2.20 Air Systems-Air Conditioning System Description

Introduction to Air Conditioning System
The air conditioning system supplies conditioned bleed air and recirculated cabin
air at a controlled temperature throughout the airplane.
The system supplies conditioned air to the flight deck shoulder heaters.
The system supplies ventilation for the cabin:
• lavatories
• galleys.
Pack control, zone temperature control, cabin air recirculation, fault detection, and
overheat protection are all automatic.
The airplane is divided into four temperature zones: the flight deck and three cabin
zones.

Air Conditioning Packs

Two identical air conditioning packs cool bleed air from the engines, APU, or high
pressure air from a ground source. Bleed air is precooled before entering the pack.
The packs are controlled by two identical pack controllers. Pack output is
automatically increased during high pack demand periods (to compensate for a
failed pack or recirculation fan), or limited during high bleed air demand periods
(such as with an engine inoperative).
Air Conditioning Automatic Mode
With the pack selector in the AUTO position, pack output temperature is
determined by the left and right cabin temperature controllers:
Air Conditioning Standby Mode
With the pack selector in the standby mode, pack output temperature is determined
by the position of the pack selector:
• N (normal) - constant, moderate temperature
• C (cool) - full cold
• W (warm) - full warm.
Ground Conditioned Air Operation
When a ground source of conditioned air is available, it may be used to supply
conditioned air directly to the cabin distribution system, eliminating the need for
pack operation.

Pack Non–Normal Operation

Pack control, fault detection, and overheat protection are all automatic.
The pack INOP light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or R PACK
TEMP displays for all pack control system faults and overheats.
When an automatic control system fault or a pack outlet overheat is detected, the
pack continues to operate in an uncontrolled, degraded condition, requiring crew
interaction.
The pack valve closes and the pack is shut down automatically when an internal
pack overheat is detected. The PACK OFF light illuminates and the EICAS
advisory message L or R PACK OFF displays in addition to the PACK TEMP
indications.
If the INOP light remains illuminated after selecting STBY, the fault is a pack
overheat. After the pack has cooled, an attempt to restore pack operation may be
made by pushing the PACK RESET switch.

Air Distribution
Conditioned air from the packs flows into a mix manifold where it mixes with air
from two recirculation fans. Recirculation fans maintain overall cabin air
circulation while allowing a reduction of cabin air ventilation, permitting the
packs to be operated at a reduced flow. The mixed air is then ducted into the cabin.
The recirculation fans may be turned off for several minutes to provide a more
rapid exchange of air.
The recirculation fan INOP light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L
or R RECIR FAN displays whenever a recirculation fan fails or is not operating.
A slight increase in fuel consumption occurs for each fan that is OFF.

Temperature Control
The airplane is divided into four temperature control zones:
• flight deck
• forward cabin
• mid cabin
• aft cabin.
The pack controllers regulate the pack output air temperature to satisfy the
temperature requirement of the compartment requiring the coolest air. Hot trim air
from the bleed air system is added through trim air valves to control the
temperature in each of the other compartments. Each temperature control
compartment has an associated temperature control.

Page 3
 Boeing B767 - Systems Summary [Air Systems]

A compartment INOP light illuminates, and the EICAS advisory message FLT
DECK TEMP, FWD CABIN TEMP, MID CABIN TEMP, or AFT CABIN TEMP
displays to indicate:
• zone temperature controller failure
• trim air switch is OFF
• compartment temperature control is in the OFF position (FWD, MID, and
AFT CAB only).
Temperature Control With Loss of Trim Air System
During operation with the trim air system off, the packs attempt to maintain all
compartments at an average temperature. The trim air OFF light illuminates and
the EICAS advisory message TRIM AIR displays when a TRIM AIR switch is off.

Gasper System
[Gasper System description included when the Gasper Fan Switch option is
installed.]
The gasper system draws air from the forward cabin overhead air conditioning
ducts and discharges it from gasper outlets in the passenger service units located
above each passenger seat. Gasper air is controlled by the GASPER fan switch.

Equipment Cooling System

Forward Equipment Cooling
The forward equipment cooling system supplies cooling air to equipment in the
forward electronic equipment racks and the flight deck avionics.
System operation is automatic with the EQUIP COOLING selector in AUTO.
On the ground, engine operation, pack operation, air/ground logic, airplane skin
temperature and ambient temperature are all factors that determine system
configuration. A supply fan and an exhaust fan either recirculate the cooling air
back through the system, or port it overboard.
In flight, only the exhaust fan operates, and the air is recirculated through the
system.
Non-Normal Operation
The VALVE light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message FWD EQPT VAL
displays if the system valves fail to reconfigure during automatic operation.
Placing the EQUIP COOLING selector in STBY provides an alternate command
to reconfigure the system for recirculating the cooling air back through the
system,.
The OVHT light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message FWD EQPT
OVHT displays if low airflow or high temperature is sensed. Placing the EQUIP
COOLING selector in STBY may correct the condition by reconfiguring the
system.
The SMOKE light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message FWD EQPT
SMOKE displays if smoke is sensed in the forward equipment cooling ducts.
Placing the EQUIP COOLING selector in OVRD allows conditioned air to be
drawn in reverse through the system by differential pressure and exhausted
overboard.
The NO COOLING light illuminates and the EICAS caution message FWD EQPT
COOLING displays if no cooling airflow is sensed after selecting OVRD.

Cargo Heat System

The forward and aft cargo compartments are provided heat from the bleed air
system.
The forward, aft, and bulk cargo compartments are provided heat from the bleed
air system.

Page 6
 Boeing B767 - Systems Summary [Air Systems]

Normal Operation
Separate switches control a shutoff valve and a heat control valve in each
compartment. The system automatically maintains compartment temperature
above approximately 45°F (7°C).
Bulk Cargo Heat Selector
[When the Bulk Cargo Heat option is installed, the Bulk Cargo Heat Panel
will contain either the NORM/VENT selector switch or the
CARGO/ANIMAL selector switch.]
A BULK CARGO HEAT selector allows a higher temperature to be selected for
the bulk compartment. With the selector in the NORM position, the bulk
compartment operates the same as the forward and aft compartments. With the
selector in the VENT position, the bulk compartment is maintained above
approximately 65°F (18°C), and a vent fan draws cabin discharge air into the
compartment.
A BULK CARGO HEAT selector allows a higher temperature to be selected for
the bulk compartment. With the selector in the CARGO position, the bulk
compartment operates the same as the forward and aft compartments. With the
selector in the ANIMAL position, the bulk compartment is maintained above
approximately 65°F (18°C), and a vent fan draws cabin discharge air into the
compartment.
Non-Normal Operation
[This paragraph applies to aircraft without the Bulk Cargo Heat option.]
The cargo heat switch OVHT light illuminates, and the EICAS advisory message
FWD or AFT CARGO OVHT displays when the cargo compartment temperature
is above the standard control range. The compartment shutoff valve closes
automatically if a compartment temperature exceeds approximately 90°F (32°C).
When the compartment temperature decreases below the overheat temperature
setting, the OVHT light extinguishes, the EICAS message is removed, and the
compartment shutoff valve re–opens.

2.30 Air Systems-Pressurization System Description

Introduction to Pressurization System
Cabin pressurization is controlled by adjusting the discharge of conditioned cabin
air through the outflow valve.
Positive pressure relief valves and negative pressure relief doors protect the
fuselage against excessive pressure differential.
The pressurization system has automatic and manual operating modes.

Pressurization System Automatic Operation

The pressurization system is in the automatic mode when the cabin altitude mode
selector is set to AUTO 1 or AUTO 2. If the selected auto mode fails, control is
automatically switched to the other auto mode.
In the automatic mode, the pressurization system uses ambient pressure data from
the air data system in conjunction with the selected cabin auto rate, the takeoff
altitude and the indicated landing altitude to calculate the cabin pressurization
schedule.
Takeoff
For takeoff, the system supplies a small positive pressurization to cause a smooth
cabin altitude transition.
Climb
During climb, cabin altitude increases on a schedule related to the takeoff field
elevation, airplane altitude, and the selected auto climb rate limit.
If the maximum cabin pressure differential is reached, cabin climb rate becomes
a function of airplane climb rate, while maintaining the maximum differential
pressure.
Cruise
Shortly after the airplane levels off, the system enters the cruise mode. The landing
altitude and the scheduled cabin altitude are compared and the higher of these two
is selected for the cruise cabin altitude. If necessary, the cabin climbs to the cruise
cabin altitude at one–half the auto rate or descends to the cruise cabin altitude at
the auto rate.
The cruise cabin altitude does not change for minor altitude variations. A
significant altitude change causes the system to re–enter the climb mode or to
enter the descent mode.

Page 8
 Boeing B767 - Systems Summary [Air Systems]

Descent and Landing

During descent, cabin altitude decreases to slightly below the selected landing
altitude. This ensures that the airplane lands pressurized. Landing altitude
barometric pressure correction comes from the captain’s altimeter.
At touchdown, the outflow valve opens to depressurize the airplane.

Non–Normal Indications
If the cabin altitude climbs above 10,000 feet, the CABIN ALT and CABIN
ALTITUDE lights illuminate and the EICAS warning message CABIN
ALTITUDE displays. The lights extinguish and the EICAS message blanks when
the cabin altitude descends below 8,500 feet.
The AUTO INOP light illuminates and the EICAS caution message CABIN
AUTO INOP displays when automatic pressurization control fails or when cabin
altitude MODE SELECT is MAN. Manual operation is required if the automatic
system fails.
Only the automatic mode is equipped with an aneroid switch that automatically
closes the outflow valve when the cabin exceeds 11,000 feet. The manual mode
has no auto closure feature.
To operate the pressurization system manually:
• set the cabin altitude MODE SELECT to MAN
• hold the cabin altitude MANUAL control to CLIMB to move the outflow
valve toward open and cause the cabin altitude to climb
• hold the cabin altitude MANUAL control to DESCEND to move the
outflow valve toward closed and cause the cabin altitude to descend.

2.40 Air Systems-Bleed Air System Description

Introduction to Bleed Air System
Bleed air can be supplied by the engines, APU, or a ground air source.
Bleed air is used for:
• air conditioning
• pressurization
• engine start
• wing and engine anti–ice
• center hydraulic system air driven pump (ADP)
• hydraulic reservoir pressurization
• thrust reversers

Engine Bleed Air Supply

Engine bleed air comes from either the high pressure (HP) or the low pressure
(LP) engine compressor sections. LP air is used during high power setting
operations. HP air is used during descent and other low power setting operations.
The engine bleed air valves are armed when the engine bleed switches are selected
ON. The valves are pressure actuated and remain closed until engine bleed air
pressure is sufficient to cause forward flow. The valves may close when the APU
is starting either engine. The valves may close when ground pneumatic air is
connected or during periods of low engine bleed air demand, such as when the air
conditioning packs are off.
The engine bleed air OFF light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or
R ENG BLEED OFF displays when the engine bleed air valve is closed for a
system fault.
The OVHT light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or R ENG BLD
OVHT displays when the engine bleed air temperature is excessive.
The BLEED light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or R ENG
HPSOV displays when the engine high pressure bleed air valve is open when
commanded closed.
The BLEED light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or R ENG PRV
displays when the pressure regulating valve is open when commanded closed.

Page 10
 Boeing B767 - Systems Summary [Air Systems]

APU Bleed Air Supply

APU bleed air is used primarily during ground operations for air conditioning
pack operation and engine starting. In flight, APU bleed air is available up to
approximately 17,000 feet.
The check valve in the APU supply line prevents reverse flow of bleed air from
the duct into the APU.
The VALVE light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message APU BLEED
VAL displays when the APU bleed valve position disagrees with the commanded
position.

Ground Pneumatic Air Supply

External connectors are provided to connect a ground source of high pressure air
directly to the bleed air duct.
Check valves prevent reverse flow of bleed air from the bleed air duct to the
connectors.

Bleed Air Duct System

The duct pressure indicator displays the pressure in the left and right bleed air
ducts.
Isolation valves separate the bleed air ducts into isolated segments. The left and
right isolation valves are normally closed except for engine start or single bleed
source operation. The center isolation valve normally remains open.
The isolation VALVE lights illuminate and the EICAS advisory message C, L or
R BLD ISLN VAL displays when the bleed isolation valve position disagrees with
the commanded position.
The DUCT LEAK light illuminates and the EICAS caution message L or R BLD
DUCT LEAK, BODY DUCT LEAK or STRUT DCT LEAK displays when a
high temperature bleed air leak is detected.
