INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic system on the Falcon 2000EX EASy uses engine and APU bleed air as a high
and low pressure energy source for the engine start, air-conditioning, fuel tanks, hydraulic
reservoirs, potable water tank pressurization and ice and rain protection system.
A pneumatic Ground Power Unit (GPU) may be connected to the system when necessary.

INTRODUCTION
The bleed air is divided into two categories, engine and APU bleed air. The engine bleed air is
supplied from the LP and HP compressors of both engines. The bleed air from the APU is
supplied on the ground or in flight from a plenum surrounding the combustor.
MAIN SUB-SYSTEMS
LP BLEED AIR
The main bleed air sources for LP air are located on the inboard side of No 1 and No 2
engines. An auxiliary outboard bleed port on both engines provides pressurized air for fuel
tank and hydraulic reservoirs pressurization.
The LP bleed air also supplies continuously the jet pump of cabin pressurization system.
HP BLEED AIR
The main source for HP bleed air is through manifold-equipped bleed ports on each engine.
The auxiliary bleed-air sources are single bleed ports located on the upper centerline of
each engine. They provide the air intake anti-ice system with hot air.
The HP bleed air also supplies the water tank pressurization system.
Both engine HP bleed-air valves are identical. They consist of electrical driven butterfly
valves, controlled by the BASC (Bleed-Air System Computer) in the automatic mode.
This computer, which is redundantly powered on the monitoring side, receives inputs from
temperature and pressure sensors located throughout the pneumatic system, valve position
indicators, air data system, ground-flight relay system, wing anti-ice and HP valve
pushbutton position.
Using the inputs provided, the BASC regulates the HP valve position and controls warnings
associated with bleed-air system malfunctions. The BASC also gives an order to close to the
corresponding HP valve for each engine start.
Valve position is modulated to supply a required pressure throughout the pneumatic system,
ensuring that the bleed-air requirements of the air-conditioning, pressurization, and wing
anti-ice systems are satisfied.
In case of air conditioning requirements without anti-ice, the BASC opens the valves to 70%
max. For air conditioning requirements with anti-ice, the BASC can open the valves up to
100%. If the wing anti-ice pushbutton is selected to the override position, the BASC
automatic control of HP1 and HP 2 is overridden and the valves fully open. The override
position of the anti-ice pushbutton is used only in case of anti-ice system failure.
At the outlet of each engine, airflows from the main LP and HP ports are mixed by venturi-
action. The resulting pressure is greater than LP bleed-air pressure.
The mixed airflow supplies a common feeder duct through a Pressure Reducing Valve
(PRV).
In normal position, the PRV regulates the bleed air pressure delivered in the common feeder
duct. The valve opens for a minimal upstream pressure of 0.7 bar (10 psi), it automatically
closes if the APU starts with APU selector in AUTO position. It automatically fully opens
when the wing anti-icing system is in operation.
In OFF position, the PRV is closed and fully isolates the bleed air of the corresponding side.
The HP bleed valve located on the same side is automatically closed.
Bleed air back flow from an operating engine to an inoperative engine, or to an engine with a
lower power setting, or injection of HP bleed air into the LP bleed air port is prevented by
check valves.
The bleed air from the APU can supply the LH common feeder duct and be used to operate
the air conditioning system. APU bleed air also supplies the pressurization jet pump
controlling the cabin outflow valves and water tank pressurization.
The ground air connector supplies the RH common feeder duct through an integrated check
valve. The recommanded air kart pressure is 30 psi (max 50 psi) for a 82 lb/sec minimum air
flow and 249°C (480°F) max temperature.
It is located at the rear of the aircraft, on the RH side.
The common feeder duct supplies a mixture of HP and LP air to the pilot and passenger air
conditioning system as well as to the wing anti-icing system.
The common feeder duct can be divided into two separate sub-systems by means of an
electrically motor-operated cross bleed valve.
One side of the cross bleed valve is connected to the No 1 engine and APU and supplies
compressed air to the passenger air conditioning system, No 1 engine pneumatic starter and
jet pump. The other side is connected to the No 2 engine or GPU and supplies the cockpit
air conditioning system, the wing anti-icing system and No 2 engine pneumatic starter.
An XBLEED pushbutton located on the BLEED AIR panel controls the electrical cross bleed
valve. When the cross bleed valve is closed, the two systems are separated.
In AUTO mode, the cross bleed valve is normally closed except if one engine is inoperative
or the wing anti-icing system is operative or the heat exchanger ventilation jet pump valve is
open.
The ISOL and OPEN positions override the valve position.
The APU bleed valve is controlled by an APU pushbutton located on the BLEED AIR panel.
When it is open, APU bleed air supplies the pneumatic system.
If the APU pushbutton is AUTO, the APU bleed air valve is open except when:
- the APU is not in operation,
- the wing anti-ice system is in operation,
- a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is not fully closed within 4 sec following its closing
command.
In AUTO mode, APU bleed valve is fully open as long as the Exhaust Gas Temperature
(EGT) limit is not reached.
The O’RIDE and OFF positions override the automatic mode.
DISTRIBUTION
CONTROL
The BLEED AIR panel located within the overhead panel controls engines and APU bleed
valves, Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) and the CABIN or COCKPIT supply valves. An
XBLEED pushbutton can also control the bleed air common feeder duct cross bleed valve.

center MDU.

When APU is stopped the bleed valve is amber (A) instead of gray (B).
In case of RH engine stopped with XBLEED closed, the right main bleed flow line is

INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic system is protected by conventional trip-free circuit breakers located above
the overhead panel and by an overheat protection.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
MAIN PROTECTIONS
OVERHEAT
To prevent any bleed air duct overheating (335°C), at a duct temperature of 305°C the
BASC starts to close the associated HP valve.
In the event of crew or passenger duct temperature exceeding 335°C or wing anti-icing duct
temperature exceeding 310°C, probes within the duct trigger the BLEED .. OVHT
on CAS window display.
In this case, the OFF position of the HP pushbutton overrides the BASC automatic control of
the valve and activates the valve motor to the closed position.
ENGINE START
If during an engine start the associated HP valve does not automatically close, a message,
HP .. FAILED is displayed within CAS window.
In this case, the OFF position of the HP pushbutton overrides the BASC automatic control of
the valve and activates the valve motor to the closed position.
¾ For more information, refer to CODDE 2 / ABNORMAL PROCEDURES / ATA 36.
APU
The APU electronic control unit monitors valve operation so that the APU EGT limit is not
exceeded. (APU bleed valve is fully open as long as the EGT limit is not reached).
