Figure 16-69. The air cycle air conditioning system of a DC-10 transport category aircraft uses only one heat exchanger per ACM. Cabin temperature pickup units and duct temperature sensors used in the temperature control system are thermistors. Their ... resistance changes as temperature changes. The temperature selector is a rheostat that varies its resistance as the knob is turned. In the temperature controller, resistances are compared in a bridge circuit. The bridge output feeds a temperature regulating function…

Technician Certification The EPA requires certification of technicians that work with vapor cycle air conditioning refrigerant and equipment to ensure safe compliance with current regulations. Aircraft technicians can obtain certification or can refer vapor cycle air conditioning work to shops ... that specialize in this work. Aircraft Heaters Bleed Air Systems Temperatures at high altitudes in which aircraft operate can be well below 0 °F. Combined with seasonally cold temperatures, this makes heating the cabin more than just a luxury. Pressurized…

Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) The pilot’s workload on all aircraft includes continuous monitoring of the flight instruments and the sky outside of the aircraft. It also includes vigilant scrutiny for proper operation of the engine and airframe systems ... transport category aircraft, this can mean monitoring numerous gauges in addition to maneuvering the aircraft. The electronic centralized aircraft monitoring (ECAM) system is designed to assist with this duty. The basic concept behind ECAM (and other monitoring systems) is automatic…

downstream of the engine-driven fuel pump alerts the crew should fuel pressure decline. Not all large, old aircraft have this fuel system. This is merely an example. Other aircraft share similar features and possess unique features of their ... same is true for small reciprocating-engine aircraft. There are many systems that share features with those described above, but they also differ in some ways. Always consult the manufacturer’s data when working on aircraft fuel systems and follow…
