SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
The operation of the ”KEITH” vapor cycle cooling system is started thanks to
the ”AIR COND” control switch integrated to the ”ECS” panel.
The operation instructions are described in Section 4 ”Normal procedures” of
the basic Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
NOTE 1 :
On ground, in order to obtain a best efficiency of the vapor cycle cooling
system, it is advised to set temporarily the “BLEED VALVE” switch to “OFF”,
open all overhead duct air outlets and do not obstruct the evaporator lattice
orifice located according to the evaporator installation either above the cabin
floor or in the baggage compartment.
NOTE 2 :
The standby compass may be disturbed when the vapor cycle cooling
system is set to ”ON”. If the standby compass use is necessary, the vapor
cycle cooling system must be set to ”OFF”.
