1. General
The air distribution system supplies air at the correct temperature and in the correct proportion
to the flight compartment and the passenger compartment.
The system supplies the air through a duct and the related outlets installed in the flight
compartment and in the passenger compartment.
The function of the air distribution system is to adjust the temperature in the passenger
compartment and to supply air for the ventilation of the same compartment.

The primary air distribution duct on the right side of the passenger compartment supply air to
the toilet. A ventilation nozzle adjusts the flow and direction of air in the toilet to remove all
smells and keep the air clean.

B. Duct compensator
The duct compensators are installed in the air conditioning ducts of the left and right
center wings. Their function is to adjust the axial displacement of the ducts that the
changes of temperature can cause.
C. Check valves
The check valves are installed in the air-conditioning supply ducts in the leading edge of
the left and right center wing. They let the air flow only in one direction.
D. Single aeration valves
The two single aeration valves are installed at the each seat of the left pilot, the right pilot
(and the observer). One single aeration valve is also installed at each attendant seat in
the passenger compartment. The flight crew can adjust the direction and flow of the air
that comes out of each single aeration valve, as necessary.
E. Flight compartment defog valve
The two defog valves are installed in the flight compartment. They adjust the airflow that
removes the moisture from the left and right windshields and from the observer window.
4. System Operation
A. Flight compartment air distribution system
Ref. Fig. 002.
Air from the left cooling assembly flows through the supply ducts into the flight
compartment. The routing of these air supply ducts is through FR 15 thru FR 16 (STR
32 thru STR 33) on the left side of the fuselage.
EFF:ALL 21-24-00
Page 3
Feb 20/2013
MA60 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (PART I SDS)
The main supply duct of the air distribution system divides into two channels between FR
13 and FR 14.
The air goes into the flight compartment air distribution system through the duct of STR
32 and this occurs also on the other side of the fuselage. And then the air flows into the
flight compartment through the single aeration valves which are adjacent to the crews.
The air also flows through the left and right windshields and through the nozzles below
the observing window.
B. Passenger compartment air distribution system
Ref. Fig. 003.
The air supply ducts supply air from the left and right sets of cooling assembly, to the
passenger compartment at the correct temperature. The routing of these air supply ducts
is through the leading edge of the wing and FR 15 thru FR 16 (STR 31 thru STR 32) of
the fuselage. Air, at the correct temperature, is supplied to the main air distribution ducts
of the passenger compartment along the skin of the inboard fuselage. The air supply also
occurs through the left and right supply ducts (FR 16 thru FR 17 and STR 28 thru STR
29).
The air in the corrugated hose flows up to the air distribution grilles on the top of the
passenger compartment. Then along the skin of the inboard fuselage, the air flows
downward to the foot heating grilles for passengers (the foot heating grilles are only
installed on fuselage FR 11B thru FR 25).
The air in the corrugated hose flows from the primary air distribution duct to the
adjustable ventilation nozzle on the passenger service panel. Each passenger can thus
adjust the direction and flow of the ventilation air. On the trim panel of the passenger
compartment there is a row of small-hole grilles. The function of the grilles is to let the air
go out of the passenger compartment.
Through the corrugated hoses the air flows from FR 29 thru FR 30 of the primary air
distribution duct (on the right side of the passenger compartment) to the toilet. This
removes all smells from the toilet and keeps the air clean.
The exhaust air from the passenger compartment flows below the floor where a
recirculation fan gets some of this air. The remaining air flows out of the passenger
compartment through the outflow valve.

1. General
The air recirculation system mixes the air from the passenger compartment with the cool air
from the air conditioning assemblies. It is thus possible to better adjust the increase or
decrease of temperature in the passenger compartment.
2. System Description
The air recirculation system gets the air from the passenger compartment through a
recirculation fan and a filter installed below the floor. This air goes back to the
condenser/mixer where it mixes with external air at the outlet of the air cycle machine turbine.
The mixed air is then supplied to the passenger compartment.
The air recirculation system includes two recirculation fans, two check valves and ducts, and
other accessories.
The two recirculation fans are installed below the floor of the passenger compartment
between FR 15 and FR 16.
The two check valves are installed in the recirculation ducts between the RIB 4 and RIB 5 in
the leading edge of the left and right wings.
A recirculation fan switch, on the overhead environment control panel in the flight
compartment, controls the air recirculation system. Ref. 21-61-00.
Ref. Table 001 for the location of the components of the air recirculation system.
Ref. Table 002 for the power supply of the recirculation fan.

If there is too much load, the circuit with less current in the control logic assembly will remove
the power from the motor stator. When the load is too much, to start the fan again, do this
procedure:
- Remove the power from the fan.
- Supply the power again to the fan.
When the temperature increases too much, the fan will stop its operation temporarily. After the
temperature decreases to a normal value, the fan will automatically start again.
3. Component Description
A. Recirculation fan
The recirculation fan is an axial fan. When powered, the transformer in the recirculation
fan changes the 28 V DC into a three-phase AC to operate the motor. The motor turns the
impeller counterclockwise (as view from the end of the impeller). The suction of air occurs
through the inlet shield. Then the air goes out of the outlet through the interior channel.
B. Recirculation check valve
The recirculation check valve is installed in the recirculation duct at RIB 4 thru RIB 5 of
the leading edge of the left and right wings. Because of the fan, the air from the outlet of
the air cycle machine turbine cannot go directly below the floor.
4. System Operation
When the recirculation fan switch on the overhead environment control panel in the flight
compartment is set to ON, the left and right recirculation fans operate. They will remove some
air from the passenger compartment, and this air will go to the entrance of the cold channel of
the condenser/mixer (installed in the left and right nacelles).
The passenger compartment air will mix with:
- The cold air from the outlet of the turbine of the air cycle machine.
- The air from the hot channel of the temperature control valve.
Then the air goes into the passenger compartment through the condenser to increase the
cold and hot airflow supplied to the passengers. When there is smoke or other contamination
in the passenger compartment, it is necessary to set the recirculation fan switch to OFF.

1. General
The ventilation system supplies the air for the ventilation of the electronic equipment installed
in the flight compartment.
An increased air speed in the electronic equipment rack makes the heat removal more
satisfactory and lets the electronic equipment operate correctly.
2. System Description
The ventilation system includes the cooling fan and two air pipes.
Ref. Table 001 for the location of the components of the ventilation system.
The cooling fan is installed below the floor of FR 10. Two air pipes connected to the cooling
fan supply the air necessary to decrease the temperature of the electronic equipment rack in
the flight compartment. When the air speed in the electronic equipment rack increases, there
is a better ventilation airflow and stable operation conditions. The removal of heat from the
electronic equipment is satisfactory in usual operation conditions and the electronic
equipment can operate correctly.

PRESSURE CONTROL
1. General
The pressure control system can automatically and manually control the quantity of air that
flows out of the cabin through the outflow valve. It is thus possible to have safe and
satisfactory pressure levels for passengers and flight crew, when the aircraft operates in the
flight envelope.

3. Component Description
A. Cabin altitude controller
The cabin altitude controller is installed below the center instrument panel. When the
“AUTO” or “MANUAL” control modes are set on the cabin pressure control panel, the
altitude controller can operates in:
- The full automatic mode.
- The constant pressure control mode.
In the full automatic mode, it is only necessary to set the altitude of the landing airport.
In the constant pressure control mode, it is only necessary to set the correct cabin
altitude or the flight altitude.
The cabin altitude controller includes an altitude sensor and a micro-switch.

MA60 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (PART I SDS)
The micro-switch compares the set altitude value with the true altitude value. If they do
not agree, the controller will send appropriate signals. The pressurizing coil valves or
depressurizing coil valves are energized and start to operate. When the air pressure
Increases or decreases in the control chamber:
- The valve membrane will move down or up.
- The quantity of air that flows out of the cabin will decrease or increase.
- The pressure in the cabin will change.
B. Manual regulating valve
The manual regulating valve is a mechanical, three-position, reversing valve. When you
set the knob to “CLIMB”, the control chamber releases the air overboard. The valve
membrane moves up to fully open the outflow valve and increase the Cabin altitude.
When you set the knob to “DESCEND”, a pressure duct will inflate the control chamber
and the valve membrane will move down. Thus the outflow valve will be less open to
decrease the cabin altitude.
C. Primary outflow valve and auxiliary outflow valve
Ref. Fig. 002.
The primary outflow valve and the auxiliary outflow valve make an assembly. One
assembly is installed below FR 37 and FR 38. The primary outflow valve is on the right
side and the auxiliary outflow valve is on the left side.
Another assembly is installed below FR 10 and FR 11C. The primary outflow valve is on
the left side and the auxiliary outflow valve is on the right side.
The structure of the primary outflow valve is the same as that of the auxiliary outflow
valve. The difference is that the auxiliary outflow valve does not have these components:
- Pressurizing coil valves.
- Depressurizing coil valves.
- Maximum cabin altitude limits valves.
- Maximum cabin differential pressure limiter valves.
The control chambers of the primary outflow valve and that of the auxiliary outflow valve
are connected together. Thus the membrane of the primary outflow valve and that of the
auxiliary outflow valve are synchronized
D. Air Pump
There is a condition where the external differential pressure on the ground or at low
altitude in the cabin is lower than the set value. When the air pump operates in this
condition, the outflow valve membrane will move up at a higher speed. And this will
increase the airflow from the cabin.

5. Modes of Operation
A. Schematic diagram of pressure control system
Ref. Fig. 004.
B. The pressure control system can operate in the automatic and in the manual modes. In
the automatic mode, the cabin altitude controller automatically controls the quantity of air
that flows out of the cabin. In the manual mode, the manual regulating valve controls the
quantity of air that flows out of the cabin.
C. There are two automatic work modes: a full automatic mode and a constant pressure
control mode
D. In the full automatic mode, the air data computer supplies the flight altitude signals to the
altitude controller. The altitude controller controls the cabin altitude with a special control
procedure. When the air data computer cannot supply the flight altitude signals to the
controller, the controller will automatically move to the constant pressure control mode. At
this time, it is necessary to set the flight altitude or cabin altitude on the altitude controller.
The altitude controller will thus control the cabin altitude in relation to the set altitude.
E. To go into the automatic mode (Ref. Fig. 005)
(1) Set the parameters in the altitude controller (Ref. Fig. 005):
- Scheduled flight altitude or cabin altitude (only necessary in the constant pressure
control mode);
- Altitude of landing airport (before take-off or descent).
(2) The altitude controller compares and calculates:
- Scheduled flight altitude or cabin altitude
- Altitude of landing airport
- The cabin altitude
- The cabin altitude change rate got from its sensors.
(3) The altitude controller sends the signals which will:
(a) Open the “CLIMB” solenoid valve of the primary outflow valve. The control
chamber of the outflow valve will connect with the vacuum duct to start the
outflow valve operation.
(b) Open the “DESCEND” solenoid valve of the primary outflow valve. The control
chamber of the outflow valve will connect with the pressure duct to close the
outflow valve.

NOTE: For the operation in the automatic mode, these conditions are necessary:
- The outflow valve must be in the “AUTO” position.
- The control switch of the air pump must be in the “NORMAL” position.
- The DEPRESSURIZE/ NORMAL relief switch must be in the “NORMAL” position.
F. To go into the manual mode (Ref. Fig. 006):
(1) Turn the knob of the manual regulating valve to open or close the outflow valve.
(2) When you turn the knob to the "CLIMB" position, the control chamber will release the
air overboard and the outflow valve will open.
(3) When you turn the knob to the “DESCEND” position, the cabin pressure is released to
the control chamber of the outflow valve. This will cause the outflow vent valve to
close.
NOTE: It is necessary to set the outflow valve switch in the “MANUAL” position.

6. System Operation
A. General
The automatic control mode is the usual mode of operation of the pressure control
system for the cabin.
The automatic control mode automatically adjusts the quantity of air that flows through
the outflow valve. This will keep correct pressure values in the cabin.
The manual control mode is a standby mode to manually adjust the cabin pressure. The
maximum differential pressure limiter valve can automatically work only when the
pressure values in the cabin are in a dangerous range.
B. Operation in Automatic Mode
Connect the pressure control system to the power supply, then set the “AUTO” control
mode on the cabin pressure control panel.
When the full automatic mode is in operating, set the altitude of the landing airport with
the altitude setting knob on the altitude controller. The set value is shown in the “SET
ALT” window.
When the flight altitude input from the air data computer is incorrect, the altitude controller
will automatically move to the constant control mode. The yellow indicator on the left side
of the controller will come on.
EFF:ALL 21-31-00
Page 11
Feb 20/2013
MA60 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (PART I SDS)
At this time, it is necessary to set the scheduled cabin altitude or the flight altitude with
the altitude setting knob on the altitude controller. The set value is shown in the “SET
ALT” window.
To move from the cabin altitude to the flight altitude it is necessary to press the “FL”
button on the controller.
During the aircraft climb, descent and cruising, the altitude controller controls the quantity
of air that goes out of the outflow valve. This will occur in relation to the set value.
C. Operation Manual Mode
When the manual control is necessary, set the “MANUAL” mode with the mode select
switch.
If you turn the knob of the manual regulating valve to the “CLIMB” position this will occur:
- The quantity of air that goes out of the outflow valve increases
- The cabin altitude increases.
If you turn the knob to the “DESCEND” position, this will occur:
- The quantity of air that goes out of the outflow valve decreases
- The cabin altitude decreases.
During the manual control, these values are important:
- The cabin altitude,
-The Cabin altitude change rate
-The cabin differential pressure.
Thus to have satisfactory conditions, it is necessary to operate in relation to the
indications of the cabin altitude, rate and differential pressure Indicator.
D. Release of Pressure
When it is necessary to release the pressure in the cabin, set the DEPRESSURIZE/
NORMAL switch to the “DEPRESSURIZE” position. Thus the outflow valve can
immediately open to release the pressure in cabin.
E. System Operation when the aircraft is in cruise phase
When the aircraft is the cruise phase, the air pressure of the control chamber is the same
as that of the external air. The cabin pressure will not change because of the movement
of the valve membrane.
F. System Operation during Aircraft Climb
During climb, the altitude controller will send signals. Thus the depressurizing coil valve
will become energized and will operate to release the air of the control chamber into the
vacuum duct. This will cause the valve membrane to move up and will increase the
quantity of air that goes out of the cabin.
G. System Operation during Aircraft Descent
During the descent, the altitude controller will send signals. The pressurizing coil valve
will become energized and will operate to let the air of the pressure duct go into the
control chamber. Thus the valve membrane will move down to decrease the quantity of

When the cabin altitude is more than 11500 ft (3500 m), the altitude annunciator sends
signals to the alarm bell. The alarm bell sends audio signals to give the pilot a warning
that the cabin altitude is not in the permitted limits. In this condition the emergency
descent procedures are necessary.

C. Condenser/mixer
Ref. Fig. 003.
The condenser/mixer is an aluminum alloy welded assembly. It has a heater exchanger
and inlet and outlet head covers.
The rounded end of the assembly is the mixer. In this mixer the cold air from the ACM
and the hot air from the heat bypass mix together with the passenger compartment air by
the recirculation system. This makes sure that the air temperature and the airflow in the
passenger compartment and cockpit meet the applicable requirements.
The other end of the assembly is the condenser where the free water is isolated from the
air in the heat exchanger. The cold water is collected and sprayed into the cold edge ram
airflow of the heat exchanger to get a better performance of the heat exchanger.
D. Fog nozzle
The fog nozzle is installed in the ram-air inlet of the primary heat exchanger. The water
filter connects the drainage port of the condenser. The fog nozzles spray the
condensation water from the condenser into the cold edge of the heater. This lets the
heater have a better performance.
E. Water filter
The water filter is installed between the condenser drainage port and the fog nozzle in the
ram-air inlet of the primary heat exchanger. Its function is to filter the unwanted materials
of the condensation water. The water must be clean because it will go into the ram-air
inlet of the primary heat exchanger. Thus the core of the dual heat exchanger stays
clean.
4. System Operation
The engine bleed air goes into the primary heat exchanger of the dual heat exchanger)to
decrease its temperature. Then the air goes into the compressor of the air cycle machine
which will increase the air pressure and temperature. When the air flows into the secondary
heat exchanger (of the dual heat exchanger), its temperature will decrease again. Then the air
goes into a turbine, which will expand and decrease its temperature and pressure again. At
the end of the procedure the airflow obeys the requirements of the aircraft air conditioning
system. And it also moves the compressor and the fan that can thus operate.
The fan of the air cycle machine uses the cold edge airflow from the dual heat exchanger and
the ram air from the intakes of FR 21 and FR 22 of the nacelle. It then sends these airflows to
the cold channel of the heater. As a last step, the air goes out of the nacelle through the holes
of FR 22 and FR 23.
The hot edge airflow of the heat exchanger comes from the engine bleed system of the
aircraft. When the hot edge airflow goes through the core of the primary heat exchanger, it
transmits the heat to the cold edge airflow. This occurs through the skin panel and the cooling
fan. When the air flows out of the core of the primary heat exchanger, it directly goes into the
inlet of the air cycle machine compressor. This compressor will compress the air to increase
its temperature and pressure. When the airflow goes out of the compressor, it flows into the

secondary heat exchanger. Here the cold edge ram air will decrease the temperature of the
airflow, which will then go to the condenser to decrease its temperature. As a last step, the
airflow goes into the turbine of the air cycle machine which expands the air and decreases its
temperature again.
The cold air from the outlet of the air cycle machine mixed with hot air from the temperature
control valve becomes a low temperature air. This air will go through the condenser, to
decrease the temperature of the hot air from the heat exchanger. This process occurs
because of the radiating ribs. In the heat exchanger, the unwanted water from the hot air
changes into free water drops. These water drops collect in the water outlet. Here the water
goes through a pipe to the inlet airflow of the cold edge ram air (from the heat exchanger) and
then out of the aircraft.
This procedure occurs when it is necessary to increase the temperature in the passenger
compartment:
In the mixer, the moderately low temperature air (of the passenger compartment) from the
recirculation system mixes with the hot air from the free turbine outlet. Then this mixed air
goes through the condenser and flows to the passenger compartment.
This procedure occurs when it is necessary to decrease the temperature in the passenger
compartment:
In the mixer, the moderately hot cabin air from the recirculation system mixes with the cold air
from the turbine outlet. This causes a moderate increase of the air temperature. The increase
is necessary because the free water that is in the air must not freeze when the air goes
through the condenser. When the temperature of the hot edge air in the condenser decreases
to a temperature lower than the dew point, the free water drops are isolated from the air. They
go through a collector to the fog nozzle of the heater cold edge. The evaporation of the
sprayed water drops absorbs the heat and thus the heater can have a better performance.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION
1. General
The temperature regulation system can automatically or manually open the cold and hot
channels of the temperature control valves. Thus the system controls the temperature of the
supplied air in the cooling system and outlet ducts. The result of this procedure is the
adjustment of the air temperature in the flight compartment and the passenger compartment.
2. System Description
The aircraft has two temperature regulation systems that operate independently:
- The flight compartment temperature regulation system.
- The passenger compartment temperature regulation system.
The flight compartment temperature regulation system controls the temperature of the air
supply from the left air conditioning assembly.
The passenger compartment temperature regulation system controls the temperature of the
air supply from the right air conditioning assembly.
On the environment control panel there are different switches for each temperature regulation
system. It is possible to adjust the temperature automatically or manually.
If the temperature regulation system of one side is unserviceable, the other temperature
regulation system can supply air to the passenger compartment and the flight compartment.
The correct range of the air temperature in the flight compartment/ passenger compartment is
18°C to 30°C (64,4°F to 86°F).
The temperature regulation system includes these components:
- A pressure regulation and shutoff valve
- A bleed shutoff valve
- A temperature control box
- A temperature selector
- A temperature control valve
- A temperature sensor of flight compartment
- A temperature sensor of cabin air supply duct
- A compressor over temperature unload switch
- A compressor outlet over temperature switch
- A cabin duct over temperature switch
- A high bleed pressure switch

3. Component Description
A. Pressure regulation and shutoff valve
The pressure regulation and shutoff valve is a pneumatic solenoid valve. Its function is to
connect or disconnect the supply of bleed air and to adjust the bleed pressure. The valve
has three pressure adjustment levels: normal flow, economic flow and maximum flow.
EFF:ALL 21-61-00
Page 3
Feb 20/2013
MA60 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (PART I SDS)
When the outlet pressure of the valve increases also the airflow increases. When the
outlet pressure of the valve decreases also the airflow decreases.
You can get a normal flow when the power supply to all the solenoid coils is disconnected.
You can get the maximum flow when the maximum solenoid coils are energized, and this
will cause the outlet air pressure to increase. You can get the decreased (economic) flow
when the economic solenoid coils are energized, and this will cause the outlet air
pressure to decrease.
When the valves are opened or closed, a micro-switch will send 28 V CD “closed/
non-closed” signals.
B. Bleed shutoff valve
The bleed shutoff valve is a pneumatic solenoid valve, which connects or disconnects the
air conditioning bleed. When the power supply is connected the valve is closed, and
when the power supply is disconnected, the engine bleed pressure opens the valve.
When the valves are opened or closed, a micro-switch will send 28 V DC “closed/
non-closed” signals.
C. Compressor over temperature unload switch
The compressor over temperature unload switch is installed on the compressor outlet
shell (the compressor is part of the air cycle machine). When the air temperature in the
compressor outlet is more than 227℃±2.7℃(440.6℉±36.86℉), this will occur:
- The over temperature unload switch of the compressor is closed.
- The pressure regulation and shutoff valve and the bleed shutoff valve are closed
automatically

the flight compartment air temperature). The temperature selector can set the flight
compartment temperature in the range of 18℃ to 30℃ (64.4℉ to 86℉).
G. Temperature sensors of cabin air supply duct
Temperature sensors of cabin air supply duct are installed in the cabin air conditioning
ducts. They send the duct air supply temperature signals to the temperature control box.
H. Flight compartment temperature sensor
The flight compartment temperature sensor sends the flight compartment temperature
signals to the temperature control box.
I. Passenger compartment temperature sensor
The passenger compartment temperature sensor senses the temperature in the
passenger compartment and then sends an electronic signal to the cabin temperature
control box. This electronic signal is in relation to the passenger compartment
temperature.
J. Cabin duct over temperature switch
The cabin duct over temperature switches are installed in the left and right engine
nacelles. If the duct air supply temperature is between 85℃ to 91℃ (185℉ to 195.8℉),
the cabin duct over temperature switch is closed. Also the pressure regulation and shutoff
valve and the bleed shutoff valve are closed to prevent too high temperature.
K. Temperature control boxes
The flight compartment and cabin temperature control boxes are installed between FR 12
and 13 on the top cabin. In the automatic control mode, the value is set with the
temperature selector. The temperature control box sends signals after it compares the
set value with the value of the temperature sensor in the related cabin/flight compartment.
These signals make the cold and hot channels of the temperature control valves open as
necessary. This procedure keeps the temperature of the air supply in the range of 1.7℃
to 71℃ (35℉ to 160℉), and keeps the temperature value set in the cabin.
L. High bleed pressure switch
The high bleed pressure switch is installed downstream of the pressure regulation and
shutoff valve. When the air pressure in duct is more than 369 kPa±24 kPa (53.52
psi±3.48 psi), the high bleed pressure switch closes, and also the pressure regulation
and shutoff valve automatically closes. This will stop the supply of bleed air.
M. Environment control panel
The environment control panel has the controls and the indicators of the temperature
regulation system.
EFF:ALL 21-61-00

MA60 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (PART I SDS)
The switch controls the pressure regulation and shutoff valve. This valve can start or stop
the air supply from the pneumatic system to the air conditioning system. The valve also
adjusts the pressure of the bleed air from the engine and APU. When the pressure
regulation and shutoff valve is in the closed position, the related “CLOSED” amber
indicator comes on.
B. BLEED SOV switch
This switch controls the bleed shutoff valve; the value connects or disconnects the air
supply to/from the air conditioning system. When the bleed shutoff valve is in the closed
position, the related CLOSED amber indicator comes on.
C. AUTO/MANUAL switch
This switch sets the operation mode for the temperature regulation system. This can
operate in the AUTO or MANUAL mode.
D. “TEMP SELECT” knob
In the AUTO mode, you can turn the temperature selector knob to set the temperature
from 18℃ to 30℃ in the flight compartment/cabin.
E. HEAT/COOL switch
In the MANUAL mode, if you set the switch to HEAT the temperature will increase. And
the related HEAT green indicator comes on. If you set the switch to COOL temperature
will decrease, and the related COOL green indicator comes on.
F. HEAT and COOL indicators
When the temperature regulation system operates in the automatic or manual mode, this
will occur:
- The HEAT green indicator comes on when the temperature regulation system operates
to increase the temperature.
- The COOL green indicator comes on when the temperature regulation system operates
to decrease the temperature.
G. ECON FLOW switch
When the switch is set to ON, the economic solenoid coil of pressure regulation and
shutoff valve is energized and starts to operate. As a result:
- The outlet pressure of the valve decreases.
- The bleed air of the air conditioning system decreases.
- There is less loss of engine power, when only one engine is in operation.
H. MAX FLOW switch
When the switch is set at ON, the maximum solenoid coil of pressure regulation and
shutoff valve is energized and starts to operate. As a result:
- The outlet pressure of the valve increases.
- The bleed air of the air conditioning system increases.
- The temperature in the cabin becomes better.

5. System Operation
The flight compartment and the passenger compartment temperature regulation system have
automatic and manual control modes.
A. In the automatic control mode, the value is set with the temperature selector. The
temperature control box sends signals after it compares the set value with the value of
the temperature sensor in the related Passenger compartment/flight compartment. These
signals make the cold and hot channels of the temperature control valves open as
necessary. This procedure keeps the temperature of the air supply in the range of 1.7°C
to 71°C (35°F to 160°F), and keeps the temperature value set in the flight compartment.
C. Operational of the over temperature switches. If the temperature of the air supply duct is
exceeds 85°C to 91°C (185°F to 195.8°F), the cabin duct over temperature switch closes.
This occurs in the automatic and manual temperature control modes. When the switch
closes, also the pressure regulation and shutoff valve and the bleed shutoff valve close
and thus prevent too high temperatures.
