2.0 R-134A AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SUBTASK 21-00-12-99F-006
2.1 General:
2.1.1 The air conditioning system installed on the Hawker Beechcraft 400A Aircraft is not
considered a primary flight system. However, an air conditioning system does perform the
important function of providing passenger and flight crew comfort during aircraft movement
on the ground and while in flight. Aircraft air conditioning systems not only provide effective
passenger cooling, but must also maintain a high level of reliability to minimize aircraft
downtime due to unscheduled repairs.
2.1.2 In order to ensure component reliability and achieve a long service life for which the system
is designed, periodic inspection and preventive maintenance must be performed. Failure to
complete periodic inspections, service, or maintenance schedules may reduce product life
and potentially void manufacturer’s warranty.
2.1.3 Inspections, servicing, and/or maintenance schedules are presented in the following
sections. This will ensure component and/or system reliability and performance are
maintained when performed at the specified intervals.
WARNING: SERVICE TECHNICIANS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVE STANDARD SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS, SUCH AS WEARING PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR, TO PREVENT INJURY WHILE
PERFORMING SERVICE TO THE UNIT. LIQUID REFRIGERANT CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE AND/OR
BLINDNESS.
WARNING: PROPER VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. KEEP REFRIGERANTS AND OILS AWAY FROM
OPEN FLAMES. REFRIGERANTS CAN PRODUCE POISONOUS GASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF A
FLAME. WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND AVOID BREATHING REFRIGERANT /LUBRICANT
VAPOR MIST IF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OCCURS.
WARNING: AVOID USE OF COMPRESSED AIR. DO NOT INTRODUCE COMPRESSED AIR OR
OXYGEN INTO AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OR REFRIGERANT CONTAINER. R-134A IN THE
PRESENCE OF AIR OR OXYGEN ABOVE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MAY FORM A COMBUSTIBLE
MIXTURE.
2.1.4 Do not discharge R-134A refrigerant into the atmosphere. Although its ozone depletion
potential is zero, it can have an effect on global warming. In the United States recovery and
recycling are mandated by the Clean Air Act.

2.1.5 Refrigerant recovery/recycling service equipment must be approved for use with R-134A
refrigerant. Recycling machines must be approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and
meet SAE standard J2210 and SAE standard J2099 for refrigerant purity.
SUBTASK 21-00-12-99F-007
2.2 System Description and Operation:
2.2.1 The cabin cooling system installed in the Hawker Beechcraft 400A Aircraft operates using a
closed vapor cycle concept using refrigerant R-134A as the heat absorption media. The R-
134A air conditioning system cools the aircraft in a similar manner as systems found in an
automobile or home. However, aircraft air conditioning systems contain components which
are designed to be light weight, compact, provide high performance, and provide the ability
to operate at extreme altitudes and ambient temperatures.
2.2.2 The concept of air conditioning a room, cabin or cockpit is straight forward. Examples of a
system are shown in Figures 2 and 3 (refer to Schematic and Wiring Diagrams, Section 4).
Refrigerant is the media which absorbs and rejects the room or cabin heat. By continuous
recirculation of the warm cabin air, heat is absorbed in the evaporator module(s) and is
rejected to the outside through the system condenser. When the system is turned on, the
electric motor drives the R-134A compressor at a constant speed and capacity which
compresses the R-134A refrigerant gas to a high pressure. The hot, high pressure gas then
passes through the condenser coil where it is cooled and condensed into a warm liquid at
constant pressure. The warm liquid is then routed into a receiver-dryer container where the
liquid and any remaining gas are separated and any moisture is absorbed. The warm, dry
liquid is then directed to the evaporator module expansion valve where the high pressure
liquid is expanded to a low pressure. The expansion process creates a super cool gas
which passes through the evaporator coil and absorbs heat from the warm cabin air passing
over the coils. The warm low pressure refrigerant then enters the R-134A compressor
where the process starts all over again. In addition to cooling the cabin air, a refrigerant
type system also removes a large percentage of the moisture in the air as well as removing
dust and pollen particles in the air. Thus, the system conditions the air as well as cooling it.
As a safety feature, the unit is also equipped with a binary pressure switch. This switch
prevents the unit from operating if the discharge pressure becomes excessively high. The
switch also prevents the unit from operating if the internal pressure is very low due to
leakage or low ambient temperatures.
