Vapor Cycle System
The VCS is selected on only when the ECS controller receives a cooling
command. It is composed of two independent circuits:
-
one for the cockpit zone,
-
one for the cabin zone.
For each circuit, the intake of air is by means of a variable speed electrical fan,
with the air blown through an evaporator and ducted to the different zones:
-
into the cockpit by passing through:
.
the upper panel equipped with swiveling and adjustable air outlets,
.
air outlets located on the armrests of pilot and front passenger stations
and
.
ports located under the instrument panel.
-
into the cabin by passing through:
.
the overhead duct equipped with swiveling and adjustable air outlets,
.
ports located on the floor between the cabinets and the intermediate
passenger seats.
System Operation
See
.
Cockpit ECS Control Panel:
If the FAN selector is set to OFF:
-
Cockpit / cabin evaporator fans are OFF,
-
VCS is inhibited,
-
The cabin touchscreen control panel is inhibited and displays "PILOT IN
CONTROL".
The pilot can set the desired temperature and fan speed. Desired temperature can
be selected through the TEMP selector. Fan speed can either be set to AUTO or
to the desired position on the FAN selector. When set to AUTO, the ECS controller
drives the fan speed in order to reach the selected temperature in the most
efficient way.
