consumers:
Human Factor Point:
- the two Air Generator Units (AGUs),
- the Wing Anti-Ice (WAI) system,
WARNING: Before supplying air by external source or APU make sure
- the hydraulic system for reservoir pressurization,
that one cockpit window or cabin door is open and the
- the engine starting system to supply compressed air to the engine starters,

- the unpressurized bay ventilation.
The air sources are:
- the four engines,
- the APU,
- three High Pressure ground connectors (three inch of diameter).
The Pneumatic Air Distribution System (PADS) gives:
- the crossbleed pipe,
- the three crossbleed valves (left, center and right),
- the APU isolation valve,
- and the HP ground connectors.
The Engine Bleed Air Systems (EBASs) control their supplied air pressure
between 45 and 55 psi. The engine bleed Pressure Regulated Valve (PRV)
is in charge of the pressure control while the Over-Pressure Valve (OPV)
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM36DVLEVEL0201
protects the system against over-pressure. The OPV closes when pressure
is above 80 psi and prevents from PRV high-pressure drift.
The temperature of engine bleed air is regulated by the system control at
a value lower than 200C; the pre-cooler exchanger decreases the
temperature of hot bleed air with the cooling air from engine fan.
Temperature sensors fulfill the temperature measurement for the control
system.
There are two engine bleed sources:
- the low pressure port is plugged to the IP compressor of the engine,
- the high pressure port is plugged to the HP compressor.

PNEUMATIC AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Pneumatic Air Distribution System (continued)
Ground Service Placement
During the ground service operations, to supply HP air to the A/C,
the HP ground cart is:
- parked on the forward LH side of the A/C belly fairing, near the
passenger bridges,
- and connected to the HP ground connectors.
PNEUMATIC AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - GROUND SERVICE PLACEMENT

Engine and Ground Bleed System
The engine and ground bleed sources are controlled by the PADS
application of the CPIOMs.
The status of the PADS and the EBASs are shown on the ECAM BLEED
page.
All the EBASs, CPIOMs, crossbleed valves and the air panel are supplied
in 28 VDC ESS BUS.
ENGINE AND GROUND BLEED SYSTEM

APU Bleed System
The APU air system supplies compressed air to the aircraft pneumatic
system. Airflow coming from the APU is regulated and can be used
directly by the users if the crossbleed selector is in the AUTO position.
The APU bleed can be selected in the cockpit by pressing the APU
BLEED P/BSW.
Once the APU BLEED P/BSW is pressed in, the APU BLEED VALVE
opens and the Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) start to regulate the airflow
through the load compressor.
To avoid load compressor surge conditions, the surge control valve
releases air to the exhaust when it is necessary.
The APU bleed duct is connected to the LH side of the crossbleed
manifold.
The APU isolation valve allows compressed air from the APU to go to
the crossbleed manifold.
By pressing the APU BLEED P/BSW located on the AIR panel, the APU
bleed air supply is activated. The four CPIOM-A, which command the
APU isolation valve to open, receive the signal. At the same time, the
Electronic Control Box (ECB) receives data through the Avionics Data
Communication Network (ADCN) or with discrete signal to command
the opening of the APU bleed valve.
If there is a leak, the system is protected by a specific leak system loop.

distribution system. The air is temperature controlled for the best
comfort of passengers and crew.
The TCS adjusts and controls the temperature of the air in the lower
deck cargo compartments for the transport of sensitive cargo. The
TCS controls the air ventilation system of the cargo compartments.
The Main Deck/ Upper Deck TCS includes 15 cabin temperature
zones and a cockpit temperature zone.
For regulation several temperature sensors are installed as follows:
- seven temperature sensors in the upper deck (UD1 to UD7)
- eight temperature sensors in the main deck (MD1 to MD8)
- one temperature sensor in the flight deck
The TCS applications in the CPIOM-Bs control all functions of the
TCS.
The zone temperature sensors for the cockpit, MD2, MD5, UD2, UD6
directly transmit the sensed actual temperatures to the TCS application.
The zone temperature sensors for the other zones transmit the sensed
actual temperatures to the Cabin Intercommunication System (CIDS)
directors.
Both TCS and CIDS then share all actual cabin temperatures data.
During system operation, target temperatures can be selected for all
16 cockpit/cabin zones from the AIR panel located in the cockpit
or/and from the Flight Attendant Panels (FAPs) located in the cabin.
The TCS transmits (via the ADCN) the fault messages from the BITE
to the Central Maintenance System (CMS) for failure isolation, failure
memorization and reports generation.

These fans are controlled in variable speed depending on air
temperature.
Two back-up valves are installed to let the air be supplied from the
Mixer Unit.
In case of one blowing fan failure, the associated back-up valve
automatically opens and the related circuit supplies air coming from

The activation of the redundant circuit is not covered by an ECAM
caution in the cockpit.
Two Cooling Effect Detectors (CEDs) activate the ECAM caution,
when the cooling capacity (flow and temperature) is abnormally low.
On ground, the CEDs also activate the external ground horn and the
external "AVNCS VENT" light installed in the 3000VU on the Nose

A pressure sensor integrated in the blowing fan, monitors the filter
pressure drop, and the system software determines the remaining
operational time before clogging.
Clogging of the air filters may be also detected by the CEDs and
covered by the associated ECAM caution.
When the cooling capacity (air temperature or/and air flow) of the
blown air is not satisfactory, a CED (one for each circuit) sends a

System Architecture/Description
Generation Of Cold
Two Central Refrigeration Units, containing a condenser and an
evaporator, generate the cooling capacity using outside air.
In flight, the condenser of the Central Refrigeration Unit is cooled by
the airflow from the NACA inlet to the RAM air outlet.
On ground, an actuator opens the ground inlet flap of the related
Central Refrigeration Unit and two fans fulfill the airflow through the
condenser. The actuator closes the flap before flight.
The evaporator in each Central Refrigeration Unit transfers the
generated cold to the coolant fluid.

WING ANTI-ICE DESCRIPTION (2)

Pneumatic Sources
The Wing Anti-Ice (WAI) system prevents the accumulation of ice on
the leading edges of the slats No 4, thereby providing ice protection in
front of the outer aileron. The system uses bleed-air from the engines to
heat the slats. The WAI system normally gets its bleed-air supply from
the outer engines (engine 1 & 4) bleed air ducting. The air is then fed via
a telescopic duct to slat No 4 LH and RH.
Piccolo tubes within the slats supply an even distribution of bleed air
directed onto the inner surface of the slat skin. The flow of engine bleed
air to the WAI system in each wing is controlled via a pressure regulating
WAI control valve. A second, redundant, valve is included into the system
to give increased system availability.
If the bleed-air supply is not available, it is supplied from either the inner
engines on the same wing via a cross-feed system, or engines on the other
wing through a cross-bleed system. The bleed-air can also be supplied
from the APU or from the HP ground carts.
