satisfactory cockpit comfort, it may be
necessary to place the AFT VENT
BLOWER switch in the ON position to
activate the aft evaporator to re-
circulate cabin air.
c. Automatic Mode Control. When the AUTO
mode is selected on the cabin temp mode selector
switch, the heating and air conditioning systems are
automatically controlled. When the temperature of the
cabin has reached the selected setting, the automatic
temperature control allows heated air to bypass the
air-to-air exchangers in the wing center section. The
warm bleed air is mixed with the cooled air. The rear
evaporator picks up re-circulated cabin air only.
(1) When the automatic control drives the
environmental system from a heat mode to a cooling
mode, the bypass valves close. When the left bypass
valve reaches a fully closed position, the refrigeration
system will begin cooling, provided the right engine N
speed is above 65% RPM. When the bypass valve is
opened to a position approximately 30° from full open,
the refrigeration system will turn off.
(2) The CABIN TEMP INCR control provides
regulation of the temperature level in the automatic

conjunction with the control setting, initiates a heat or

accomplished manually with the MANUAL TEMP
switch.
(1) In the MAN HEAT mode, the automatic
system is overridden and the system is controlled by
opening or closing the two bypass valves with the
MANUAL TEMP / INCREASE / DECREASE switch.
To increase cabin temperature, hold the switch at the
