PNEUMATIC -- ENGINE BLEED AIR - OPERATIONAL TEST -600/900

Purpose

You do an operational test to make sure the pneumatic

components on the engine operate correctly.

During the test, you can compare engine bleed pressure

with engine speed on the duct pressure indicator and
the N1 indicator in the flight compartment.

At engine idle speed, the 9th stage supplies the bleed

air system. This is unregulated pressure. As engine
speed increases, the pressure is regulated by the high
stage valve to 32 psig. At 48% N1, the high stage valve
closes and the 5th stage check valve opens. This
provides unregulated pressure up to 42 psig. As engine
speed increases, the pressure is regulated to 42 psig
by the pressure regulating and shutoff valve.

The operational test is a health check of the engine

pneumatic system and aids in troubleshooting of the
system.

access panel. Nonstop operation of the 450F (232C) thermostat (and
the resultant low duct pressures) can result from a
Functional Description dirty or clogged precooler. Nonstop operation can also
be caused by a defective precooler control system.
The 450F (232C) thermostat operates by thermal

pressure and temperature.

Functional Description

The BAR gets unregulated air from the interstage

manifold. The unregulated air goes to the overpressure
switch and to the reference pressure regulator.

The reference pressure regulator decreases the pressure

to a constant control pressure. The control pressure
then goes to a relief valve and a latching solenoid.

The relief valve prevents damage to the PRSOV if the

reference pressure regulator has a failure.

The latching solenoid controls the flow of air to

chamber A of the PRSOV actuator and the 450F
thermostat. The PRSOV actuator opens the valve against
spring force and pressure in chamber B. The combination
of forces on the actuator cause the valve to control
the downstream pressure to 42 psi (nominal).

The 450F thermostat monitors the temperature of the

engine bleed air. If the temperature increases to 450F
(232C), the 450F thermostat opens and bleeds off
control pressure to the PRSOV. The decrease in control
pressure causes the PRSOV to move more closed and
decreases the flow of bleed air.

PNEUMATIC -- BLEED AIR PRECOOLER SYSTEM - INTRODUCTION -600/900

Purpose

The bleed air precooler system controls the temperature

of the engine bleed air before the air goes into the
pneumatic manifold.

General Description

A precooler control valve controls the fan air that

flows through the precooler. These two devices control
the precooler control valve:

- Precooler control valve sensor

- Wing thermal anti-ice (WTAI) solenoid valve.

When the pressure regulating and shutoff valve (PRSOV)

is open, bleed air goes through the precooler to the
pneumatic manifold. While the bleed air goes through
the precooler, fan air removes the heat and goes out as
fan exhaust air. The fan exhaust air flows over the
engine core.

Operation of the precooler systems is automatic.

The precooler is on the top of the engine high pressure

Functional Description

The precooler supplies a large surface area for

efficient heat transfer from the bleed air to the fan
air (heat sink).

As the engine bleed air moves through the precooler,

the bleed air gives up heat to the walls of the
precooler. The walls are made of plates and fins.
Engine fan air that goes through the precooler on the
other side of the walls, removes the heat and carries
it away. Heat transfer goes from the bleed air, to the
precooler walls, to the fan air. The fan air then flows

Purpose The sensor ball valve starts to open at 390F (199C) and
is full open at 440F (227C).
The precooler control valve sensor controls the
movement of the precooler control valve. The open sensor ball valve bleeds off pressure to
operate the precooler control valve actuator. This
Physical Description causes the precooler control valve to move in the open
direction by spring force.
The precooler control valve sensor is a bleed-off
thermostat. It has these parts:

- Ball valve assembly

- Sense line connection
- Mounting flange with index pin
- Shielded sensor section.

Location

The sensor is in the engine bleed air strut duct

downstream of the precooler. Access is through a strut
access panel.

Functional Description

The precooler control valve sensor operates by thermal

expansion of fluid. The lower part of the sensor is in
the bleed air duct downstream of the precooler. This
part of the sensor has oil-filled sense coils. As heat
causes the oil to expand, the oil pushes the ball valve
in the upper part of the sensor to open. The higher the
duct temperature, the more the oil expands, and the
more the ball valve opens.

The wing thermal anti-icing system prevents ice

formation on the wing leading edge during ground
operations and in flight. During flight, there is a
large airflow across the wing. This airflow has a
cooling effect on the leading edges. The wing thermal
anti-icing system heat output is enough to keep this
cooling effect to a limit.

When the bleed air isolation valve switch is in the

AUTO position, the control of the isolation valve comes
from these air conditioning panel switches:

- R PACK switch
- L PACK switch
- ENG 1 BLEED switch
- ENG 2 BLEED switch.

When the isolation valve switch is in AUTO, these

switches supply the logic to control the bleed air
isolation valve position.

When all the toggle switches are in the AUTO, HIGH, or

ON positions, the valve closes.

The control circuit shows a typical cruise condition.

The bleed air isolation valve stays closed. In this
configuration, the pneumatic manifold divides into a
left and right side. This prevents one pneumatic duct
