only. If the left or right engine bleed air is secured,
or if a rupture occurs in the left or right bleed-air
manifold, the appropriate check valve closes. This
allows the air-conditioning and pressurization
subsystems to operate from the opposite bleed-
air source. An open engine bleed-air bypass and
shutoff valve allows bleed air to bypass the
check valves and flow from the left-to-right or
right-to-left manifolds. The engine bleed-air
bypass and shutoff valve is open during engine
starting. It is also open when operating the deicing
system with one engine secured.
Bleed-air pressure is sensed by the bleed-air
pressure transmitter located in the bleed-air supply
duct downstream of the crossover duct isolation
check valves. The pressure is displayed on the
bleed-air pressure indicator on the environmental
panel.
Bleed air from the left and right manifolds
flows through the crossover duct isolation check
valves to the bleed-air flow control and shutoff
valve. The bleed-air flow control and shutoff valve
is electrically controlled and pneumatically
actuated to modulate the bleed-air flow to the air-
conditioning and pressurization systems in
response to predetermined flow schedules.
Two alternate air supply sources, APU air and
ground start air, connect to the left and right
bleed-air manifold. The APU air duct supplies
bleed air through two check valves to the left
manifold. The ground start duct supplies high-
pressure air through a check valve to the right
manifold. These alternate air supply sources
are used primarily for starting engines and
for ground operation of the air-conditioning
system.
APU Bleed Air
Bleed air flows from the APU compressor
through two one-way check valves in the APU
duct to the left one-way check valve in the cross-
breed manifold. Bleed air is also supplied to the
bleed-air shutoff valve, the left side of the engine
bleed-air bypass and shutoff valve, empennage
deice valve, the left wing deice valve, and the ram
air anti-icing valve. With the bleed-air switch in
the ON position, the left bleed-air shutoff valve
is opened. In the open position, bleed air is
supplied to the left engine starter control valve.
To provide bleed air to the right side of the cross-
breed manifold, the engine bleed-air bypass and
shutoff valve is opened to allow bleed air to the
right bleed-air shutoff valve and to the right wing
deice valve. With the bleed-air engine No. 2 switch
set to ON, the right bleed-air shutoff valve is
opened. In the open position, bleed air is supplied
to the right engine starter-control valve.
SE Ground Start Air
When support equipment is the source of air,
the ground air start hose is connected to the
ground start connection nipple located in the right
wheel well. External high-pressure air flows
through the engine starting duct check valve into
the right cross-bleed manifold. Normal flow is
through the right one-way check valve in the cross-
breed manifold to the bleed-air flow control and
shutoff valve. High-pressure air is available to the
right bleed-air shutoff valve and the right wing
deice valve. Opening the right bleed-air shutoff
valve provides air to the right engine starter-
control valve.
To provide SE air to the left cross-bleed
manifold, the engine bleed-air bypass and shutoff
valve is opened. When the valve is open, air flows
around the cross-bleed check valves to the left
bleed-air shutoff valve, the left wing deice valve,
the ram air anti-icing valve, and the empennage
deicing valve. To provide air to the left engine
starter-control valve, open the left bleed-air
shutoff valve.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Now that you are familiar with the operation
of the system as a whole, lets look at its
components and their operation. Knowledge of
the individual components makes troubleshooting
easier and faster. To aid you in locating parts of
the components, numbers within parenthesis ( )
are included that correlate to the numbers on the
illustrations.
