Section 9. Climate Control
9.5.3 Air Conditioning
GENERAL
Cockpit and cabin cooling and humidity control is provided by the air conditioning sub
system. There are two evaporators in the aircraft. The forward evaporator is located
under the throttle quadrant for cockpit cooling. The aft evaporator is located under the
baggage compartment floor for cabin cooling.
Other air conditioning components, including the compressor and condenser
assembly, are located in the forward equipment bay outside the pressure vessel.
Two air conditioning doors are located on the right hand side of the aircraft nose. An
inward opening condenser inlet door allows intake of ambient air used for cooling
during ground operations. After the ambient air is routed through the condenser it is
exhausted through an outward opening outlet door.
Each evaporator incorporates a three-speed (LOW, MED, HIGH), 28 volt DC fan that
is automatically controlled by the ACS, or manually controlled by the pilot through the
ENVIR synoptic.
Air conditioning operation is inhibited at high altitude. As the aircraft climbs through
29,000 ft, the air conditioning automatically shuts down and automatically restarts
when the airplane descends through 28,000 ft.
In the event that a component of the air conditioning system fails, an AIR
CONDITIONING FAIL advisory message appears.
