21-00-00 AIR CONDITIONING Optional Freon air conditioning is a separate, add-on system
which does not use any of the ducting or components used
INTRODUCTION by the basic heating and ventilation system. It will be dis­
cussed at the end of this chapter.
This chapter describes the air-conditioning and pneumatic The pneumatic power systems and subsystems of the Twin
systems installed in the DHC-6 Twin Otter Series 300 air­ Otter series vary somewhat according to model and modifi­
planes. For descriptive purposes, air conditioning is divided cation status. Technicians are advised to compare the

aircraft used bleed air for pressure instruments.

GENERAL

There are two different designs of heating and ventilation sys­


tems. Early pre mod 6/1070 production aircraft before 136
are outfitted with the first design. These aircraft can be rec­
ognized by the presence of small ram air scoops for passen­
ger air gasper outlets located on the upper sides of the fuse­
lage just aft of the flight compartment doors and a Naca flush
air inlet duct fonNard of the left crew door below the flight
compartment floor. All subsequent post mod aircraft were
equipped with the newer heating and ventilation design,
which replaced the sidewall scoops with a protruding left side
ram air scoop below the flight compartment floor and a vent
fan by mod 6/1181 for ground operations. Control and opera­
tion of both systems is identical during flight operations.

21-00-00 PNEUMATIC SUBSYSTEMS NOTES

General

In general, there is only one source of engine bleed air.


Figure 1 shows the engine bleed air installation.

21-00-00 ENGINE BLEED AIR

Air is obtained from the engine bleed port on the gas gen­
erator case of the left and right engines. Bleed air is
directed through both wings into a common manifold in
the fuselage above the ceiling (Figure 2) for distribution to
the installed pneumatic subsystems. The typical Series
300 aircraft would have standard heat with ventilation and
may include the pneumatic operated airframe deicing and
H14 autopilot systems if installed.

21-00-00 HEAT AND VENTILATION

The heating source for the heat and ventilation system is


supplied from a bleed-air manifold interconnecting the
bleed ports on the left and right engines. All heating and
cooling system components are located below the flight
compartment floor. Hot bleed air is directed below the
flight compartment, where it is conditioned and then rout­
ed forward to the different outlets in the flight or cabin
compartments. Switches on the main switch panel locat­
ed on the overhead console (Figure 3) control the heat
and vent system.

21-00-00 AIRFRAME DEICING

If the Optional Modification S.O.O. 6004, Airframe De­


icing system is installed it will be pneumatically operated
and electrically controlled. The pneumatic source for the
system is tapped from the common bleed air duct above
the cabin ceiling before being pressure-regulated to the
value required for deicer boot operation. The Airframe De­
ice system is controlled by a group of switches on the
main switch panel. This subject is covered in depth in
Chapter 30.

General

Engine P3 bleed air used for cabin heating and airframe r.Ot.FflCIO VI\ \IE

deicing is obtained directly from the engine compressor


through with a bleed air duct attached to the engine cas­
ing at the 11 o'clock position. The bleed-air supply from
each engine is controlled by a bleed air shutoff valve
(Figure 4) installed in the bleed air duct forward of the
nacelle firewall (Figure 1 ). The bleed air valves are con­
trolled by switches labelled BLEED AIR Land BLEED AIR
R located on the overhead console switch panel (Figure
3). The switches, toggled locked in the open (forward)
position and pulled out before moving to the off (rearward) VAL�E SEATING SURFACE

position, are protected by 5 amp circuit breakers labelled


BLEED AIR L and BLEED AIR R located on the main cir­
cuit breaker panel.

Bleed-Air Shutoff Valve Operation

■n■
LEGEND
BLEED AIR
Air flow through the bleed-air shutoff valve cylinder is con­ AMBIENr PRESSVRC
trolled by the solenoid valve (Figure 4). When the sole­ MOVING Po\RT

noid valve is energized, port A (at ambient pressure) is


connected to port B. This creates a differential pressure
between the two sides of the spring-loaded piston by
bleeding off air on the cylinder side of the piston to the
Figure 4. Bleed-Air Shutoff Valve
atmosphere.

01 FEB 06 Revision 2

SERIES 100/200/300

Bleed-Air Shutoff Valve Operation (Continued) NOTES

An applied upstream pressure overcomes the spring ten­


sion and forces the piston into the cylinder, unseating the
valve disc from the seating surface. When the solenoid
valve coil is deenergized, port "A" closes and through
internal passages pressure on the cylinder side of the pis­
ton increases to equal upstream pressure. Since pressure
on both sides of the piston is equal, the compressed
spring forces the piston out of the cylinder and seats the
valve disc against the valve seating surface. When the
valve is closed completely, the spring force is supple­
mented by a force equal to the upstream pressure to keep
the valve closed.

NOTE

Engine bleed-air temperature and pressure at


the bleed-air port vary according to engine
power setting.

Operation Mod 6/1266

The hot engine bleed air temperature is controlled with an


automatic two port temperature control-mixing valve with
bleed air received at different temperatures. One pipe
supplying hot bleed air directly to one port of the mixing
valve and the other pipe providing cooled air to the other
port of the mixing valve. Lower air temperature obtained
using a finned pipe to dissipate heat with air circulating
within the nacelle/cowling area. When the bleed-air outlet
temperature is 270 ° F or less, the hot port is open and the
cold port is closed. When bleed-air temperature increas­
es to between 270 and 300"F, the hot port closes and the
cold port opens. When the bleed-air temperature exceeds
350 °F, both ports will close preventing further bleed air­
flow through the system. The air control-mixing valve will
automatically operate again when the outlet air tempera­
ture decreases below 350 ° F.

"De Vore" Bleed Air Duct Post Mod 6/1482

The lower schematic in Figure 5 shows the present wing


bleed-air configuration. The original wing bleed-air duct
from the engine nacelle to the fuselage is replaced by a
De Vore shroud and inner duct (Figure 6) by SFAR 23
mod 6/1482 at aircraft 411. This design provides an air
space between the inner air duct supplying the engine hot
bleed air and the outer shroud. Should a rupture occur to
the inner air duct the hot bleed air is immediately vented
outboard through a vent pipe located between the outer Figure 6. De Vore Shroud Installations

shroud and the wing lower skin. A later improvement by


mod 6/1614 (S/B 6/355) at aircraft 514 replaced the orig­
inal ''De Vore" duct with a new "De Vore" duct complete
with bellows to eliminate cracking. Material expansion
caused by heat passing through the duct is now compen­
sated with bellow movement. The ''De Vore" duct returned
cabin air temperature to its original level improving cabin
comfort especially during winter operations.

Fuselage Bleed-Air Duct Assembly

The ducts and respective shutoff valves (located in the


engine nacelles) are routed through the wings between
the nose and front wing spars to join a tee duct in the
cabin roof (Figure 7). Check valves are installed in each Check Valve Location
end of the tee duct to prevent a differential pressure situ­
ation occurring (reverse flow) should a single engine
flame out situation arise. From the tee duct a common
supply duct is routed forward, above the cabin ceiling and
down the left side of the cabin to the flight compartment
bulkhead, to connect with the hot-air valve located under
the flight compartment floor. The ducts in the fuselage are
sealed and insulated with fibreglass to exclude fluids and
reduce the effect of heat with adjacent structure. A tapping
into the bleed-air duct, in the cabin roof at station 177.00,
provides a pressure point for an 18-psi pressure reduction

for operation.

Hot-Air Valve

The hot-air valve (Figure 8), connected between the


bleed-air duct assembly and the expansion chamber, is
located below the flight compartment floor in line with the
pilot seat.The valve is a motorized butterfly valve, which
takes approximately 30 seconds to move through its full
90 ° range-of-travel, thus providing control and sensitivity.
The valve operation can be controlled automatically by
the temperature controller located above the cabin ceiling
or by selecting the control switch to manual if necessary.

Expansion Chamber

The expansion chamber (Figure 9), which reduces bleed­

nected to the outlet of the hot-air valve. Air entering the
inner duct passes through perforations into a chamber
formed by the outer duct. Air is then directed to the outlet
end of the expansion chamber incorporating nozzles pro­
truding into the ejector. The nozzles induce suction or
venturi type operation in the ejector area to generate a
movement of recirculated cabin air from the Flight
Compartment footwell area into the ejector.

21-40-00 PRIMARY HEATING

General

Primary heating uses hot compressed P3 bleed air from


tapping on both engine compressor casings, mixes the
bleed air with secondary air (ram, fan pressure, or recir­
culated air) to a selected temperature, and distributes it to
outlets in the cabin and flight compartment.

The system (Figure 10) consists of an ejector, a silencer,


a cabin air control valve, ducts, and perforated heater
ducts along each side the cabin at floor level to the rear
cabin door area.

21-40-00 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Ejector

The ejector (Figure 11 ), located laterally across the fuse­


lage below the flight compartment floor, forms the mixing
chamber for recirculated air. The nozzles, protruding into
the ejector and the ejector diffuser, induce a suction,
which draws in recirculated air from the flight compart­
ment when ram air or fan pressure aie is not being used
as the secondary air source. The recirculated-air duct,
connected between the intake in the flight compartment
footwell and the rear of the ejector, incorporates and inter­
nal silencer and check valve.The check valve is the flap­
per door on the opening into the footwell. Figure 11. Ejector and Recirculated Air Duct Installation

Silencer

The silencer is located longitudinally below the flight com­


partment; its bifurcated inlet connects to the ram air duct
and the ejector outlet. The silencer outlet incorporates the
cabin air control valve (Figure 12), connectes to the dis­
tribution duction. Two smaller outlets on the silencer pro­
vide for the connection of the flight compartment, wind­
shield and footwarmer ducts. Provision is also made on
the silencer for the installation of a temperature control
system sensor and an overheat switch.

Cabin Air Control Valve

The cabin air control valve is located in the silencer outlet


duct and controls the supply of warm air or cooling air to
the cabin. The valve is manually operated by a knob
behind the Co-pilot's seat (Figure 13). Closing the valve
(by pulling up the knob fully up) allows all available airflow
to be directed into the flight compartment

Ducts

The heating system ducts (Figure 14) consist of aluminum


alloy and polycarbonate tubes, which lead from the
silencer to the pilot's and co-pilot's footwarmers, the wind­
shield heater and the cabin heater ducts. Figure 13. Cabin Air Valve Control Knob Location

Outlets

The heating system outlets connect to the terminating


ends of the windshield, crew and cabin heating system
ducts. The outlets are polycarbonate materials formed to
provide a suitable diffused airflow. The windshield outlets
are integrated with the glareshield above the instrument
panel, and the crew footwarmer outlets are at floor level
and direct their flow towards the rudder pedals. The cabin
outlets are box section ducts, which extend from the flight
compartment/cabin bulkhead wall rearward at the base of
each wall.

General

Cooling the cabin area during flight is achieved with cool


Figure 16. Ram-Air Scoop
ambient temperature ram-air entering the air duct through
a protruding air scoop on the left side of the nose section
(Figures 16, 17 and 20). Cool air bypasses the silencer
chamber to supply air directly to ducts above the left and
right sides of the fuselage(Figure 18). The cabin cool air­
flow is individually controlled for passengers' comfort with
Gasper outlet adjustment. The volume of cool ram air
entering the cabin area can be adjusted with the position
of the manually operated ram-air valve. The valve position
is controlled by a lever installed on the Flight
Compartment pedestal (Figure 19) adjacent to the pilot.
During ground operation a fan replaces the ram air scoop
effect during flight to provide an external air supply to the
cabin at ambient temperature.

Early pre mod 6/1181 aircraft prior to 136 do not incorpo­


rate the ground operable fan. Cabin cooling is only
obtained during flight with protruding air scoops installed
on each side of the upper fuselage area aft of the flight
compartment. Although larger scoops with small fans
were installed on a number of aircraft to reduce the cabin
temperature during ground operation, the change did not
provide the necessary degree of passenger comfort in
high temperature environments.

Stale air is exhausted through a grille in the headliner to


above the ceiling area to exit through the rearward-facing
vent (Figure 28) installed on the fuselage roof at station
177.0. The airflow over the vent during flight produces a
venturi force to induce a flow of stale or contaminated air
through the vent to ntmosphcre. Vents in the rear bag­
gage compartment area also provide a path to exhaust
cabin air.

continue to respond to computed signals as long as the


temperature controller is in the automatic mode.

On aircraft equipped with an airframe de-icing, a dual­


pressure switch is required to sense the regulated air
pressure (MSM- ''Automatic Temperature Control System
Component Locations"). When the pressure drops to
approximately 25 psi, one part of the dual switch closes
and inhibits further movement of the hot-air mixing valve
toward the open position. If pressure continues to
decrease and reaches 20 psi, the second part of the
switch closes and completes a circuit to close the hot-air
mixing valve. The dual pressure switch will only control
the hot air valve operation when selected to automatic
mode.

General

The pneumatic package is located on the left side of the


cabin roof approximately at station 177 .00 (Figure 40).
The pressure supply for the pneumatic package is tapped
from the bleed-air system line on the left side of the cabin
roof. The pneumatic package consists of a heat exchang­
er, pressure regulator, strainer, dual pressure switch
assembly, low-pressure switch, and connecting pipelines.

21-00-00 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger (Figure 41) is a rearward facing


airscoop mounted on top of the fuselage at station
177 .00. The double walls of the air scoop and the internal
baffle system form the heat exchanger unit. Bleed air
enters the heat exchanger through the outboard pipe and
is directed through the baffle system exposing the hot air
to the entire surface area of the inner and outer walls of
the scoop. Airflow passing over the warm surfaces during
flight dissipates the heat from the bleed air. The cooled air
leaves the heat exchanger through the inboard pipe.

Dual-Pressure Switch

The dual-pressure switch assembly (located in-line from


the heat exchanger) consists of two switches, each con­
nected to the automatic temperature controller. When the
pressure to the P3 pneumatic system falls below about 25 CIUl,L­
swnci,
psi, one of the switches opens to prevent the motorised
Mn"O'll.CJf
hot air valve from further increasing the hot air flow to the PR6RIRE � .-,...-

cabin system.If the pressure falls below 20 psi, the sec­


ond switch actuates to close the hot-air valve to retain the
pneumatic pressure supply for optional systems such as
Airframe de-icing or H14 Autopilot if installed. In Manual
mode the dual pressure switch will not effect the
motorised hot air valve operation.

Strainer

The strainer incorporates a 60-mesh wire element located


in the cooled pressure line from the heat exchanger
before the intake port of the pressure regulator to prevent
impurities in the bleed air entering the pneumatic system.

Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator is mounted on a plate, which is


secured to the cabin roof (Figure 42). It is set to regulate
the pneumatic system to 18 psi. A safety relief valve on
the pressure regulator is set to relieve pressure at 25 psi
should the regulator section fail.

Low�Pressure Switch

The low-pressure switch (located inline at the exit of the


pressure regulator) is set to illuminate a caution light
should the regulated pressure drop to between 13 and 15
psi. When pressure increases to between 16 and 18 psi,
the switch contacts open to extinguish the caution light.

Early model Casco fans had an on-off switch on the fan


body. Later model Casco fans by mod 6/1238 (TAB 604/2)
did not have a switch.

ing over the condenser unit. The high-pressure liquid
Freon flows through a dehydrator removing water
droplets from the Freon liquid before passing through the
expansion valve. The expansion valve converts the liquid AIR �ClNDITIOl,lflG

to a high-pressure cold vapour as it passes through the


evaporator coils. The evaporator fan draws cabin recircu­
lated air across the evaporator coils to cool the air. With
the heat of the air transferred to the Freon, the cool air is
directed into the duct system by the evaporator fan for
distribution in the cabin. The Freon gases in a low-pres­
sure vapour state begin the cycle once again as they
enter the compressor.

Operation is normally controlled by a pressure switch


which cycles the compressor on and off within a prede­
termined range. If the pressure switch fails or if other mal­
functions occur, a thermostatic switch in the evaporator
plenum cycles the system within a safe temperature
range. The pressure switch and the thermostatic switch
are in series in the compressor power circuit. Both must
close before the compressor can operate.
