Compressed air is bled from the engine compressors at the LP or HP stages. The pneumatic system consists of all the systems designed to supply air to the various aircraft systems, zones or engines, with associated control, monitoring and indicating components. It supplies under pressure air for air conditioning, pressurization and ice protection system. A protection against overheat due to possible leakage around the hot air ducts is provided. AIR BLEED - Air conditioning and pressurization The system is designed to : select the compressor stage from which air is bled, depending on the pressure and/or temperature existing at these stages. regulate air pressure in order to avoid excessive pressures Air is generally bled from the low compressor stage (LP). At low engine speed when pressure from LP stage is insufficient, air source is automatically switched to the high compressor stage HP. (This may occur on ground and during descent at F.I.). Transfer of air is achieved by means of a pneumatically operated and electrically controlled butterfly valve, (HP valve) which remains closed in absence of electrical supply : when the HP valve is closed, air is directly bled from the LP stage through LP bleed air check valves. when the HP valve is open, the HP air pressure is admitted into the LP pneumatic ducting and closes the check valves ; air is therefore bled from HP stage only, without any recirculation into the engine. - Wing and engine de-icing. Air is bled from the HP compressor stage. Transfer of air is achieved through a pressure regulating valve which is electrically controlled. ISOLATION Downstream of the junction of the LP and HP ducting, air is admitted into the duct by a pneumatically operated, electrically controlled butterfly bleed valve which acts as a shut off valve. It includes a single solenod which locks the valve closed when deenergized. The bleed valve automatically closes in the following cases : - Bleed duct OVHT - Bleed duct LEAK - Actuation of associated ENG FIRE handle - Engine failure at T0 (UPTRIM signal) - PROPELLER BRAKE selected ON (for left bleed valve only). In the absence of air pressure, the valve is spring-loaded closed regardless of electrical power supply. Note : During a starting sequence, the bleed valves opening is inhibited.

CROSSFEED The crossfeed valve installed on the crossfeed duct is designed to connect LH and RH air bleed systems. R - On the ground, it is always open except when both engines are running and propeller brake is disengaged. R - In flight, the crossfeed valve is normally closed. This is a spring loaded closed, solenoid controlled, pneumatic shut off valve. The valve is closed with solenoid deenergized. LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM A continuous monitoring system is installed in order to detect overheat due to duct leakage and to protect the structure and components in the vicinity of hot air ducts: - Wing leading edge and wing to fuselage fairing. - Upper and lower fuselage floor, - Air conditioning pack area. In order to ensure rapid leak sensing, a Kevlar envelope is installed around the major part of the high temperature ducts to collect and direct leaking air to the sensing elements. The sensing system includes two single loop detection assemblies, one for the RH and one for the LH air duct systems. The sensing elements comprise a control lead (nickel wire) embedded in an insulating material and are integrated in an inconel tube connected to aircraft ground. Each sensing element is permanently subjected to the temperature of the compartment it protects. For any temperature higher than a preset value : 124_ C (255_ F) applied to a part of the sensing element, the resistance of the eutectic mixture rapidly decreases and the central lead is grounded. This results in an alert signal processed in a control unit which triggers illumination of LEAK It. After one second time delay, the associated pack valve, HP valve and BLEED valve (and GRD X FEED valve if the left loop is affected) are automatically latched closed. Note : In case of LEAK, the crew must consider the associated bleed system as inoperative for the rest of the flight. OVERHEAT CONTROL SYSTEM This system includes switches (thermal resistances) which are installed on the engines, near the HP compressors exit. These switches, which are duplicated for safety, ensure that the bleed valve and the bleed air shut-off valve are closed whenever any abnormal over temperature conditions occur. They operate at 274_ C (525_ F) and are controlled by the MFC. Note : In case of OVHT, the associated bleed system may be recovered after a cooling time.
LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM (See page 2) The maximum sensing element temperature is 153 C (307 F) instead of 124 C (255 F).

30.1 DESCRIPTION See schematics p. 13/14 and p. 15/16) AIR PRODUCTION The air conditioning system is supplied by air processed through two packs which regulate air flow and temperature as required (see page 13/14). The two packs are installed in the main landing gear fairings and operate automatically and independently. The left pack supplies the cabin and the cockpit air conditioned ; the right pack supplies only the cabin air conditioned. Note : If one pack is inoperative, the other one supplies both compartments through the mixing chamber, (see page 15/16).
Hot air from the engines is admitted through pack valves and conditioned (cooled, dried, compressed) into the packs. The pack valve is pneumatically operated and electrically controlled. This butterfly valve has two functions : - Pack shut off - Pressure control and hence flow control. Normal or high flow are available. The selection of the high flow mode increases the pack entrance pressure resulting in conditioning performance improvement. Without air pressure and regardless of electrical command, the pack valve is spring-load closed. It will also close without electrical supply. Note : Pack valves will be automatically closed in case of leak detection. cooling of air is performed : - by two ground turbo fans through turbo shut off valves when : . IAS p 150 kt and landing gear is retracted for less than 10 min. Note : In case of ENG OIL LOW PRESS, the turbo fan starts on the opposite side and is running as long as IAS p 150 kt and regardless of landing gear position. . IAS p 150 kt and landing gear is extended. - by ram air when IAS > 150 kt. Note : Incorrect position of a turbo fan shut off valve leads to closure of associated pack valve
