is part of a dual redundant system. It is active when the
system operates in the automatic mode. Only one control channel operates
the outflow valve at any given time. The other control channel is in hot stand-
by. Pressure sensor signals are transmitted via ARINC 429 to the control cir-
cuits and are used for cabin pressure control logic. The control channel
calculates a reference value for cabin pressure from external aircraft inputs
and internal logic.The reference value is compared with the actual cabin
pressure and when a difference exists, an error signal is output.This error
signal is fed to one of the motors in the actuator to drive the outflow valve to
the desired position.

The Cabin Pressure Control System modes

During ground and flight operation the CPCS determines the current flight
mode depending on ARINC information. The system operates with the fol-
lowing flight modes:
• Ground (GN)
• Takeoff (TO)
• Climb (CI, CE)
• Cruise (CR)
• Descent (DI)
• Abort (AB)

The mode logic uses the following information from the MAU (Modular Avi-
onics Unit) to determine the current flight mode:
• Landing gear status and validity (generated by FADEC (Full-Authority
Digital Engine-Control)
• Engine takeoff power status and validity (generated by FADEC)
• Ambient pressure (generated by ADC)
• Cruise Flight Level (CRFL) and validity (generated by FMS)

The flight mode transitions for a normal flight are as follows:

• Ground Mode - The ground mode is active when the landing gear status

only possible if the cruise mode has not been entered and either the air-
craft is below 10000 ft absolute or is less than 5000 ft above the takeoff

Climb and Cruise modes

• Climb external is used when a valid CRFL is received from the FMS.
Climb internal is used if the CRFL is invalid or the FMS fails.
• Climb Mode to Abort - If the aircraft stops climbing and begins an imme-
diate descent, the CPCS interprets this as a flight abort. The abort is only
possible if the cruise mode has not been entered and either the aircraft is
below 10000 ft absolute or is less than 5000 ft above takeoff field.
• Climb Mode to Cruise - In the climb external mode, the mode logic switch-
es from climb to cruise when the aircraft reaches the planned CRFL. In
the climb internal mode, the mode logic switches from climb to cruise
when the aircraft stops climbing.
• Cruise Mode to Descent - The descent mode becomes active when the
aircraft starts descending after the cruise.
• Descent to Ground - The ground mode is active when the landing gear
status indicates that the aircraft is on the ground.

Descent and Abort modes

The CPCS will transition to DESCENT mode by selecting the landing field
altitude before the aircraft leaves the cruise flight level. The target pressure
will be set to landing field altitude plus 0.12 psi to ensure landing with the
CPCS in control. Cabin rate of change depends on cabin pressure, landing
field pressure and ambient pressure within 200 and 750 fpm.

If the aircraft stops climbing and begins immediate descent, the CPCS tran-
sits to ABORT mode. This transition is only possible from climb mode when
the aircraft altitude is below 10000 ft absolute or 5000 above the takeoff
field. In this mode, cabin pressure will be scheduled back to the take-off al-
titude, with a 5000 fpm rate of change.

Manual mode

The manual mode of operation gives the flight crew manual control of the
cabin pressure.
When the MODE selector switch on the pressurization control panel is in the
MAN position, it configures the CPCS for manual operation. Both automatic
channels revert to the stand-by state. The manual operation is performed by
one control channel which is selected automatically. The crew has direct
manual control of the outflow valve via the CABIN ALT switch on the pres-
surization control panel.
The CPCS detects any failure in the manual mode and provides fault mes-
sages to the EICAS and CMC (Central Maintenance Computer).
The EICAS shows the message “PRESN MAN FAIL” if the manual function
of both channels has failed.
Failures detected during flight which do not require crew action are dis-
played on the CMCM (Central Maintenance Computer Module) after land-
ing.

Built-in Test

The CPCS controller has BIT logic to detect failures within each control
channel or in the CPCS functions. If the BIT logic detects a fault in the active
control channel, the control channel goes into automatic fail. The CPCS
switches automatically to the other control channel without any workload to
the crew. A channel Fail message is displayed on the CMC display.

All detected faults are stored in NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) and can be
down loaded for maintenance purposes off-wing. All faults are continuously
transmitted to EICAS and CMCM via the ARINC 429 output bus.

The CPCS checks internal parameters and functionality. The internal fault
detection logic detects and isolates single LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) and
interconnection failures that cause loss of functionality or redundancy.

The CPCS performs these tests:


• Power-up test
• Continuous hardware and software tests
• Continuous function tests
The power-up test is done after a cold start, a reset or a power supply inter-
rupt. During the power-up test internal devices initialize and check the hard-
ware and software of the CPCS. When the test has passed, the main page
is shown on the EICAS display. When the power-up test fail, the PRSN
AUTO FAULT message is displayed on the EICAS.

Outflow valve

The outflow valve controls the air flow out of the aircraft fuselage. It is in-
stalled on the forward fairing bulkhead.

The outflow valve consists of a valve body and a rotary actuator. The valve
body comprises a 8.5 in diameter butterfly valve, a two-piece butterfly valve
flap, a splined shaft and an actuator housing.

The valve body, valve flap and actuator housing are made of anodized alu-
minium alloy. The valve flap is bolted around the splined shaft and moves to
the closed if loss of mechanical actuation occurs.

The rotary actuator consists of two brush less DC (Direct Current) motors, a
gear train and a dual channel potentiometer.

Each DC motor is controlled and monitored by a separate channel of the


CPCS controller. Only one DC motor drives the outflow valve at any time.
Both DC motors use the same actuator mechanism.

The gear train consists of two irreversible worm screws, a differential gear
stage and two stages of spur gears. The worm screws are linked directly to
the output shafts on the DC motors. The spiral angle of the worm screw pre-
vents back driving of the motors.

The dual potentiometer sends a position signal to each control channel of


the CPCS controller. This provides position feedback of the outflow valve in
automatic and manual modes of operation.

The CPCS has a fail-safe software logic to close the outflow valve if the cab-
in pressure altitude reaches 14500 ft. This function overrides the normal au-
tomatic operation only, it does not effect the manual operation of the outflow
valve.

The positive pressure relief valve

The positive pressure relief valve is a pneumatically actuated gate valve, lo-
cated on the rear pressure bulkhead, normally held in the closed position by
a pre-loaded spring.

Valve operation is independent of the Cabin Pressure Control System con-


troller. The relief valve provides both positive and negative pressure relief. It
contains a pilot valve that compares cabin pressure to ambient pressure.

If the pressure difference exceeds 8.66 psid, the pilot valve will open and the
differential pressure will act on the diaphragm to open the valve.

A micro switch is mounted on the valve to provide input to the Modular Avi-
onics Unit for status reporting. The static port connects the positive pressure
relief valve to ambient pressure.

The port is located at the rear fuselage section and has an integral heater
powered by 28 VDC to eliminate ice blockage.

Negative pressure relief

Under normal flight conditions, the valve is in the closed position. The valve
is mechanically actuated using the self-balanced spring forces at the valve
gate and the ambient-to-cabin differential pressure. If the ambient pressure
exceeds the aircraft cabin pressure, the valve gate opens and limits the neg-
ative pressure. The springs set the cap to open at a differential pressure of
-10 hPa (-0.15 psi). The valve is fully open at -35 hPa (-0.51 psi).

The safety valve has also a negative relief function. If the ambient pressure
acting on the underside of the gate valve exceeds the cabin pressure, the
gate valve opens allowing air from ambient to flow into the cabin.

21-40 Heating
Introduction

The door sill heaters are electric heating pads located in the forward and aft
doorway entrances, attached to the floor panels. These pads provide heat-
ing during cold weather icing conditions, to prevent snow accumulation at
the door entry. The unit includes:

• a panel shaped to fit the mounting holes,


• an internal heating element and
• a temperature control sensor.

Floor panel heaters operation

The floor panel heaters operate when the aircraft is on the ground with the
doors open, and an outside air temperature below 40°F/4.4°C.

The power source to the heater is 115v single phase AC.

If the ambient temperature increases above 45°F/7.2°C or if the door is


closed, the power to the heater will be disconnected. When the heating ele-
ment is powered, the internal thermostat will regulate the temperature.

If internal temperature rises above 68°F/20°C, the thermostat will open and
disconnect heating. If the temperature drops below 59°F/15°C, the thermo-
stat will close the circuit and heating will begin.

An over temperature protection switch is included in the circuit. The switch


will disable heating on rising temperature of 149°F/65°C, and it will reset if
panel temperature drops below 104°F/40°C. In case of heater failure, a mes-
sage is generated on the CMC.

The floor panels heaters construction

The heating panel is a Kapton foil heater bonded to an aluminium cover and
skin. This construction provides a thin flexible heating element. Epoxy adhe-
sive is used to bond the Kapton foil to the metal element, to prevent moisture
penetration.

The foil heater is rated for continuous use at 302°F/150°C, which is well
above the normal operating temperature of the mat.

The heated floor panels have an electrical lead of sufficient length to allow
easy removal and installation.

21-50 Cooling
Introduction

The air conditioning system utilizes two identical cooling packs that provide
condition bleed air for cabin heating and cooling.

The packs provide condition bleed air for cabin heating and cooling, and in-
clude the following components:

• Dual heat exchanger,


• Air cycle machine,
• Condenser-reheater,
• Water collector,
• Add heat bypass valve and
• temperature sensors.

There are also two external components:

• The Pack bypass valve, and a


• Pack flow control valve which together control pack operation.

During normal operation, each cooling pack provides half of the total fresh
airflow; however, a single pack is capable of providing 67% of the total flow
and ensuring safe aircraft ventilation and temperature control capability.

heater, water collector, valves and temperature sensors. The primary func-
tion of the air cooling pack is to supply conditioned air to the cabin
distribution system for environmental control. The air cooling pack also con-
tains an internal condensing water collection system which removes mois-
ture from the cooling pack air flow. Hot air from the engine bleed system is
precooled in the dual heat exchanger using cold ram (outside) air to remove
the heat. An air cycle machine within the pack contains two cooling turbines
which generate cold air, through expansion, for cooling cabin.

The cooling pack system conditions hot bleed air for cabin air conditioning.
There are two identical cooling packs (right and left) per aircraft and they are
located in the ECS (Environmental Control System) pack bay in the forward
fairing of the aircraft.

The cooling pack is an air cycle refrigeration system that uses air passing
through and into the airplane as the refrigerant. The cooling pack system au-
tomatically controls the temperature and decreases the humidity of the cock-
pit and cabin air. The two cooling packs, which are installed in the forward
part of the wing-to-fuselage fairing, provide dry, sterile, and dust free, condi-
tioned air to the flight deck and passenger cabin at the proper temperature,
flow rate, and pressure to satisfy pressurization and temperature control re-
quirements.
An equal quantity of filtered, re circulated air is mixed with air from the cool-
ing packs.
A flow control valve regulates flow of bleed air into the air conditioning packs.
The refrigeration pack is out fitted with sensors and valves for temperature
and operational control, and heat exchangers that use outside ram air for ex-
cess heat dissipation.
An equal quantity of filtered re circulated air is mixed with air from the air con-
ditioning packs. The high quantity of supply air results in a complete cabin
air exchange about every 2.5 to 3.5 minutes (based on aircraft configuration
and altitude), or about 18 to 25 times an hour.

The flow control valve

The pack flow control valve is located upstream of the left and right air cool-
ing packs.

The valve is torque motor controlled and modulated by the AMS controller,
but has a pneumatically actuated butterfly valve. It incorporates a closed po-
sition switch to provide position feedback to the AMS controller. A filter re-
moves air supply contaminants.

A locking screw installed in the actuator housing can be used to lock the
valve in a closed position.

The valve operates as follows:

• the flow sensing venturi differential pressure signal is sent to the


AMS controller for calculation. For internal calculation, the AMS
also uses the manifold bleed pressure and the pack inlet tempera-
ture to determine air flow to the packs. The controller millivolt signal
is sent to the flow control valve to define the valve position that will
modulate the air flow.

The flow sensing venturi

The flow sensing venturi is a steel duct. The venturi contains pressure-sens-
ing ports on the upstream and downstream side of the duct orifice. Airflow
across this duct is measured by a differential pressure sensor mounted on
the venturi and is used by the AMS Controller to calculate the air flow.

The sensor provides a zero to 10 volt DC electronic signal to the AMS con-
troller. The sensor is hermetically sealed and has two input pressure ports,
an internal pressure transducer and an electric connector.

Venturi Delta-P sensors

The differential pressure sensor is mounted on the flow sensing venturi duct
directly upstream of the pack flow control valve. The sensor provides a 0 to
10 VDC (Volt Direct Current) electronic signal to the AMS controller, which
is used to calculate the air flow that goes into the environmental control sys-
tem. The sensor is hermetically sealed and consists of two input pressure
ports, and internal pressure transducer, and an electrical connector. There
are two differential pressure sensors per aircraft (one per cooling pack).

Air conditioning pack flow controls

The flow of air to the air conditioning packs is measured using a differential
pressure sensor which is mounted on a venturi duct. The differential pres-
sure sensor sends an electronic signal to the AMS controller. The AMS con-
troller uses the differential pressure, the bleed manifold pressure, and the
pack inlet temperature to calculate airflow going to the air conditioning pack.
The AMS controller then supplies a torque motor current command to mod-
ulate the pack flow control valve to obtain the desired pack airflow rate.

The dual heat exchanger ceeds the ACM fan outlet pressure. This fan bypass function is necessary to
prevent ACM damage caused by excessive fan surge margins. There are
two fan bypass check valves per aircraft (one per cooling pack).
A dual heat exchanger and a fan inlet diffuser housing assembly are in-
stalled into each ECS pack.

The heat exchanger has three different circuits:

• The primary circuit removes heat from bleed air before entering the
compressor section. The primary section is a single-pass cross flow
configuration.
• The secondary circuit removes heat from the compressor outlet air
before it goes towards the reheater. The secondary section is a
two-pass cross-counter flow configuration.
• Both bleed circuits are cooled by ram air in series - first the second-
ary then through the primary heat exchanger sections.

Ram air exiting the heat exchangers enters the fan inlet diffuser housing and
is either pulled through to ambient by the fan or passes through the fan by-
pass check valve.

The heat exchanger contains access windows for inspection and cleaning of
the heat exchanger ram air circuit.

Fan bypass check valve

The fan bypass check valve is a 12 in diameter hinged, petal-type check


valve which has six petals that cover six orifice windows in a single valve
seat. The valve allows airflow through the orifice windows in one direction.
Flow in the opposite direction (reverse flow) is prevented by the petals clos-
ing on the aluminium check valve frame.

The fan bypass check valve is installed in the cooling pack between the fan
inlet diffuser housing and the ram air outlet duct, and allows ram air to by-
pass the air cycle machine fan whenever pressure in the ram air circuit ex-

The air cycle machine components

The air cycle machine provides the source for pack cooling. The external
structure consists of a fan and compressor housing, a first stage turbine
housing, and a second stage turbine housing. Each housing is made of cast
aluminium.

The ACM internal structure has two turbine rotors which drive a compressor
rotor and a cooling fan rotor.

The four rotors and two shaft segments turn as one assembly locked togeth-
er by a tie rod.
The assembly rotates in a pair of hydrodynamic, foil-type journal bearings.
Axial movement is limited by a pair of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. These
hydrodynamic foil-type bearings use no oil and require no scheduled main-
tenance.

The fan rotor is attached to one end of the assembly and is positioned adja-
cent to the fan shaft segment followed by the compressor rotor, first turbine
rotor, turbine shaft segment, and second turbine rotor. The turbine shaft seg-
ment includes both a journal bearing surface and the thrust disk on which
the two bearings act.

A tie-rod goes through the centre of the shaft and rotor segments and holds
the assembly together axially. The tie-rod is assembled with a high preload
which permits all components of the assembly to operate as a one shaft sys-
tem.

Air cycle machine operation

Air is cooled in the primary section of the dual heat exchanger using ram air
to remove the heat. The air is then compressed by the compressor portion
of the dual turbine ACM. The heat generated by compression is removed by
the secondary portion of the dual heat exchanger, using ram air. The air is
then passed through the condenser/reheater where it is sub-cooled within
the condenser using the cold exhaust air from the first stage turbine. This
cooling process condenses water from the air to permit it to be collected by
the water collector. The collected water is moved to the spray nozzle, which
is located in the secondary ram inlet header of the dual heat exchanger.

The water is sprayed on the ram air face of the core to increase the heat ex-
changer performance through evaporative cooling. After exiting the water
collector, the air flows through the re-heater portion where it is preheated to
increase first stage turbine performance.

After expansion through the first stage turbine portion of the ACM, the air
passes through the cold side condenser portion of the condenser/ reheater
where it removes the heat for condensation. After exiting the cold side of the
condenser, the air enters the second stage turbine of the ACM where it is
expanded to provide the cold air source for cabin cooling.

The condenser inlet temperature is continuously monitored by the AMS con-


troller using electronic feedback from the condenser inlet temperature sen-
sor. The condenser inlet temperature is controlled by adding warm
compressor outlet air to the condenser inlet airflow. This is achieved by mod-
ulation of the low limit valve and/or the opening and closing of the add heat
valve. The condenser inlet temperature is controlled to 34 °F/ 1.1°C under
most pack operating conditions to prevent water from freezing in the con-
denser. In certain low humidity conditions the condenser inlet may be con-
trolled to 50 °F/ 10 °C. Pack outlet temperatures are continuously monitored
by the AMS controller using electronic feedback from the pack outlet tem-
perature sensor. The pack outlet temperature is controlled by adding hot
pack inlet air to the pack outlet airflow. This is accomplished by modulation
of the pack bypass valves. The AMS controller reads actual pack outlet tem-
peratures and sends a torque motor current command to modulate the pack
bypass valves to obtain the desired pack outlet temperatures.

Condenser/Reheaters

The condenser/re-heater is an aluminium dual-heat exchanger consisting of


headers and mounts welded to a core. Both core sections are single pass,
cross flow, plate-and-fin designs. The condenser cold circuit is situated be-
tween the two turbine stages of the air cycle machine and is never subjected
to sub-freezing air temperatures, therefore, it does not require complicated
features for the prevention of ice buildup, which other systems using the
conventional chilled re circulation cycle demand.

Water collectors

The water collector is a brazed and welded assembly. The collector body is
constructed of two aluminium-brazed sub assemblies welded together at the
outside diameter. Each section of the sub assembly is made of spun and hy-
dro-formed sheet metal parts.
The water collector removes water from the condenser/reheater heat ex-
changer and sends the dry air to the air cycle machine. A swirl vane at the
water collector inlet sends the water to the duct walls. A clearance between
the diffuser section and the air return diffuser section catches most of the
water from the airflow. A drain boss located at the lowest section of the col-
lector lets water drain by gravity and air pressure. An overflow drain boss lo-
cated slightly above the lowest point lets water drain if the primary port is
clogged.

Water spray nozzles

The water spray nozzle is mounted in the ram air inlet ducting directly up-
stream of the dual heat exchanger. Water, which is collected in the water
collector, is routed through drain line to the water spray nozzle. The water
spray nozzle sprays the water on the ram inlet face of the secondary heat
exchanger. This cools the air that goes into the secondary heat exchanger
and improves heat exchanger performance.

The bypass valve

The pack bypass valve is installed parallel to the air conditioning packs. It is
a butterfly valve powered by a pneumatic actuator.

The valve maintains the required hot air flow to the pack outlet, as directed
by the downstream duct supply temperature sensor output, which directs the
pack controller to modulate current to the valve's torque motor.

The valve position is controlled by the pneumatic servo pressure generated


by the torque motor. The valve can be locked in the closed position by re-
moving the lock bolt.

Temperature sensors

The air conditioning pack temperature control has five temperature sensors,
which supply data to the AMS controller.

The sensors are:

• Pack inlet temperature sensor,


• Compressor inlet temperature sensor,
• Compressor outlet temperature sensor,
• Condenser inlet temperature sensor and
• Pack outlet temperature sensor.

All of these sensors are dual element sensors (except the pack inlet temper-
ature sensor, which has a single element) in order to improve system relia-
bility. The AMS controller monitors all sensor voltages in order to control
pack operation or determine pack failure.

ECS Off Request

The FADEC may send an ECS OFF signal to the AMS controller, requesting
that no bleed air be extracted from the engine for the air-conditioning sys-
tem. The FADEC sets this signal depending on the TDS input (REF ECS
OFF), pressure altitude, flight phase and engine failure detection.

If the ECS is bleeding air from the engine and the FADEC ECS OFF request
is true and Altitude is below 15 000 ft, both ECS packs will be commanded
OFF. The ECS cooling packs will be shut down at -30 ppm/ sec after receiv-
ing the ECS OFF signal from the FADEC. The APU can be used as a valid
bleed air source when the ECS OFF signal is set to true and Anti-ice is not
required.

In response to the ECS OFF signal the AMS controller has the following re-
quirements:

If the FADEC transitions the ECS OFF signal from true to false, the both
ECS cooling pack FCV’s will be automatically opened without any pilot ac-
tion. The AMS will disregard the FADEC ECS OFF signal if aircraft altitude
is above 15,000 ft.

In general, the AMS controller will use the ECS OFF signal from the in-con-
trol FADEC channel. If the AMS controller loses communication from one
SPDA then AMS controller will use the other SPDA as a backup source of
information for the ECS OFF and channel in control signals.

The time from the ECS OFF signal being received in the AMS controller to
ECS cooling pack FCV’s closing will be less than 5 seconds when com-
manded ON again by the AMS controller.

21-60 Temperature control


Introduction

The temperature control system provides closed loop control for the flight
deck and passenger cabin. The cabin two-zone configuration is an aircraft-
selectable option.

The flight deck and passenger cabin temperatures are electronically control-
led by the AMS controller between 19°C and 30°C. The AMS controller com-
pares the actual temperature provided by the temperature sensors to the
selected temperature. If a difference exists, the AMS controller will adjust the
target duct temperature by modulating the pack bypass valve position until
the selected temperature is achieved. In case of ambient sensor failure, the
system defaults to the duct temperature sensor, and if the selector fails, the
system defaults to a 75°F/ 24°C zone temperature.

Zone Temperature Control

Cabin Zone Temperature Sensor locations.

• Cabin Zone Temperature Sensor also uses ejector to draw ambient

• Ambient air is drawn from space between overhead bins.

Cockpit zone control

The cockpit zone receives airflow from the left air conditioning pack. Condi-
tioned air from the left pack is mixed with the re circulated air from the left re
circulation fan. Cockpit zone control is achieved by changing the left air con-
ditioning pack outlet temperature.

The cockpit temperature control system includes two dual temperature sen-
sors. One sensor is located in the cockpit under the ceiling panel and the
other is in the cockpit zone duct downstream of the mixer duct. Each sensor
contains two independent sensing elements to provide signals for AMS
channels 1 and 2.

Single cabin zone configuration

The passenger cabin receives air from the left and right air conditioning
packs, routed through the mixer duct, where it is blended with re circulated
air from the fans. Air is then routed to the front and aft passenger cabin dis-
tribution ducts. In the single cabin zone configuration, the passenger cabin
temperature is controlled by changing the right air conditioning pack outlet
temperature.

The single configuration includes two dual sensors, one ambient tempera-
ture sensor located in a Duct by the overhead bins, and the other cabin duct
temperature sensor downstream of the mixer.

Cabin Zone Temperature Sensor locations.

Cabin Zone Temperature Sensor uses ejector to draw ambient air across

The two cabin zone configuration

The two cabin zone configuration uses a separate trim system for independ-
ent control of forward and aft cabin zones. for both the forward and aft cabin zone ducts. The AMS controller will then
modulate the right pack bypass valve, via the torque motor command, to
meet the coldest cabin duct target temperature. The trim bypass valve for
Hot air is tapped from the right air conditioning pack for zone temperature the coldest zone will be sent a signal to close. The AMS controller will then
control. modulate the opposite zone trim modulating valve to meet the warmest cab-
in duct target temperature.
The system includes: The trim air system utilizes two trim air modulating valves, two hot air ejec-
tors, and associated ducting to independently control the air temperature en-
tering the forward and aft passenger cabin distribution ducts. This is
• two trim modulating valves, accomplished by mixing hot air from the ejectors directly into the forward and
• two ejectors and aft distribution duct openings within the mixing duct. The amount of hot air
• three dual temperature sensors. flowing to the ejectors is controlled electronically by the AMS controller
through modulation of two trim air modulating valves.
The AMS will compare the actual temperature to the selected temperature
and calculate a target zone temperature for the forward and aft cabin zones.
The controller then modulate the right pack bypass valve to meet the select-
ed coldest cabin zone duct target temperature. The cold zone trim modulat-
ing valve closes. The controller modulates the opposite trim valve to meet
the selected warmest cabin zone duct temperature.

The passenger cabin temperature is selected by the flight crew using the
PAX CABIN selector. The forward and aft passenger cabin zone tempera-
tures can be selected by the flight attendant using CABIN TEMPERATURE
selectors located on the attendant control panels.
The passenger cabin zone requiring the coldest air is controlled by modula-
tion of the right pack bypass valve. The opposite zone (warmest zone) tem-
perature is controlled by modulation of the trim air modulating valve related
to that zone.
Temperature sensors located in the forward and aft cabin zone and in the
forward and aft cabin ducts provide actual temperature via electronic signals
to the AMS controller.
The AMS controller compares the selected zone temperatures to actual
zone temperatures. The difference between the selected temperature and
the actual zone temperature is used to calculate a target duct temperature

30-00 Ice and Rain Protection General


Introduction
The ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION includes these subsystems:

• AIRFOIL
• AIR INTAKES
• PITOT AND STATIC
• WINDOWS, WINDSHIELDS AND DOORS
• WATER LINES
• DETECTION

The ice and rain protection system is used to prevent ice formation on these
parts of the aircraft:

• Wing - The leading edges of the wing slats 2, 3, and 4 are protected
against the formation of ice through the engine bleed air, which
heats their surfaces. Ice protection is not provided for the slat area
inboard of the engine.
• Engine - The engine intake cowls are protected against the forma-
tion of ice through the engine bleed air, which heats the inlet lip.
• Windshields and Doors - The windshields, windows and doors are
electrically heated.
• Pitot and Static - The TAT (Total Air Temperature) sensors and in-
tegrated pitot/static/ AOA (Angle of Attack) sensors are electrically
heated.
• Water lines - The water lines are electrically heated.
• Ice Detector - An ice detector system provides EICAS (Engine In-
dicating and Crew Alerting System) indication of ice accumulation.
The ice detectors are electrically heated.

Slat anti- ice System

The Slat anti-ice system provides wing anti-ice flow and temperature control
to meet all aircraft operating requirements.

The system controls the flow of hot bleed air from the engines to the left and
right wing slat piccolo tubes. The left and right systems are identical. Skin
temperature sensors and a pressure sensor provide signals to the Air Man-
agement System controller for system monitoring, and to modulate the slat
anti-ice valves.

The system interfaces directly with the ice detection system to provide fully
automatic system activation when an icing condition is detected.

Aerodynamic Fence system description

The Emb 190 has an aerodynamic fence installed on the leading edge of the
main wing body and is located span wise at the interface between the Slat
1 and the fixed wing.
The fence ice protection system is a thermal anti-ice system that utilizes hot
bleed air from each engine to provide thermal energy.It protects the fence
external surface, which is exposed to free stream flow, against ice accretion,
in order to preserve its aerodynamic function.Hot engine bleed air is tapped
from a duct downstream of the Wing Anti-Ice Valve (WAIV), routed through
the fixed leading edge “D” bay until the fence location at interface between
the Slat 1 and wing main body.
Once the hot air reaches the fence inlet, it flows internally through a channel
(heated passage) and leaves the fence at the lower side, thus ensuring ap-
propriate heat flux distribution on the fence leading egde.
Since the engine hot air used in the fence ice protections system is tapped
from ducting downstream of the WAIV, the fence is anti iced any time the
Wing Anti-Ice System is activated (ice detector detects ice or manual activa-
tion).

Nacelle Anti-Icing system

The engine anti-ice system supplies hot air from the engine to its inlet cowl
to prevent the hazardous formation of ice on the inlet lipskin.
The EAI system consists of the supply ducting from the 5th stage bleed duct,
an EAI valve (an ON/OFF shut off valve with an integral open position
switch), an EAI line pressure transducer, a dedicated muscle line for the EAI
valve from the starter duct, a swirl nozzle distribution system, and an ex-
haust vent in the inlet “D” duct.The EAI system’s primary control is by the
AMS system.
Signals are provided to the aircraft’s monitoring and maintenance system.
Hot air is extracted from the engine’s high pressure compressor (HPC) at the
low pressure, 5th stage bleed port.The air for the EAI system is tapped from
the 5th stage bleed duct of the air management system (AMS).The EAI port
of the duct is upstream of the AMS check-valve assuring that an air supply
is always available to the EAI system when the engine is running.

Ice Protection Control Panel

The Ice Protection system flight deck interface is provided via the ice protec-
tion control panel.Control switches for engine and air foil anti-ice permit se-
lection of engine anti-ice 1-2 and wing anti-ice ON or OFF.When the switch
is selected OFF the strip bar is shown in the switch, and when selected ON
the switch is dark, according to the dark cockpit philosophy.When actual
anti-ice is operational, an EICAS message is provided for the respective sys-
tem.

Engine or wing anti-ice operation also depends on the position of the Mode
switch.In AUTO position engine and wing anti-ice will be activated by an ice
detector signal.In Override position engine and wing anti-ice will be activated
by a weight off wheel signal.

The test selector switch has three positions: ENG, OFF, WING.During
ground test the switch will activate the respective system if engine and wing
anti-ice is selected ON.

A flight deck interface for selecting windshield anti-ice is also provided on the
ice protection panel.

Switch selection for these systems will connect electrical power to wind-
shield 1-2.

Windshield heating will be operational when the engine is running or the air-
carft is weight off wheels.

30-11 Wing Thermal Anti-Icing System


Introduction

The slat anti-ice system utilizes hot bleed air from the engine to supply ther-
mal energy through the slat anti-ice valve via the telescoping duct to the slat
2,3 and 4 piccolo tubes. Holes in the piccolo tubes cause the hot air to im-
pinge on the inner surface of the slat, creating the heat needed to prevent
ice build-up on the slat. The AMS controller receives signals from the pres-
sure transducers and from the slat skin temperature sensors, to modulate
the slat anti-ice valve.

System automatic operation is activated by the ice detection system, how-


ever in flight the pilot can override the ice detection system and actuate the
slat anti-ice manually. A selector switch is provided on the cockpit control
panel for ground tests.

Wing Anti-Ice Valve

The wing anti-ice valve is located in the pylons, and is a butterfly valve pow-
ered by a pneumatic servo actuator. The wing anti-ice valve is normally in
the closed position and is pneumatically actuated and electronically control-
led. When electrical current is applied to the torque motor, the valve moves
towards the open position. With no electrical current applied to the torque
motor, the valve will remain closed. A position switch mounted on the valve
is used to provide open/closed indication for system monitoring and cockpit
display. The valve contains a manual locking mechanism which can be used
to lock the valve in the closed position for certain dispatch guidelines. The
valve uses a wire mesh cylindrical filter to filter contaminants from the air
supply source. The AMS controller controls the modulation of the WAIV
(Wing Anti- Ice Valve) and increases or decreases torque motor current to
the valve, which causes the valve to open or close. The flow of hot air into
the right and left wing anti-ice ducts is controlled by modulation of the pres-
sure WAIV.

The anti-ice flow is based on altitude, ambient temperature, mach number,


and slat position. The micro switch installed on the valve indicates a closed
position or valve modulation. The signal is also used for BIT purposes.

Wing Anti- Ice Temperature Sensor

The wing anti-ice temperature sensor is a dual-element platinum resistance


temperature sensor which is used to detect the slat skin temperature. Three
sensors are mounted on each wing. During normal operation the middle
sensor on slat 4 is used for calculation of proper anti-icing air flow. They
monitor the skin temperatures at three slat locations:

• Slat #2 outboard
• Slat #4 inboard
• Slat #4 outboard

The temperature sensors are mounted on the rear panel of the wing Slat
cavity and can be accessed by extending the slat. The feedback from the
temperature sensors is used to calculate proper anti-ice airflow require-
ments and for system monitoring.

The remaining two sensors are used for health monitoring to ensure that hot
air covers the entire area where ice protection is required.

Wing anti-ice pressure sensor

A pressure sensor is mounted in the left and right anti-ice duct downstream
of the WAIV, which is used by the AMS controller to determine actual duct
pressures. The wing anti-ice pressure sensor is a 0-100 psia which is used
to monitor duct pressures downstream of the wing anti-ice valve. The sensor
provides an electronic signal to the AMS controller which is used for system
control and monitoring.

The sensor is hermetically sealed and consists of a supply pressure port, an


internal pressure transducer, and an electrical output connector.
With a 28 VDC (Volt Direct Current) excitation voltage, the sensor will pro-
vide an output voltage signal of 0-9 VDC, linear over the 0-100 psia range.

Wing Anti-Ice Telescoping Tubes

The slat anti-ice system contains a telescoping duct on each wing to connect
the piccolo tube with the anti-ice pressure supply duct. The telescoping sec-
tion of the duct is Teflon-coated stainless steel which rides on two bearings.
The telescoping duct extends and retracts with the wing slat and allows un-
interrupted flow during wing slat actuation.

Wing Anti-Ice Piccolo Tubes

The slat anti-ice system contains steel piccolo tubes that run through the
wing slat. Regulated bleed air flows through the telescoping duct and pres-
surizes the piccolo tube. The piccolo tube contains holes that allow hot air to
flow out into the wing's slat chamber for heating the slat skin. The piccolo
tube consists of three separate duct sections. When assembled into the air-
craft, these duct sections are connected in between slats by flexible sleeves
to allow movement.
Bleed air exhausts through the piccolo tube holes and circulates within the
front (nose) cavity. This air then passes through the slat top slots and into
the aft cavity. Finally, the air exits the slat via the air exit holes in the back-
wall of the slats.
In the retracted position, the air exits underneath the fixed wing, as there is
an aerodynamic seal between the slat an fixed leading edge.

Anti-Ice Leak Detectors

The anti-icing leak detectors sensors consist of eutectic salt-filled, continu-


ous coaxial inconel shrouded cable assembles. The ends of the dual-loop
sensors are out fitted with opposite polarity male/female (pin/socket) con-
nectors that are attached to the aircraft wiring through mating connectors.

There are six anti-icing leak detector sensors that belong to ODS (Overheat
Detection System) to sense leak detection and overheat.
The ODS consists of dual-loop anti-icing leak detector sensors installed in
both LH and RH (Right-Hand) wing anti-icing areas.

A overheat condition is indicated only when the two redundant sensors (both
loops) indicate an overheat condition. When the sensors feel 124 ° (255 °F),
an overheat condition occurs and they send a signal to the AMS controller
over ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated) 429 Bus.

mized to meet the overall aircraft requirements. The system interfaces di-
rectly with the primary ice detection system. The ICE PROTECTION control
panel, located on the overhead panel in the cockpit, contains three switches:

• MODE - Allows for manual override of the WTAIS.


• WING - Allows for OFF/AUTO selection of the WTAIS.
• TEST - Allows for initiated built-in test of wing and engine ice protection sys-
tems.

The MODE switch has two positions:

• AUTO position - It enables the AMS to be activated only when icing is de-
tected by the ice detectors. Then, the system starts operating automati-
cally by at least one ice detector when icing condition is detected. This
allows for the conservation of bleed airflow when ice protection is not re-
quired.
• ON position - The WTAIS and EAIS (Engine Anti-Icing System) will be
continuously activated.

The WING pushbutton can be set to OFF or AUTO:

• OFF - Manual override mode. The WTAIS is OFF and the light of the
pushbutton is illuminated (white).
• AUTO - WTAIS is enabled. The WTAIS is activated when an icing condi-
tion is detected by one of the ice detectors. The light of push button is off.
• LEAK - When a leak is detected by the WTAIS, the word LEAK appears
on the pushbutton.

Operation

The flow of hot air into the right and the left wing anti-ice ducts is controlled
by modulation of WAIV pressure. The redundant loops of anti-ice leak detectors are mounted alongside the
slat anti-ice feeder ducting, the WAIV and telescoping tube, thus providing
During normal operation the middle sensor, located on slat 4 inboard is used rapid response to a duct leak. An overheat condition is indicated by the anti-

bleed systems is supplied to the left and right slat anti-ice systems through the overheat condition is monitored by the loop that is still operational (single
the WAIVs. loop operation).

The WAIVs are modulated by the AMS controller to meet a desired temper-
ature as sensed by a middle wing anti-ice temperature sensor. The desired
skin temperature is calculated as a function of slat position, ambient temper-
ature, Mach and altitude. The AMS controller calculates the desired skin
temperature and then uses this value to calculate a duct reference pressure
for both the left and right slat anti-ice ducts. The AMS controller then com-
pares the calculated duct reference pressure to the actual duct pressure
measured by the slat anti-ice pressure sensors. The AMS controller will then
modulate the WAIVs (by increasing or reducing torque motor current) so that
the actual duct pressure is equal to the calculated duct reference pressure.
Ice detectors are directly connected to the MAU, which sends the signals
across the ASCB to the SPDA. The SPDA sends signals to the AMS control-
ler. This allows the AMS controller to automatically activate hot air flow for
wing-ice protection by controlling the WAIV.

A steel anti-ice piccolo tube runs through the wing slat. Regulated bleed air
flows through the telescoping tube and pressurizes the anti-ice piccolo tube.
The piccolo tube contains a series of holes that allow the hot air to flow out
into the wing slat chamber providing the hot air source for heating of the slat
skin. The piccolo tube is made up of three separate duct sections. When as-
sembled into the aircraft these duct sections are connected between slats
by flexible sleeves to allow movement.

Aerodynamic Fence system description

The Emb 190 has an aerodynamic fence installed on the leading edge of the
main wing body and is located span wise at the interface between the Slat
1 and the fixed wing.
The fence ice protection system is a thermal anti-ice system that utilizes hot
bleed air from each engine to provide thermal energy.It protects the fence
external surface, which is exposed to free stream flow, against ice accretion,
in order to preserve its aerodynamic function.Hot engine bleed air is tapped
from a duct downstream of the Wing Anti-Ice Valve (WAIV), routed through
the fixed leading edge “D” bay until the fence location at interface between
the Slat 1 and wing main body.
Once the hot air reaches the fence inlet, it flows internally through a channel
(heated passage) and leaves the fence at the lower side, thus ensuring ap-
propriate heat flux distribution on the fence leading edge.
Since the engine hot air used in the fence ice protection system is tapped
from ducting downstream of the WAIV, the fence is anti iced any time the
Wing Anti-Ice System is activated (ice detector detects ice or manual activa-
tion).

30-20 Engine Anti- ice


Nacelle Anti-Icing system

The engine anti-ice system supplies hot air from the engine to its inlet cowlto
prevent the hazardous formation of ice on the inlet lipskin.
The EAI system consists of the supply ducting from the 5th stage bleed duct,
an EAI valve (an ON/OFF shut off valve with an integral open position
switch), an EAI line pressure transducer, a dedicated muscle line for the EAI
valve from the starter duct, a swirl nozzle distribution system, and an ex-
haust vent in the inlet “D” duct.The EAI system’s primary control iy by the
AMS system.
Signals are provided to the aircraft monitoring and maintenance systems.
Hot air is extracted from the engine’s high pressure compressor (HPC) at the
low pressure., 5th stage bleed port.The air for the EAI system is tapped from
the 5th stage bleed duct of the air management system (AMS).The EAI port
of the duct is upstream of the AMS check-valve assuring that an air supply
is always available to the EAI system when the engine is running.

Nacelle anti icing valve

The EAI valve is an ON/OFF shut-off valve and is located in the system sup-
ply ducting in the fan compartment.The EAI valve controls the bleed airflow
from the AMS supply duct into the anti-ice system.The EAI valve is an elec-
trically controlled, pneumatically operated valve that is spring loaded to the
open position.The valve may be locked in either the open or closed posi-
tion.The aircraft may be dispatched with the valve locked in the open or
closed position in accordance with MEL.
The valve contains an integral valve position switch to indicate when the
valve is in the open position.The switch contacts are closed when the valve
is open.The switch and the solenoid share a single electrical connector.

Anti-Ice Pressure Transducer

The anti-ice pressure transducer is mounted to the aft bulkhead of the inlet
cowl on the compartment side.The transducer is connected to the anti-ice air
supply duct immediately aft of the aft bulkhead.The pressure transducer
monitors the anti-ice system pressure and sends a signal to the MAU to in-
dicate pressure in the anti-ice system downstream of the EAI valve.

Nacelle anti-icing ducts

From the inlet aft bulkhead connection, the anti-ice air continues forward
through a single-walled duct located between the inner and outer barrels of
the inlet cowl.This anti-ice duct spans the space between the aft and forward
inlet bulkheads.
At the inlet forward bulkhead connection, the air passes into the swirl nozzle
mounted inside the “D” duct formed by the inlet lip skin and the forward bulk-
head.The anti-ice air exits the swirler tube and circulates inside the “D” duct
heating the lipskin to prevent hazardous ice formation on the outer surface.
The EAI air circulates around the circumference of the “D” duct after exiting
the swirler tube to the bottom if the inlet where it exits the “D” duct through
six slots in the lipskin.The slots are sized to optimize the swirl system’s per-
formance.
The anti-ice duct system carries the air from the EAI port on the 5th stage
bleed duct in the core compartment to the inlet side of the EAI valve mount-
ed in the fan compartment.A short duct carries the air from the outlet side of
the EAI valve into the anti-ice connection on the inlet cowl’s aft bulkhead.
The anti-ice ducts are single walled except for the duct that passes through
the 9 o’clock strut of the fan frame.This short section is double walled with
the inter-wall cavity vented into the fan compartment.The purpose of this
double walled section is to prevent a burst duct from exposing the fan frame
to high temperature and high pressure air.
The duct inside the core compartment is not insulated but the ducts inside
the fan compartment are covered with insulation blankets.

Swirl nozzle head of the inlet cowl has no panels to permit access to and inspection of

The swirl nozzle is located inside the “D” duct at the 7 o’clock position (clock-
wise, aft-looking-forward).It is attached to the forward bulkhead with four
bolzs and is connected to the supply duct with a sleeve fitting and various
seals.The purpose of the nozzle is to deliver EAI air to the interior of the “D”
duct, which heats the inner surface and prevents ice accumulation on the ex-
terior surface of the lipskin.The nozzle delivers hot air through three elliptical
discharge openings with an effective diameter of 1.14 inches.These open-
ings are sized such that the flow is choked during normal and valve locked
open operation.

Inlet Lip

The inlet lip is made from a single piece of aluminium alloy.It is attached to
the top and bottom of the forward bulkhead.The inlet lip and the forward
bulkhead form the “D” duct.

Overboard Exhaust Vent

The EAI air exits the “D” duct through six slots located at 6 o’clock on the
lipskin close to the intersection between the lip skin and the bulkhead.The
slots are sized to optimize the performance of the swirl system.

Normal Operation

The engine anti-ice system heats the lipskin of the inlet cowl using 5th stage
bleed air to prevent potentially harmful ice accumulation.The primary control
of the EAI system is by an aircraft-mounted AMS controlled automatic ice
detection system.A manual override to the automatic ice detection system is
available to the flight crew.
The system is activated via a solenoid controlled, pneumatically actuated,
ON/OFF shut-off valve (the engine anti-ice valve).The valve may be manu-
ally locked in either the fully open or fully closed position.The valve contains
an integral position switch to indicate when the valve is in the open position.
An EAI pressure transducer is also provided to monitor duct pressure down-
stream of the EAI valve and thus confirm proper operation of the EAI system.
The EAI system for each engine is completely independent of the other en-
gine and EAI bleed cannot be shared between engines.In the case of single
bleed operation (one engine supplies all bleed to aircraft), the AMS control-
ler drives the cross bleed valve open so that pressure to the dedicated mus-
cle lines for both EAI valves is ensured.
The logic used for controlling the EAI valves is shown in Figure .The EAI
valve actuating solenoid must be energized in order to drive the valve
closed.AMS controllers process ice detector signals, cockpit switches in-
puts, altitude, settings in the takeoff data set (TDS) menu and a permissive
from the FADEC in order to determine whether the engine’s EAI solenoid
valve may be energized.The EAI system is normally activated by any of the
ice detectors and manually activate the system by rotating the rotary switch
to the ON position.

30-30 Pitot-Static Ice Protection


Introduction

The Pitot/Static sensor heating system provides electrical power to heat the
Air Data Smart Probe 1,2,3,4 and TAT 1,2 probes to maintain their accuracy.

Self resistive elements are installed in each ADSP and TAT probes.

Heating is controlled by the Air Data Computers which are part of the Air
Data Smart Probes.

Additionally ADC1 controls the heating of TAT1 and ADC4 controls the heat-
ing of TAT2. The ADC monitors the probe current to detect any failures and
actively controls the heater temperature.

Probe heat controlling and monitoring

The integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors are located on the nose of the air-
craft. The integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors 1 and 2 are symmetrically lo-
cated further forward and lower on the nose than the symmetrically located
integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors 3 and 4.
Each of the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors includes resistive heating el-
ements to protect them against ice formation, thus providing a safe opera-
tion of the sensor under icing environments.

The integrated pitot/static/AOA comprises an MFP (Multi-Function Probe)


and an ADC (Air Data Computer).

The MFP utilizes a single heater element to ensure that the probe strut and
head remain ice-free. The ADC monitors the TAT (Total Air Temperature)
and MFP current to detect heater failures and actively controls the heater
temperature.

The probe heat control functionality significantly increases the life of the
MFP by providing the necessary power required to keep the probe free from
ice.

Integrated pitot/Static/AOA Sensor

The integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors are commercially known as air data


smart probes.

The integrated pitot/static/AOAs have a dual channel. They combine pitot,


static, angle of attack, and specific air data computer functions into one LRU
(Line Replaceable Unit). The integrated pitot/static/AOA system consists of
an ADC physically attached to a MFP.

The MFP utilizes a single heating element with redundant heater control cir-
cuitry in the ADC that increases the heater system availability. With the heat-
er element, the MFP ensures that the probe strut remains free from ice
formation.

The ADC monitors the MFP current to detect heater failures and actively
controls the heater temperature. Each channel in the ADC has independent
current sensors to detect heater failure conditions. The life of the MFP is
greatly improved by controlling the heater temperature.

Operation

When the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors are functioning during aircraft • Current monitors have failed
ground operations, minimal heat is required and applied to the probes as op-
posed to conventional probes which will continue to have maximum power • Primary and secondary voltage monitors are out of tolerance
applied. However the MFP is provided with the additional power necessary • Under voltage supply to the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensor
to maintain ice-free operation in cold temperature environments. The heater
control methodology for the integrated pitot/static/AOAs is based on the re-
lationship between the power needed to keep the probe free from ice and
the resistance of the heater (the temperature of the heater is proportional to
the resistance of the heater wire).

The integrated pitot/static/AOA system is commanded ON/OFF by automat-


ic systems based on MAU (Modular Avionics Unit) 1, MAU 3 and SPDA
(Secondary Power Distribution Assembly) 2. After receiving power from the
28 VDC (Volt Direct Current) heater input lines, the integrated pitot/static/
AOAs operates in normal mode. The monitoring and control functions of the
probe determine the amount of power that has to be applied to the MFP.
Each integrated pitot/static/AOA sensor is capable of monitoring and con-
trolling the power applied to its own MFP. To control the temperature of the
integrated pitot/static/AOA sensor, the controlling logic measures the volt-
age supplied to each of the heaters and the current through each of them.

From this information, the power that is being instantaneously dissipated in


the probe is calculated by the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors. The logic
then adjusts the duty cycle, in 10% increments from 10% to 100%, to supply
more or less average power depending on the instantaneous current level.
In normal operation, the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensor does not, at any
time, provide a duty cycle lower than 10%. The power is set to full in flight
condition (airspeed higher than 60 kts). See the block diagram for the func-
tional operation of the heater control during normal operation.

The heater control functions are monitored to detect abnormal operation


during the power-up and continuous BIT (Built-in Test) operations of the in-
tegrated pitot/static/AOA sensors. In general, if an abnormal condition is
identified, the heater control function forces the heater control duty cycle to
100% (full power). The conditions that would result in full power heater to the
integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors are:

Static port heating system

Introduction

The static port heating system permits safe operation in icing conditions.
The static pressure port is installed in the rear left side of the aircraft fuse-
lage. It belongs to cabin pressure relief. The static port heating system per-
mits safe operation in icing conditions.

The static port provides ambient pressure through the sensing orifices and
transmits it to the safety valve through the static port line in order to allow the
over pressure relief work.

The static pressure port is made of nickel-plated brass. It has an inlet screen
that prevents foreign objects from blocking the inlet and an integral heater
that prevents blockage by condensation and ice. The heater is supplied from
the aircraft 28 VDC (Volt Direct Current) essential bus 1.

Operation

The static port is electrically heated in order to prevent an obstruction of the


sensing orifices due to freezing.

The electrical power is provided by DC (Direct Current) bus 1 to the static


port whenever the aircraft is in flight.
The air/ground signal is provided by the main landing gear switches through
totally hard wiring electrical circuit.

TAT sensor heating system

Introduction

The TAT (Total Air Temperature) heating system of the anti-icing system
permits safe operation in icing conditions.

The TAT sensor heating system comprises two TAT sensors located on the
nose of the aircraft. The temperature of the heating element of the TAT sen-
sor is controlled and monitored by the integrated pitot/static/AOA heating
system through the ADC (Air Data Computer).

The ADC monitors the TAT current to detect heater failures and actively con-
trols the heater temperature.
Each channel in the ADC has independent current sensors to detect heater
failure conditions. By controlling the heater temperature, the life of the TAT
sensor is greatly improved.

TAT heater controller

The ADC controller logic measures the voltage supplied to the heaters and
the current to each heaters. The logic then adjusts the duty cycle, in 10% in-
crements from 10% to 100% to supply more or less average power depend-
ing on the current level.

If abnormal condition is identified, such as current monitor failure, voltage


monitor out of tolerance or under voltage, the heater control function will
force the heater to control 100% duty cycle, full power. In auto mode, the air-
craft systems will apply power to the MFP and TAT heater if the aircraft is
airborne or any engine is running.

Operation

Each of the TAT sensors has resistive heater elements to accomplish de - • Current monitors have failed
icing and anti-icing capabilities of the probes for continued sensor accuracy
in icing environments. The ADC monitors the TAT current to detect heater • Primary and secondary voltage monitors are out of tolerance
failures and actively controls the heater temperature. • Under voltage supply to the integrated pitot/static/AOA

The TAT heating system works during aircraft ground operations with mini-
mal heat required and applied to the probes. However, the TAT sensor will
be provided with the additional power necessary to maintain ice-free opera-
tion in cold temperature environments. The heater control methodology for
the TAT sensors is based on the relationship that the power needed to keep
the probe free from ice is proportional to the resistance of the heater (the
temperature of the heater is proportional to the resistance of the heater
wire).
The TAT heating system will be commanded ON/OFF by automatic systems
based on SPDA 1.
After receiving power from the 28 VDC input lines, the TAT sensors will op-
erate in the normal mode. The monitoring and control functions of the probe
determine the amount of power that will be applied to the MFP (Multi-Func-
tion Probe).
The controlling logic measures the voltage supplied to each of the heaters
and the current through each of the heaters. From this information, the pow-
er that is being instantaneously dissipated in the probe is calculated by the
integrated pitot/static/AOA sensors. The logic then adjusts the duty cycle, in
10% increments from 10% to 100%, to supply more or less average power
depending on the instantaneous current level. In normal operation, the inte-
grated pitot/static/AOA sensor will not, at any time, provide a duty cycle low-
er than 10%. The power will be set to full on flight condition (airspeed higher
than 60 kts). See the block diagram for functional operation of the heater
control during normal operation.
The heater control functions are monitored to detect abnormal operation
during the power-up and continuous BIT operations of the integrated pitot/
static/AOA sensors.
In general, if any abnormal condition is identified, the heater control function
will force the heater control duty cycle to 100% (full power). The conditions
that would result in full power heater to the integrated pitot/static/AOA sen-
sors are:

Built-in Test, indication

The continuous BIT is automatically done during every software cycle of 25


ms to check the performance of the integrated pitot/static/AOA sensor. In or-
der to avoid nuisance warnings and false failure indications, a “FAULT AN-
NUNCIATION DELAY COUNT” is used for each BIT test.
The following continuous BITs are performed on the integrated pitot/static/
AOA sensors and TAT sensors.

MFP tests:

• Heater element failed (open)

• Heater element failed (short)

The following continuous BITs are performed for the TAT:

• Heater element failed (open)


• Heater element failed (short)
• Sensing element failed (open)
• Sensing element (short)

Smart Probes and TAT probe heating related failure messages are dis-
played on the EICAS and on the CMC.

The sensor heating related EICAS messages are:


• Caution message ADS x HEAT FAIL, if heater element in the MFP fails.
• Caution message TAT x HEAT FAIL, if TAT heat element failed.
• Status? message ADS x HEAT OFF and TAT x HEAT OFF.
• Caution message ADS x FAIL, if the ADC portion of the ADSP fails.

30-40 Windshield Wiper System

The Windshield Wiper System consists of two mechanically and electrically-


independent subsystems - one for each windshield. The subsystems include
Windshield Wiper Motor Converter, wiper arm, wiper blade, and control
switch.

The motor converter assembly decodes signals from the wiper control
switch and provides power and speed control to the motor. The WWS is op-
erated from the two wiper control switches located in the cockpit. All mainte-
nance of the converters, arms and blades can be accomplished from the
exterior of the airplane.

The Motor Converter

The motor converter, located in the nose section in front of the windshields,
converts the rotary input from the motor into oscillating motion needed to
sweep the blades across the windshield. The WWMC unit convert high-
speed rotary motion of its electric motor to usable low speed and high torque
oscillatory motion of the output shaft.

Power input to the controller is 28VDC from bus 2 and bus 3, while rectifica-
tion input to the motor is 115VAC. When both pilot and co-pilot wiper control
switches are set to the same position, the pilot motor control assembly acts
as a master and will synchronize the blade sweep.

Wiper arm

The windshield wiper arm is attached to the motor converter serrated shaft.
A bolt and washer holds the arm on the shaft. The arms provide the connec-
tion between the motor converter shaft and the wiper blades.

Wiper blade

The windshield wiper blade is attached to the windshield wiper arm by a nut
and bolt. The blades contact and sweep the windshield of the aircraft. The
blade applies a force of 10 +/- 1 lbf on the windshield.

Control panel

The windshield wiper system is operated from the cockpit control panel. The
panel includes two selector switches, and each of the switches has four dif-
ferent positions. In OFF position, the associated wiper blade travels to the
windshield inboard position, parking out of the pilot vision.

When the selector switch is in LOW position, the wiper operates at 80 cycles
per minute. When in HI mode the wiper operates at 125 cycles per minute.
TIMER mode provides an intermittent high speed operation of the associat-
ed windshield wiper in single cycles (two strokes) with a 7 seconds time in-
terval between the cycles.

Windshield Wiper Operation

Operation of the wipers can be independent in low, high speed and timer
mode, or synchronized when both selector switch are selected to the same
position. Synchronization occurs within eight strokes for low and high
speeds, and after one stroke for timer mode.

When the switch is selected OFF, the controller reverses the motor and
moves the blade to the off-screen parked position. In the stationary condi-
tion, the controller will employ an electro-mechanical brake for position hold-
ing.

Dry windshield operation leads the motor converter to a stalled condition due
to high friction. The controller senses the motor converter current surge and
drives the arm directly to the parked position. The system remains inopera-
tive until the selector is set to OFF and a new operation mode is selected.

30-41 Windshield Ice and Rain Protection


General
The windshield is electrically heated and constructed of laminated glass.
The outboard ply is coated with an anti-static film to provide a discharge
mechanism for static build up, which helps to prevent damage to the heating
system.

The windshiled heater is a film located on the inboard surface of the outer
glass ply, which provides anti-ice capability. There are three sensing ele-
ments, two connected to the Windshield Heater Control Unit (WHCU) and
one that is considered auxiliary.

Electrical connections are provided by a terminal block with 8 lugs - two con-
nected to the power supply units, and the other six for the three temperature
sensors.

Windshield Heating System

The windshield heating system consists of: left and right windshields, left
and right control units, left and right switches on the ice protection control
panel, and components of the Left Integrated Control Centre, Right Integrat-
ed Control Centre and SPDA 1.

Each Windshield Heater Control Unit independently regulates the tempera-


ture of a windshield using two sensors and one heater element that are in-
tegrated into the windshield.

One sensor is used for control and the second is an overheat monitor. In ad-
dition to regulating windshield temperature, each Windshield Heater Control
Unit monitors system integrity using continuous and power-up built in test.

Windshield Heating Control Unit (WHCU)

Each WHCU independently regulates the temperature of a single windshield


with the aid of two of the three temperature sensors and the heated element
that are integrated into the windshield, and in addition to controlling the wind-
shield temperature, each WHCU monitors the system integrality with a con-
tinuous bit and a power-up BIT (Built-in Test). The WHCU uses 28 VDC (Volt
Direct Current) power controlled by a switch on the windshield heated panel
on the overhead panel.
The WHCU functions to keep the windshield temperature in the present
range of 33.9 to 36.67 °C (93 to 98 °F).

Each WHCU has six discrete lines to SPDA 1:


• two lines facilitate initiated BIT and fault reset commands, including those
originating from SPDA 1, and those originating from the CMC and sent to

Operation The continuous BIT is used to check:

• both sensors for an open or sorted condition


Initiated BIT is another type of abnormal operation and it occurs whenever • for load current when the heater power is commanded on

WHCUs upon power-up as means of testing its interfaces. The CMC can al- • for the absence of load current when the heater power is command-
sosend a command via SPDA1 to perform initiated BIT. In all cases, SPDA1 ed off
sends an initiated BIT command to the WHCU by momentarily grounding the • the voltage across the control switches to make sure that there are

the drive from the power contactor coil to disconnect the ac bus and power
from the heater. The WHCU is designed to latch detected faults so that ter-
minating the BIT signal does not restore normal operation by itself. Normal
operation is restored when SPDA1 momentarily grounds the normally open
fault reset input to the WHCU.

The power-up BIT is always performed when the WHCU receives a reset
signal. In the normal operation, the WHCU starts by executing its power-up
BIT routine.
After the power-up BIT is completed, the WHCU starts automatically the
ramp warm-up mode to prevent thermal shock to the windshield when the
system starts to run. The ramp warm-up increases in uniform steps during 3
to 4 minutes and when this mode is completed the normal control mode
starts immediately.
In the normal control mode, the WHCU keeps the windshield temperature in
the range of 33.9 to 36.67 °C (93 to 98 °F). When the temperature sent by
the control sensor is below 33.9 °C (93 °F), the WHCU heater is energized
power on, and when the temperature is above 36.67 °C (98 °F), the WHCU
heater is deenergized. In normal condition, no faults are detected and the
WHCU sends the fault code for “normal” to SPDA 1.

30-70 Water System Ice Protection


General
The water lines ice protection system includes fill/ drain nipple heating and
forward and rear drain mast heating. Fill/ drain nipple heating power is 115
VAC and is applied via the left integrated control cabinet contactor from the
AC service bus.

Actual heating is selected ON and OFF, depending on the temperature at


the control thermostat. The heating element is a cuff installed around the fill/
drain nipple. Drain mast heating power of 115 VAC is supplied by the AC
ground service bus through the Water Waste System Controller (WWSC)
and the SPDA. The drain mast contains a safety thermostat and a tempera-
ture sensor for external temperature control. The WWSC temperature con-
trol circuit enables or disables the SPDA to provide power to the drain mast
heater.

Water-tank blanket heater

The water-tank blanket heater provides a thermal insulation to the potable


water tank. It constitutes an extra protection for the water tank, that prevents
the potable water from freezing and a clog at the potable water system. The
water tank blanket heater is attached to the water tank by means of a cord
that pass through the holes in the water tank blanket.

The insulation blankets minimize the heat losses to the surrounding ambi-
ent.
The insulation blankets are wrapped up on top of the electric heaters as well,
thus, providing increased thermal efficiency for the heaters. The water tank
blanket is covered by an insulation finishing attached with adhesive tape.
The potable water tank support is also covered with paper boards to improve
and give more insulation to the low temperature from the aircraft structure
that can freeze the water inside the potable water tank.

Three external electric heated silicone blankets with inbuilt electromechani-


cal thermostats are assembled on the bottom of the potable water tank to
provide heating on the area of contact between the tank and its supporting
cradle and the tank surfaces located closer to the fuselage skin. The heated
blankets require 115VAC electrical power.

The thermostats close on temperature drop below 7.2 °C (45 °F), and open
on temperature rise above 15.6 °C (60 °F).

Water supply line heater

The water supply line heaters are provided to prevent the ice formation at
critical points of the potable water hoses. The hoses are made of a Teflon
inner liner and the outer liner constituted of silicone. The heater is imbedded
in the outer wall of the hose and operates on 115VAC.

The hoses are resistant to repeated freezing and thawing cycles without rup-
ture or permanent damages. To improve the thermal insulation and the heat-
er efficiency, the hoses are fixed on the aircraft structure by aluminium
clamps with an insulating rubber sleeve.

Fill /drain nipple heater

The fill/drain nipple has a self-regulating cuff heater installed on it to prevent


clogging of line and ice formation. The water freezing may occur due to re-
sidual water in the fill line that drains down against the fill nipple cap. The
heater is an electro-thermal device made of a silicone elastomer and oper-
ates on 115 VAC, single phase at 40 W. A self-regulating, snap-acting ther-
mostat within the heater maintains the temperature above 38 °C (100.4 °F).
The silicone material of heater has self-extinguishing properties that do not
let the heater burn in case of malfunction.

The Drain Mast

The drain mast is made of fiberglass epoxy and corrosion resistant steel.
The drain mast contains a heater with overheat protection, a safety thermo-
stat, and a thermistor temperature sensor for external temperature regula-
tion. The Water Waste System Controller temperature control circuit selects
heating ON/OFF to maintain the drain mast temperature of 71 °C/160 °F at
the sensor.

A safety thermostat is included in the mast to protect against draining


through the forward drain valve in case of a drain mast heater failure. The
safety thermostat is set to open, drain valve closed, when the drain mast
temperature falls below 5 °C/41 °F.

VWS Rinse Nipple Heater

The VWS rinse nipple heater is a flat panel heater installed between the
waste service panel and the VWS rinse nipple. The heater prevents waste
fluid from freezing in the rinse line. The heater is made of a resistive material
(electro-thermal silicone elastomer) and operates on 115 VAC single phase,
at 21 W. In case of failure or malfunction, a circuit breaker protects the VWS
service-panel drain-valve heater.
The heater has a thermostat that maintains the temperature in a safe range
for incidental touch in the exposed areas.
For the VWS service-panel drain-valve, there is a heater installed between
the waste service panel and the drain-valve.
The heater is an electro-thermal resistive device made of a silicone elas-
tomer and operates on 115 VAC at a temperature of 60 °C (33.8 °F), that is
considered safe for an incidental touch of the drain-valve. In case of failure
or malfunction of the heater, a circuit breaker interrupts the power supply to
the heater.
For the VWS rinse nipple, there is a heater installed between the waste serv-
ice panel and the rinse nipple. The heater is an electro thermal resistive de-
vice made of a silicone elastomer and operates on 115 VAC at a
temperature range from 13 to 18 °C (55 to 65 °F), controlled by a thermo-
stats. In case of failure or malfunction, a circuit breaker protects the VWS
rinse nipple heater.

Operation

The potable water heating system is comprised of heaters installed on criti-


cal points that are susceptible and sensitive to temperature variations. The
major function of the heaters is to ensure that the temperature does not
reach a range to clog the hoses due to freeze and ice formation. Each com-
ponent has its specifical range of temperature and protective mechanisms
to prevent electrical overload, burns and malfunction.

Both drain masts are controlled by the WWSC (Water and Waste System
Controller). The drain mast heating is switched on if the temperature sensor
in the drain mast signals low temperature and switched off if the temperature
is high.

The fill/drain nipple heater contains an internal thermostat for temperature


control and long reliability. The heaters primary function is to prevent the
freezing of water in the area of the fill/drain nipple. This allows immediate fill-
ing/draining of the potable water system after a flight or after long periods of
storage in extremely cold temperatures.

The aircraft monitors a sensor mounted in the copper base of the drain mast
and maintains the temperature of the sensor at 71 +/- 4 °C (160 +/- 7 °F).
When the surface temperature of the copper bas of the Heated Drain Mast
falls below 5 °C (41 +/- 5 °F), a safety signal thermostat opens to annunciate
the temperature drop as a fault.

In the event of power controller failure, a thermal cut-off fuse opens when
the temperature of the copper base of the Heated Mast drain reaches 184
+/- 5 °C (363 +/- 7.2 °F) to protect against overheat.

The fill/drain nipple heater is a 115 VAC 400 Hz single powered and control-
led by an internal heater element and thermostat. Power consumption is 40
VA. The internal thermostat opens at 49 °C (120 °F) and closes at 32 °C (90
°F). This creates an on-off cycle for added reliability and component longev-
ity.

The Water Waste System

The Water Waste System Controller is able to monitor system and compo-
nent failures, and addresses messages to the CMC or to the flight attendant
panel.

The flight attendant WATER SYSTEM fault LED indicator is ON, if the indi-
cated temperature of the forward drain mast is continuously less than 35 °C
for 5 minutes, or if the indicated temperature of either drain mast is continu-
ously greater than 70 °C for 2 minutes. CMC provides two kinds of messag-
es: FWD DRAIN MAST FAULT or AFT DRAIN MAST FAULT. Both failures
will inhibit the in-flight drain system.

30-80 Ice Detection


General
The Ice Detection System includes two ice detectors, directly connected to
the Modular Avionic Units, that send signals across the Avionic Standard
Communication Bus to the Air Management Controller located in the Sec-
ondary Power Distribution Assembly. The AMS has two channels to provide
Ice Detection System monitoring and control.

The Ice Detection System provides test capability by the overhead ice pro-
tection panel test switch, and failure messages for CMC or EICAS display.

The Ice Detector

The Ice Detector is a single component including a sensor and micro con-
troller in one unit. The sensor includes a driver, which is vibrated at a
40,000hz frequency by the oscillator, and a feedback sensor to monitor this
frequency. A heater element is also installed in the sensor section. The mi-
cro controller interconnects with the aircraft harness.

Input to the micro controller includes 115VAC power, Press-To-Test, and re-
set. Outputs are ice signal and sensor fault.

Ice Detection System Operation

The Ice Detection System operates if, on the overhead ice protection panel,
the MODE switch is on AUTO.

If ice builds up on the ice detectors, as sensed by the feedback sensor as a


probe frequency change, then the micro controller sends an Ice signal to the
Modular Avionics Unit, which transmits an ICE CONDITION signal to the EI-
CAS. At the same time, the air foil and engine intake anti-ice cycle starts,
and the ice detector probe will be heated for a few seconds to melt the ice
from the probe. Anti-icing is continuously in operation as long as ice is de-
tected on the ice detectors.

If the MODE switch is selected to OVERRIDE, the Ice Detection System is


disabled, and air foil and intake will be continuously anti-iced in flight.

Failure Messages

The system provides failure messages on the CMC and on the EICAS dis-
play. The EICAS advisory message ICE CONDITION indicates that the left
or right ice detector has detected icing condition in flight. This message is
inhibited below 1700 ft above airfield.

The EICAS caution message ICE DETECTOR 1/2 FAIL indicates ice detec-
tor failure. If one ice detector fails the aircraft can be dispatched into icing
conditions. If the second ice detector also fails, the aircraft cannot be dis-
patched into known icing conditions.

Fire Protection System

The power plant Fire Protection System is designed and installed to provide
proper engine fire containment, fire and overheat detection and fire extin-
guishing to protect the fire zones, as well as providing shutoff means to stop
falmmable fluids (fuel and hydraulic fluids) flowing into fire zones.It also in-
cludes the Engine Fire Protection Control and Indication system in the cock-
pit.

Fire Zone Definition

The CF34-10E propulsion system comprises of four compartments, Inlet,


Fan, Thrust Reverser, and Engine Core Compartment.The compartments
are segmented into zones to provide separation and isolation of flammable
fluids from ignition sources and to prevent the spread of fire.

The following are the applicable Zone classification for the CF34-10E pro-
pulsion system:

1. The Inlet Compartment is classified as an Other Zone, due to the fact that
there is no flammable fluid line and component in this compartment.
2. The Fan Compartment is classified as a Fire Zone per FAR 25.1181, due
to the fact that this compartment contains the engine accessory section,
Nacelle Anti Icing (NAI) line, and most of the flammable fluid lines such
as fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids.
3. The Thrust Reverser Compartment is classified as a Flammable Fluid
Leakage Zone instead of Fire Zone, due to the existence of Flammable
Fluid Lines and Electrical Wire may become flammable fluid leak source
and ignition source respectively during failure condition.
4. The Engine Core Compartment is also classified as a Fire Zone per FAR
25.1181, containing the compressor, combustor, turbine, lines or compo-
nents carrying flammable fluids.

Fire Zone Boundary

Fire containment within the fire zone is achieved by fireproof boundaries.

Other protection to prevent “break out” of fire from the fire zone includes the
following:

1. Fire seals are provided at the interface channel to the pylon and at any
removable firewall to their interface.Lines that pass from the firezone to
outer locations have bulkhead fittings or are provided with tight, compliant
rubber seals of thickness and mounting that have been proven to be fire-
proof by testing.
2. Air and fluid lines that pass through the firezone boundaries are made of
steel.
3. Air vents are designed not to enlarge if hot gas or flame passes through
them.

Ventilation Airflow Description

The ventilation through the fire zone is provided from the ram recovery air
and Fan bypass air for the Fan Compartment and Engine Core Compart-
ment respectively.

Fan Compartment

The fan compartment consists of the space between the engine fan case
and the outer cowl, which is enclosed by the inlet aft bulkhead and the thrust
reverser bulkhead.The net volume of the fan compartment is 49.5 cu ft.The
Maximum Ventilation flow rate at the max speed of the aircraft that can sus-
tain with One Engine Inoperative (OEI) at Windmilling condition is deter-
mined to be 0.73 pps.
There are two separate provisions for ambient air to enter the Fan compart-
ment in order to facilitate adequate cooling through proper installation of the
internal equipment.They are: Two Upper flash inlets at the Inlet barrel LH
and RH side at approximately 11 o’clock and 01 o’clock position, respective-
ly.

The FADEC has a dedicated cooling system and will not interfere with the
nacelle cooling system.

The fan compartment has one means for the air to exit back to the free
stream, under normal operating conditions.This exit is the louvered exhaust
vent located at the aft lower fan cowl.

Engine Core Compartment

The Engine Core Compartment consists of the space between the engine
case and the engine core cowl, which is enclosed by the inner support ring
core cowl.
The cooling air will be provided by five holes in the cowl support ring.All five
holes are located outside of the upper 90 degrees quadrant to enhance fire
safety.Three holes of 0.73’’ diameter are installed on the same side as the
airframe ECS systems and two holes (one hole of 0.73’’ diameter, and one
hole of 0.83’’ diameter) on the other side.This arrangement induces a venti-
lating airflow from the front to the back of the compartment.This arrange-
ment induces a ventilating airflow from the front to the back of the
compartment.Cooling and ventilation air is exhausted at the aft end of the
compartment through the annulus formed by the engine primary nozzle and
the core cowls.Air is prohibited from exhausting through the upper 90° quad-
rants by the turkey feather seal between primary nozzle and pylon.
The net Volume of Engine Core Compartment is approximately 28.2 cu ft.
The Maximum Ventilation flow rate at the max speed that the aircraft can
sustain with One Engine Inoperative (OEI) at Windmilling condition was de-
termined to be 0.65 pps.

Engine and Nacelle Drain System

The drain system provides a “pathway” to discharge waste fluids from the
engine, nacelle cavities, and accessories.
The Engine Drain system removes normal flammable fluid leakage from the
Engine related systems, whilst the Nacelle Drain system provides drainage
following a failure condition of any flammable fluid line or component leak-
age failure inside either fire zone.

Engine Drain System

Waste fluids are captured in tubing designed to collect the fluid and dis-
charge the fluid overboard through drain masts that are located at the lowest
point in the system.
The system relies on gravity to transport the waste fluids from to the drain
mast.

Two drain masts are used to expel the drained fluids from the engine core
compartment and Fan compartments.The masts are offset to help identify
the origin of the fluid.The forward mast contains the accessory gearbox com-
ponent and pad drains as well as the oil scupper and pylon drains.The aft
mast contains the fuel drains from the core mounted components and the
core pylon.The masts extend beyond the boundary layer of the fan cowl in
order to prevent nacelle streaking with drained fluids.A drip lip is incorporat-
ed into the drain mast to prevent the drained fluids from running back on the
mast itself.

26-11 Engine Fire and Overheat Detection


System
Introduction

The engine fire detection system comprises four assemblies of fire detec-
tors, two assemblies of fire detectors installed in the Fan compartment and
another two assemblies of fire detectors installed in the core compart-
ment.Each fire detector assembly consists of two pneumatic fire detectors
designated as loop A and loop B.
The fire detectors are electrically connected in two loops, A and B, with 4 de-
tectors for each loop, to the MAU that processes the electrical signal and
provides related messages to the EICAS and the CMC.Both DC and DC es-
sential power supplies provide electric powers to the associated MAU for en-
gine fire detection systems.

Engine fire/overheat detection system

The fire detector installation configuration has been determined for prompt
detection of any fire or overheat even in the fire zone.Two sets of dual loop
fire detectors (801-DRL model) have been designated for the Fan compart-
ment.Another two sets of dual loop Fire detectors (801-DRL model) have
been designated for the engine core compartment.

1) Right Hand Fan Fire detector, Rail Mounted, Meggit 801-DRL


Type, routed from the Oil Tank area to the Vent Exit area at the
lower Fan Case.
2) Left Hand fire detector, Rail Mounted, Meggit 801-DRL Type,
mounted on the Accessories Gear Box case.
3) Core Upper Case fire detector, Rail Mounted, Meggit 801-DRL
Type, mounted on the HPT rear flange of the engine case.
4) Core Lower Case fire detector, Rail Mounted, Meggit 801-DRL
Type, mounted on the HPT rear flange of the engine case.

Opening the Fan Cowl will provide the full access to the RH Fan and LH Fan
fire detector loops.While opening the Engine Core Cowl will provide access
to the upper case and lower case fire detector loops in the engine core com-
partments.

Each rail is provided with loop identification on each end of the rail to avoid
harnesses misconnection.

The fire detector assemblies are mounted on 1/2 inch diameter support tube
with welved metal sensor clamps.The welved metal sensor clamp is
equipped with PTFE bushing liner supporting the sensing element.

The electrical harnesses of each engine 1 and 2 and for each loop A and B
will be segregated inside the fuselage area and connected independently to
the MAU, to provide system redundancy.

The fire detector pneumatic sensor

The fire detector pneumatic sensor element is a stainless steel capillary tube
with a continuous length.This thermal sensing pneumatic element has a
center core in its full length that is wound in an inert metallic material (mo-
lybdenum ribbon) and charged with an active gas.

The centre core has intrinsic sponge-like and desorption properties in re-
sponse to temperature thresholds.This provides discrete sensing capabili-
ties through the inactive Helium gas in the void area around the centre core.

Through a ceramic isolator, the sensor element is permanently mated to the


responder assembly.Thus, the sensor capillary tube is fully electrically iso-
lated from the responder assembly.
Figure 6: Fire detector pneumatic sensor

Stainless steel capillary tube

Responder assembly Ceramic isolator Sensor element

Issue: Sept06 FOR TRAINING ONLY - Reproduction Prohibited Chapter 26-11 Page 10

Engine Fire Detector

The responder assembly has two pressure-sensitive switches insulated in


ceramic, an electrical connector assembly and a housing assembly.

The alarm pressure switch is normally open.It moves over the centre when
the pressure force against the diaphragm reaches a set value, which hap-
pens at a certain temperature.With the diaphragm against the centre con-
tact pin, an electric signal is provided to the control module.

When the pressure against the diaphragm decreases below the activation
force, the diaphragm moves back over the centre away from the stationary
contact pin and opens the electrical path.The integrity pressure switch oper-
ates when the pressure sensor is below the minimum normal range.It push-
es the diaphragm against the centre contact pin, providing an electrical
signal to the MAU.

The housing assembly has a protective shell with all responder assembly
components inside.It has an electrical connector on one end and the sensor
element on the other.

Fire Detection Loops

When a fire detector senses fire, it will short circuit, and the MAU will identify
that this loop has detected fire.The fire detectors are a dual-loop configura-
tion, which means that each detector of loop A has a correspondent detector
of loop B protecting the same area.

In normal operation, the fire alarm will be provided in the cockpit only when
both loops detect fire.

In case of fire there will be:

• a “E1/E2 FIRE” warning message on the EICAS,


• a Fire inscription on the ITT icon,
• an aural warning in the cockpit,
• the master warning lights will flash,
• and a red light in the fire handle assigned to the engine that has fire,
will illuminate.

If the master warning button is then pushed, the master warning light goes
off and the aural warning is cancelled, but the applicable engine fire mes-
sage stays on.The fire alarm remains ON until the fire is extinguished.

Fire Protection System Operation

NORMAL OPERATION:
• In normal operation (both loops operational) the system will use AND log-
ic, what means that the fire alarm will be provided in the cockpit alerting
flight crew only when both loops detect fire.The fire alarm remains ON un-
til the fire is extinguished.
• In case of just one loop detect the fire (considering both loops good), after
ten (10) seconds, the MAU will consider this loop failed and shall not dis-
play the fire alarm.Therefore in case of dormant failure (not recognized
by MAU) of one loop, even through the second one provides the fire sig-
nal the fire alarm will not be provided to the crew.

ONE LOOP FAILED OPERATION:


• In case of a failure of one or more fire detectors of the same loop be-
comes recognized by the MAU, the MAU will accomodate the failure, by
ignoring the respective entire loop and by considering only the good
loop.Therefore the system continues to work properly, and the fire alarm
remains available in the cockpit, should the operative loop detects a
fire.Such recognized failure is not annunciated to the crew but only a
CMC fault message will be recorded.
• A failure of the MAU and/or its power (essential bus or related harness)
will also cause a loss of the loop processed by this MAU.The MAU and
power failures are annunciated.

BOTH LOOPS FAILED:


• When both loops or associated wiring of an engine are failed, it will be an-
nunciated to the crew through the “ENG1(2) FIRE DET FAIL” EICAS cau-
tion message.
A failure on the CAS (Misleading display of CAS messages) will make the
fire alarm unavailable to the crew.The CAS failure is considered annunciat-
ed, since it is evident to the crew.

26-12 Apu fire - overheat detection system


Introduction

The APU tail cone has two compartments - the APU compartment and the
silencer compartment.

Only the APU compartment is a designated fire zone.

The APU Fire/Overheat Detection Subsystem uses two pneumatic fire de-
tectors to detect a fire or overheat condition in the APU compartment. The
fire detectors are similar to the engine fire detector in design and function.

The fire detectors are connected to MAU 1 and 3, which supply indications
to the EICAS and CMC.

The APU fire detection system

The APU fire detection system receives electrical power from the Essential
DC Busses via the MAUs.

There are two loops with one detector each, protecting the same area. Loop
A is connected to MAU 1 and loop B is connected to MAU 3. If both loops
detect a fire condition during normal operation, then the MAUs will generate
an “APU FIRE” warning message in the cockpit, and the upper half of the
APU Emergency Stop button will be illuminated in red. When pressed, this
button will shut down the APU immediately, the red illumination will turn
OFF, illuminating the lower part of this switch in white, and the APU fire ex-
tinguisher switch will illuminate.

Note that the fire alarm remains ON until the fire is extinguished.

APU fire

If, in the event of fire, one minute has passed without the MAU receiving a
positive indication that the APU Emergency Stop Switch was pressed, the
APU fire extinguish switch will illuminate.

If there is an APU fire on ground, the APU will shut down automatically after
ten seconds if there is no commanded shutdown through the APU Emergen-
cy Stop Switch.

The fire detectors will be continuously monitored. When both loops are
failed, an "APU FIRE DET FAIL" message will be displayed on the EICAS.
If only one loop is inoperative, a fault message identifying the failed detector
will be shown on the CMC.

In case of a fire detector loop failure, this loop will not be considered by the
MAU, and the fire alarm will be provided in the cockpit when the operative
loop detects fire.

26-14 Lavatory Fire Detection System


Introduction

The lavatory smoke detection system detects smoke in the lavatories and
warns the crew.

The system consists of:

• A smoke detector mounted on the forward and aft lavatory ceiling


panel,
• lavatory smoke test switches on the forward flight attendant panel,
and
• circuit breakers installed in the cockpit for the FWD lavatory smoke
detection system and in the Centre-E-Bay for the aft lavatory
smoke detection system.

The lavatory smoke detection system is provided with the following indica-
tions:

• CAS messages,
• aural indication through a smoke detector built-in chime,
• visual indication through the smoke detector and the FWD and AFT
attendant light indicator panels installed on the FWD LH entrance
ceiling panel and AFT main ceiling panel, and
• CMC fault reporting.

The smoke detector function

The smoke sensor installed on the lavatory ceiling uses the ionization prin-
ciple.

The sensor has a small quantity of radioactivity, which ionizes the air inside
an electric field between electrodes P1 and P2.

When small particles of smoke go into the smoke detector, the ionized air
molecules attach to these particles, increasing the ionized particle mass.
This decreases the velocity of the ionized particles and therefore the ioniza-
tion current.

As the current decreases and the applied voltage is constant, the electrical
resistance between the two poles of the electrical field increases. This small
variation of the electrical resistance in the ionization chamber of the sensor
is then used to produce a warning signal.

Note that the sensor is less sensitive to cigarette smoke than to other smoke
sources.

Lavatory smoke detector

Sampling of smoke begins immediately after the power is applied from the
Essential DC BUS 1 or 2, and is indicated by a green power indicator.

When the smoke ion density reaches the threshold, the outputs, alarm horn
and red indicator turn on.

There is also an interrupt switch to reset the horn and outputs and return to
normal sampling when the smoke has cleared.

The Attendant Light Indicator Panels indicate smoke in the lavatory by a


flashing amber light, the same one used to indicate a Lavatory to Flight At-
tendant call.

The FWD Attendant Light Indicator Panel indicates FWD Lavatory smoke
and the Aft Attendant Light Indicator Panel indicates Aft Lavatory smoke. On
the FWD FLT Attendant Panel there are two Lavatory Smoke Detection Sys-
tem test switches, one for the forward and one for the aft lavatory.

Lavatory smoke

When smoke is detected in any lavatory, the following sequence is initiated:

• An alarm will sound inside the lavatory where smoke has been de-
tected. The chime is mounted into the lavatory smoke detector as-
sembly and is audible from anywhere in the cabin.
• The flashing amber light on the Attendant Light Indicator Panel will
be activated, giving the cabin crew visual indication of the detection
of smoke from anywhere in the passenger compartment. The FWD
Attendant Light Indicator Panel indicates FWD Lavatory smoke and
the Aft Attendant Light Indicator Panel indicates Aft Lavatory
smoke.
• Via MAU 1 from the forward or via MAU3 from the aft lavatory a
CAS warning message “LAV SMOKE” in conjunction with the Mas-
ter Warning indication will illuminate in the Cockpit.

26-15 Cargo Compartment Smoke


Detection System
System Description

The cargo compartment smoke detection sub-subsystem has seven smoke


detectors that perform continuous cargo compartment smoke detection
monitoring.

Smoke detectors F1, F2, F3 and F4 are in the forward cargo compartment,
in zones 125.
Smoke detectors A1, A2 and A3 are in the aft cargo compartment, in zones
151.

If smoke is detected, the smoke detector sends an alarm signal to the appli-
cable MAU (Modular Avionics Unit) for processing.The MAU sends an arm
command to the FIRE EXTINGUISHER control panel, which illuminates,and
alerts the flight crew via MASTER WARNING, audible alarm and CAS (Crew
Alerting System) message.
The smoke detectors receive input power from dedicated CB (Circuit Break-
er)s on the 28 VDC (Volt Direct Current) ESS (Essential) buses.
Smoke detectors F1 and F2 are supplied 28 VDC through ESS Bus 1.
Smoke detectors F3, F4 and A2 are supplied 28 VDC through ESS Bus
2.Smoke detectors A1 and A3 are supplied 28 VDC through ESS Bus 3.

Photoelectric smoke detectors

The smoke detectors are individual units that mount in ceiling pans attached
to the cargo compartment ceiling liner.

The detectors are photoelectric fan-type devices.In addition to being trig-


gered by smoke, they will be set off by high temperatures, in case there is a
fire without sufficient smoke to trigger a smoke detector.They are designated
as smoke detectors F1, F2, F3 and F4 in the forward cargo compartment
and smoke detectors A1, A2 and A3 in the rear cargo bay.The two systems
work independently.

If the forward detectors sense smoke, they issue an alarm condition to the
MAU 1; the rear detectors to the MAU 3.

Maintenance LED

The smoke detectors incorporate a maintenance LED.

This LED will illuminate if:

• the labyrinth is moderately dirty,


• the smoke detector fan does not operate correctly,
• the infrared emittor source (LED) becomes weak, as a function of
the Built-In-Test (BIT) or,
• if the detector has been triggered

The rear cargo compartment

In the rear cargo compartment, smoke must be detected by two independent


smoke detector channels for an alarm to be reported to the flight deck.

Within one minute of the onset of smoke generation, if two smoke detector
channels detect the presence of smoke, independent alarm signals will be
relayed to the MAU.

An alarm signal will be provided to the flight deck by the MAU.

Indications include:

• an audible alarm,
• master warning lights flashing
• the aft cargo compartment fire extinguishing push button illuminat-
ing and
• “CARGO AFT SMOKE” and “CRG FIREX HI ARMED” messages
on the EICAS.

The FWD cargo compartment

The forward cargo compartment smoke detection system has a different


configuration, since it is equipped with ana ir circulation fan and ventilation
outflow valve.

If only a single detector goes into alarm, fan operation is terminated, and the
ventilation outflow valve is closed by the appropriate SPDA prior to the
“CARGO FWD SMOKE” condition being communicated to the flight deck.

The shutdown sequence starts in the forward cargo compartment without


any cockpit annunciation activated.The air circulation fan is shut down for 45
seconds and the remaining smoke detectors are monitored for an alarm con-
dition.A built-In-test is performed on the smoke detectors at the end of the
45 seconds fan off/valve closed period.Successful completion of the built-in-
test, and absence of an alarm condition will result in the alarm being treated
as a fault.

Only if another detector goes into alarm within the 45 seconds is a “CARGO
FWD SMOKE” annunciated in the cockpit.

Smoke Detectors built in test (BIT)

The smoke detectors are continuously monitored by Built-In-Test.

In case of a smoke detector failure, the related MAU shows the detector as
failed and ignores its input.

If only one smoke detector is available in one compartment, the MAU will au-
tomatically report a “CARGO FWD/AFT SMOKE” when one smoke detector
reports a fire alarm, information from the Bulit-in-test will be reported to the
CMC.

When the aircraft is on ground and a faulty smoke detector is realized, a


“CRG SMOKE DET FAULT” will be indicated on the EICAS.

In the event that all smoke detectors in one cargo compartment have failed,
a “CRG FWD/AFT FIRE SYS FAIL” message will illuminate on the EICAS.In
this case the compartment might not be used.

Cargo fire detection system operation

Smoke detection in the cargo compartment must occur in two independent


smoke detector channels for an alarm to be reported to the flight deck by the
MAU, which triggers the cargo fire annunciations.

The annunciations consist of: illumination of the red MASTER WARNING


alarm light, red illumination of the cockpit fire extinguisher panel indicator,
which will identify the affected cargo compartment, activation of aural warn-
ing chimes, and display of the appropriate red message on the EICAS (En-
gine Indicating and Crew Alerting System), indicating a cargo fire condition
in the affected compartment (FWD (Forward) or AFT).

There are two operating modes for the smoke detection subsystem, dual-
loop and single loop mode.

In normal operation, the system continuously monitors each compartment


for fire and smoke using dual loop detection.The dual-loop mode requires
any two functioning smoke detectors in a single compartment to report an
alarm prior to annunciating a fire condition to the flight deck.Once a single
detector goes into alarm, is necessary an alarm for a second detector within
45 seconds, so that the cargo fire condition is confirmed, and the appropriate
CAS message is displayed - CRG FWD SMOKE or CRG AFT SMOKE.
In the absence of a second detection, a BIT (Buit-in Test) is performed on
the smoke detectors.Successful completion of the BIT and absence of an
alarm condition from a second detector will result in the first detector that re-
ported the initial alarm being treated as faulty.
The single-loop mode requires any one functioning smoke detector in a
compartment to report an alarm prior to annunciating a fire condition to the
flight deck.The switch between dual-loop and single-loop mode is performed
automatically by the aircraft avionics, when the forward or aft cargo compart-
ment has only one smoke detector functional.

The two operating modes architecture (single and dual-loop) are used to
maximize the ability of the aircraft to dispatch and to minimize false alarms
due to faulted or contaminated smoke detectors.

26-21 Engine Fire Extinguishing


introduction

The engine fire extinguishing system provides means, to prevent flammable


fluids, fuel and hydraulic, from flowing into the engine designated fire zone,
as well as a means for extinguishing fire in the engine designated fire zone.

2 Fire extinguisher bottles A and B are installed in the R/H rear wing-to-fu-
selage fairing. The bottles are interconnected through double check tee
valves. This permits a dual-shot function for one engine through the dis-
charge tubing and nozzles.

Firing of the bottles can only be controlled by cockpit command through the
fire handles.

Engine Fire Extinguishing System

The dual outlet fire extinguishing bottles contain HALON 1301 as the fire ex-
tinguishing agent at a quantity of 6.30 + 0.1/-0 lbs. pressurized to 800+25/-0
psig with nitrogen gas at 21°C.The operating temperature range is from -65
to +85 °C.They are installed in the wing to fuselage fairing with an access
door provided.

In case of bottle overpressure a relief valve provided on the bottle will open
allowing the fire extinguisher agent to flow to the ventilated compartment
(wing to fuselage fairing).A protective cap made of Aluminium alloy 2024-T4
is provided onto the relief valve outlet to avoid any damage to structures or
other component caused by discharged fire extinguisher agent.

There are two 0.23 inches (5.88 mm) diameter discharged holes at 180 de-
gree spaced at the protective cap to keep the pressure relief discharge port
available by avoiding ice or dirt blockage.

The two fire extinguisher bottles are cross-connected using double check-
Tee valve.

This T-check valve allows two fire extinguisher shots to each engine when
required from the two fire extinguisher bottles, and avoiding cross flow from
bottle to bottle.
Aluminium pipe is connected from the double check-Tee valve outlet to the
forward pylon and equipped with flexible couplings allowing relative move-
ment.In four different areas where the lowest point routing could not be
avoided, a drain valve was provided to eliminate any ice build up due to the
water condensation and subsequent extreme cold weather conditions.From
the forward-pylon to pylon-firewall the fire extinguisher tube is constructed
of Stainless Steel.Halon 1301 is a non-corrosive liquefied gas that does not
chemically react to metal including aluminium and Stainless steel.
A three branch fire extinguishing nozzles (with optional extension pipe) con-
nected to the distribution line interface at the pylon will be in both firezones;
Fan compartment and Engine Core Compartment.All nozzles and tubing in-
side engine nacelle constructed of Stainless Steel, which is fireproof and
corrosion resistant.

The engine fire handles

Two engine fire handles are installed on the overhead panel.They are re-
cessed into the overhead panel to avoid inadvertent movement of the fire
handles.

Each Fire handle is related to one engine, and controls:

• the fuel,
• hydraulic,
• bleed air, and
• the operation of the 2 fire extinguishing bottles.

In case of an engine fire, the fire handle will illuminate in red.

The fire extinguishing bottle pressure, power supply, cartridge integrity and
related harnesses are continuously monitored, and in case of a failure, an
“E1 FIREX BTL A/B FAIL or E2 FIREX BTL A/B FAIL” message will be indi-
cated on the EICAS.

A normally open Temperature Compensated Pressure Switch (TCPS)


mounted on the fire extinguishing bottle monitors the bottle pressure.If the
pressure falls below a set value, the switch closes and the MAU provides a
message to the EICAS.

26-22 APU Fire Extinguishing system


Introduction

The APU Fire Extinguishing Subsystem is used to discharge one fire extin-
guishing bottle, which is installed in the rear fuselage, into the APU fire com-
partment.

The HALON 1301 or Bromotrifluoromethane fire extinguisher agent is driven


from the bottle to the fire zone by distribution pipes.

The fire extinguishing bottle discharge is controlled by command from the


cockpit. The fire extinguishing bottle pressure, power supply, cartridge integ-
rity and related harnesses are continuously monitored. In case of a failure,
a fault message will illuminate on the EICAS and on the CMC.

The APU fire extinguisher bottle

The APU fire extinguisher bottle is the same type as the engine fire extin-
guisher bottles. It contains 3.98 lbs HALON 1301 fire extinguishing agent
pressurized to 800 psig with nitrogen gas at 70°C.

The bottle is installed in the rear fuselage and the agent is driven from the
bottle to the fire zone by aluminium distribution pipes.

In case of bottle over pressure, a relief valve on the bottle will open. A pro-
tective cap is provided to the relief valve outlet in such a way that the dis-
charge direction will not damage the structure or other components.

When the APU fire extinguishing switch is pressed, an electrical current is


provided to the cartridge, causing its detonation. This explosion breaks the
rupture disc and allows the gas to flow into the pipe. The rupture disc also
works as a secondary relief valve in case the primary valve fails.

The APU control panel

When the guarded APU Emergency Stop Switch is pressed, the APU fuel
shut off valve will be commanded to close and the APU will be shut down.

When the guarded APU fire extinguishing switch is pressed, a hermetic py-
rotechnic cartridge will be fired, breaking the rupture disc to discharge the
fire extinguishing agent into the APU fire zone. It will also shut down the APU
and close the APU fuel shut off valve, if the APU emergency stop switch has
not been pressed.

A normally open Temperature Compensated Pressure Switch (TCPS)


mounted on the Fire extinguishing bottle monitors the bottle pressure. If the
pressure falls below a set value, the switch closes and the MAU will provide
a:

• “APU FIREX BTL DISCH” message on the EICAS, indicating that


the bottle is discharged.
• “APU FIREX FAIL” will be displayed if the firex bottle fails to dis-
charge. Further information can be found in the CMC.

Extinguishing
Introduction

The Cargo Compartment Fire Suppression Subsystem supplies fire extin-


guishing agent to the cargo compartment to extinguish a fire. Fire extin-
guishing agent will also be supplied for up to 45 minutes to prevent a fire
from re-igniting.

Two fire extinguisher bottles filled with HALON 1301 are installed in the cen-
tre E-Bay. Discharge is initiated by cockpit command.

High rate/low rate discharge bottles

The two fire extinguishers are located in the mid-electronics bay. One high
rate discharge bottle is filled with 5.91kg HALON 1301, and one low rate dis-
charge bottle is filled with 10kg HALON 1301. They are equipped with dual
outlets to discharge suppression agent into either of the cargo compart-
ments.

The high rate gas flow is designed to extinguish the fire by filling the cargo
compartment with the required concentration of HALON 1301, while the low
rate gas flow afterwards prevents re-ignition.

Each FIREX includes a pressure switch that senses and reports extinguish-
er vessel pressurization, and two initiators for opening the agent outlets. The
initiators are electro-explosive devices (EEDs) that, when fired, rupture a
disk in the outlet of the FIREX. The FIREX pressure switch and EEDs inter-
face directly with the MAU and SPDA.

Fire extinguishing

Depending on which EED is fired, the suppression agent is expelled through


the extinguishing lines to nozzles in either the forward or aft cargo compart-
ment.

The high rate discharge extinguisher, FIREX #1, allows rapid discharge of
the suppression agent. The low rate discharge extinguisher, FIREX #2, dis-
charges through the drier/metering unit (DMU) that provides reduction of the
agent flow rate and prevents moisture from forming at the restricted orifice.

The agent from FIREX #2 will maintain a suppressive concentration in the


compartment long enough to allow the crew to safely land the aircraft.

Cargo fire

If a cargo fire occurs, the cargo smoke warning will be displayed in the cock-
pit and the appropriate cargo compartment fire extinguisher button will illu-
minate. This automatically arms the high rate bottle. By pressing the
illuminated extinguisher button, the high rate bottle will discharge into the re-
lated cargo compartment and the low rate bottle will be armed.

After 1 minutes the low rate bottle will automatically discharge and distribute
its agent via the drier/metering unit into the cargo compartment. The low rate
bottle can be discharged manually before the 1 minutes have expired, by
pressing the extinguisher push button again.

The light in the push button will go off after the low rate bottle has been dis-
charged. Note that the cargo smoke indication will stay on as long as the fire
situation exists.

The fire extinguishing system can be used even without a cargo smoke
warning.

The high rate bottle is armed by pushing a cargo fire extinguisher button,
and is indicated by the red push button light and EICAS message. If the but-
ton is pushed again within the next 2 minutes, the high rate bottle will be dis-
charged. Depending on whether or not the aircraft is weight on wheels, the
sequence for the low rate bottle is automatic in flight, or manual on ground.

In flight the second bottle will fire automatically after 1 minutes;

on ground the button has to be pushed twice to arm and to fire the low rate
bottle.

If the button is not pressed a second time within 2 minutes after arming, the
system will reset. When the fire test button is pressed the system will reset.

26-25 Lavatory Auto Discharge Fire


Extinguishing System
Introduction

The Lavatory Auto Discharge Fire Extinguishing System consists of one fire
extinguishing bottle in the waste disposal receptacle of each lavatory.

The bottle is mounted with the discharging tubes extended into the lavatory
waste compartment, above the waste container.

The fire extinguisher bottle is charged with 120 grams Halon 1301 agent and
is a heat actuated device. The pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher bottle
is visible once the waste compartment door is open.

The Auto Discharge Fire Extinguishing bottle

If fire occurs inside the waste disposal the Auto Discharge Fire Extinguishing
bottle will be automatically discharged. The tip at the end of each discharge
tube will melt at 78º C (172º F) and cause the bottle to fully discharge into
the waste compartment and knockdown the fire in the waste disposal. Dis-
charge indication can be checked through this pressure gauge.

causing the bottle to fully discharge into the waste compartment

78°C 172°F

Discharge indication can be seen on this pressure gage.
