There is a controller for each pack.

Controller regulates the pack’s discharge temperature through the PACK FLOW CONTROL
VALVE, the TURBINE BYPASS VALVE and the RAM AIR INLET FLAP (closed during take off and landing to avoid damages due
to debris. During take off it is closed when take off power is set and there is weight on wheels. During landing it is closed when weight
on wheels is detected and speed is at or above 70 knots. It re-opens 20” after speed has decreased below 70 knots).

• Controls pack flow and discharge

temperature.
• Electrically controlled,
pneumatically operated by the AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
CONTROLLER.
• Spring loaded to closed position if
no BLEED AIR PRESS.
• Closed if: PACK OVERHEAT.
ENG. START.
DITCH BUTTON.
FIRE PUSHBUTTON.

If air cycle machine fails, pack still

can be used just using both HEAT
EXCHANGERS, controller will trim
the temperature with the RAM AIR
INLET FLAP an dthe TURBINE
BYPASS VALVE. Hot air flow will
be lower as pack’s flow is reduced
too.

Will be adjusted depending on the

passenger number or external air
conditions. If less than 115
passengers, pack flow should be
selected LO. If external conditions
extremely hot, should be selected
HIGH.
During single engine operations or if
APU is suplying bleed pressure, pack
flow will be ALWAYS HIGH
independentely of the position of the
switch.
If LO is selected but required
tempertature cannot be maintained or
reached the AIR CONDITIONING
CONTROLLER will make the valve
change to NORM flow. Switch will
not move but valve will.
LO = 80%
NORM = 100%
HIGH = 120%

If power setting is too low (low N1)
the controller will command the EIU
(Engine Interface Unit) to increase the
idle setting to allow bleed pressure to
increaseand so sarisgy the temperature
demand. The same happens for the
APU, power is not increased as it
always operates at 100% power but
bleed flow is. (Monitored through the
APU ECB, Electronic Control Box).
If switch in NORM position, indication Compressor discharge
(LO-HI) will change depending on the temperature, amber if
valve’s postion controlled by the AIR higher than 230ºC.
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
CONTROLLER. If switch is set on LO,
the valve will remain fixed in LO
position, the same happens for the HI
position.
Pack’s discharge temperature,
amber if higher than 90ºC.
