Q

How is air circulated in avionic ventilation system in OPEN config ?

A

Air come from outside (some from cockpit vent), then extracted overboard.

System is cooled by cool air from outside

  • Skin air inlet and outlet valves open
  • Skin exchange inlet and outlet bypass valves close
  • Air conditioning air inlet valve close
  • Skin exchange isolation valve close

Q

How is air circulated in avionic ventilation system in Blower fault or Extract fault config ?

A

System is in closed circuit and air come from air conditioning system.

System is cooled by conditioning air

  • Skin air inlet and outlet valves close
  • Skin exchange inlet and outlet bypass valves close
  • Air conditioning air inlet valve open
  • Skin exchange isolation valve open

Q

How is air circulated in avionic ventilation system in SMOKE config ?

Study These Flashcards
A

Air come from air conditioning system and vented overboard

System is cooled by conditioning air

  • Skin air inlet close and outlet valves partialy open
  • Skin exchange inlet and outlet bypass valves close
  • Air conditioning air inlet valve open
  • Skin exchange isolation valve close

23
Q

What happen when BLOWER pb set to OVRD ?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Blower fan stop, exctract fan run
  • System switch to Blower fault config
24
Q

What happen when EXTRACT pb set to OVRD ?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Extract fan and Blower fan both run
  • System switch to Extract fault config
25
How can the system alert the crew, if there is smoke in avionic bay ?
* **Fault** light on Blower and Extract pb illuminate * **SMOKE** lt on GEN 1 LINE pb illuminate * ECAM alert mess
26
Which light illuminate when there is a controller failure ? | Avionic ventilation system
**FAULT** lt of BLOWER and EXTRACT pbs
27
What to do when there is a controller failure ? | Avionic ventilation system
Set both Blower and Extract to **OVRD**
28
What happen when **EXTRACT** pb and **BLOWER** pb set to **OVRD** ?
* Blower fan stop, exctract fan run * System is the same as smoke config except skin air inlet valve, skin exchange inlet valve and skin exchange isolation valve open
29
What happen when **EXTRACT** pb and **BLOWER** pb set to **OVRD** and smoke is detected in avionic bay ?
* Blower fan stop, exctract fan run * System switch into smoke config
30
How are batteries ventilated ?
A venturi in the skin of a/c draws air from the space around the batteries and vent it outboard
31
How are lavatories and galleys ventilated ?
An extraction fan drawn ambiet cabin air through lavatories and galleys and exhausts it near the outflow valve
32
How can you turn on the **extraction fan** of lavatories and galleys ventilations system ?
it runs continually when elec power avail
33
**FAULT** lt on **BLOWER** pb ?
* Blowing pressure is low * computer power supply fails * smoke warning * duct overheats
34
**FAULT** lt on **EXTRACT** pb ?
* Extract pressure is low * computer power supply fails * smoke warning
35
When a/c on ground with engines shut down, and **blower** or **extract** pressure is low, what will happen ?
An external horn will sound
36
How are the **FWD** cargo compartment ventilated ?
The air come from cabin and is exhausted outboard via an extraction fan or by differiential pressure
37
What are the component of **AFT** and **FWD** cargo compartment ventilation system ?
* An extraction fan * Inlet and outlet isolation valves * Cargo ventilation controller
38
How are the **AFT** cargo compartment ventilated ?
The air come from cabin and is exhausted outboard via an extraction fan
39
When will the controller closes the isolation valves and stops extraction fan ? | cargo ventilation
* Set (AFT/FWD) ISOL VALVE pb OFF * Smoke detected
40
What happen when **AFT** or **FWD ISOL VALVE** pb set to **OFF** ?
* Isolation valves are closed * Extraction Fan stop
41
When will extraction fan of **FWD** cargo stop running ?
* When a/c inflight and ΔP>1 * FWD ISOL VALVE pb OFF * Smoke detected * DITCHING pb pushed
42
When will extraction fan of **AFT** cargo stop running ?
* AFT ISOL VALVE pb OFF * Smoke detected
43
How can cargo temp be regulated ?
System mix hot bleed air with the air from cabin. | The amount of hot air is control by trim air valve.
44
What will happen when inlet temp reach * 70℃ * 88℃ | Cargo ventilation system
* 70℃ trim air valve close * 88℃ pressure regulating valve close
45
HOT AIR pb | On **CARGO HEAT** panel * OFF * FAULT
* OFF: Pressure regulating valve and trim air valve close * FAULT: duct overheat (T°>88℃), light goes out when T°<70℃ and OFF is selected
46
Can the crew reset system when duct over heat ? | Cargo ventilation system
Yes, reset by pressing **HOT AIR** pb, when temp < 70℃
47
**FAULT** lt on AFT/FWD ISOL VALVE ?
Come on amber when either inlet or outlet valve is not in selected position
48
Cargo temperature selector * Hot * Middle | * Cold
* Cold: 5℃ * Hot: 26℃ * Middle: 15℃
49
With **BLOWER** and **EXTRACTOR** pb in **AUTO**, what ventilation system's config do you expect to see ?
* OPEN * CLOSE * INTERMEDIATE
50
On which ECAM page you will get the information abt ventilation system ?
PRESS page
51
On which ECAM page you will get the information abt cargo heating system ?
COND page
52
During the ground function operation, the outflow valve is ...
Fully open
53
With both **BLOWER** and **EXTRACTOR** in **OVRD**, what are the position for the **skin air inlet** and **outlet valve** ? | SMOKE config
* Skin air inlet valve close * Skin air outlet valve partialy open
54
With cargo smoke waring, what happen to the isolation valve and extract fan ?
* Isolation valve close * Fan stop
