AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The optional air conditioning system consists of the
following major components:
a pair of evaporators, an elec-
trically driven compressor and condenser module and control
panel.
The control panel, located on the right instrument
panel, provides two switches for the selection of the AIR
CONDITIONING or VENTILATE mode and for blower speed control.
As the system is electrically driven, it is important to
monitor the voltammeter to prevent battery discharge.
The evaporators are located on the aft baggage shelf and
direct conditioned air into the cabin.
The compressor and
condenser module, located in the aft cabin, liquify the Freon
gas and remove the heat absorbed by the evaporators. The heat
is then exhausted overboard through the underside of the
fuselage. All condensation from the evaporators is drained
overboard by a pair of condensate drain lines.
LIMITATIONS
(1)
The aircraft must be equipped with dual 100 amp.
alternators.
(2)
Air conditioning must be in the OFF or VENTILATE
position for takeoff, landing and single-engine
operation.
NORMAL PROCEDURES
