PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS) controls cabin altitude,
cabin rate of change and cabin differential pressure during all flight
phases.
DESCRIPTION
The CPCS has two modes of operation: automatic and manual mode.
The automatic mode is the primary mode. The manual mode is used
in case of failure of the automatic mode. The pressurization control
system has these components:
Digital controller.
Manual controller.
Electropneumatic outflow valve.
Pneumatic outflow valve.
Pressure regulator valve.
Check valve.
Ejector pump.
Static port.
Air filter.
Vacuum line.
Reference pressure line.
The figure PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM - MAIN

PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE
The pressure regulator valve adjusts bleed air pressure from the
pneumatic system (Ref. 36-00) to 20 1 psig to supply the ejector
pump. This valve is installed forward of the wing-to-fuselage attachment. There is one valve on each side of the forward part of the
wing-to-fuselage fairing.
CHECK VALVE
The check valve permits ejector pump operation in case one bleed air
duct fails or no bleed air is supplied to one main bleed duct. This
valve is installed forward of the wing-to-fuselage attachment. There is
one valve on each side of the forward part of the wing-to-fuselage
fairing.
EJECTOR PUMP
The ejector pump makes suction using bleed air pressure through an
air ejector. The pump receives an adjusted pressure of 20 psig at its
inlet.
This permits the pump to supply 3 psig on the suction line. The
bleed air flows overboard at the pump outlet.
The ejector pump is installed at the forward part of the wing-tofuselage fairing.

STATIC PORT
The static port feels the ambient static pressure through the sensing
orifices. The static port transmits this signal to the related outflow
valve through a tube. This permits the overpressure relief valve to
operate.
The static port is electrically heated to prevent blockage of the sensing orifices because of freezing.
The static ports are installed at the lower part of rear fuselage I, near
the cargo door.
AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter prevents nicotine and dust from going into the
outflow valves. This increases their life and reliability. The filter has a
folded paper in a rubber housing with a threaded end.
The cabin air flows through the filtering element and goes to the EOV
through the tubing at the threaded end. The air filter is installed near
the EOV.

OPERATION
The pressurization control system adjusts the cabin pressure by
controlling the exhaust rate of the cabin air from the Environmental
Control System (ECS). The system can operate in two modes:
Automatic mode.
Manual mode.
AUTOMATIC MODE
In the automatic mode, the Digital Controller (DC) operates the two
outflow valves (EOV and POV). The DC sends current signals to the
torque motor of the EOV to operate the two valves.

PRE-PRESSURIZATION

THE
When the aircraft is on the ground and the Thrust Lever Angle (TLA)
is more than 65o, the pre-pressurization sequence starts. This
sequence prevents cabin bumps because of irregular airflow on the
fuselage during rotation and takeoff. It also makes it unnecessary to
control cabin altitude immediately after rotation, as the cabin altitude
follows the aircraft altitude.
During this sequence the scheduled cabin altitude (ZCOT) is such
that its scheduled cabin pressure (PCOT) is PCM + 15 mbar (to the
scheduled altitude, ambient measured pressure at the full power
setting plus 15 mbar). The limit of cabin rate of change will be 450
ft/min.
NOTE: For takeoff without air conditioning supply, this sequence
causes the outflow valves to close.

The figure PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM - PREPRESSURIZATION AND T/O SEQUENCES shows the graphic
related to these sequences.
During this sequence, the scheduled cabin altitude (ZCOT) stays the
same as the ZCOT of the pre-pressurization sequence for 15 minutes.
Or until the ZCOT is more than the theoretical cabin altitude, if it
occurs first.
NOTE: Theoretical law.
The theoretical cabin altitude is related to the aircraft altitude (ZA) and
the maximum climb performance of the aircraft (ZA = ZA.t). It is also
related to the maximum nominal differential pressure (7.8 psi) for a
cabin altitude of 8,000 ft at an aircraft altitude of 37,000 ft.

FLIGHT SEQUENCE
When the landing gear switch is in flight condition (but not during the
takeoff sequence) the flight sequence starts. During this sequence
the scheduled cabin altitude (ZCOT) is the higher value between
ZCTH and ZATT (landing altitude minus 300 ft, with barometric correction from the ADC).
The cabin altitude rate of change limit (VZLIM) during this sequence
is:
When the aircraft is on the ground and bleed air is available, the
outflow valves go to the full open position when the system is turned
on.
VZLIMC
Climb = 600 ft/min for aircraft with CPCS digital controller of the
P/N 22250Nxxxxxx series and 700 ft/min for aircraft with CPCS
digital controller of the P/N 92185A010100.
The figure PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM - DEPRESSURIZATION SEQUENCE ON THE GROUND shows the graph
related to this sequence.
VZLIMD
Descent = 450 ft/min.
AUTOMATIC RATE OF DESCENT INCREASE SEQUENCE
When the aircraft rate of descent is more than 200 ft/min, this
sequence starts. The function of this sequence is to calibrate the
cabin rate of descent in relation to the aircraft descent profile.
In case of aircraft rapid descent, this sequence will increase the rate
of descent limit (VZLIMD) in relation to the Remaining Flight Time
(RFT). The RFT is calculated as follows:
RFT = (ZA (ZATT + 300))/VZA
The limit of VZLIMD is 500 ft/min.
AUTOMATIC DEPRESSURIZATION SEQUENCE ON THE GROUND
When the air/ground system is on the ground condition and the thrust
lever is in idle, the automatic depressurization sequence starts. This
sequence prevents a cabin bump during landing.
To prevent the bump the cabin must have a small differential pressure. Thus, the automatic mode always controls the cabin altitude at

MANUAL MODE
The manual mode pneumatically controls the cabin pressure. The
position of the manual controller sets a reference pressure which
controls the opening of the Pneumatic Outflow Valve (POV).
The crew must turn the manual controller knob to get the necessary
cabin rate of change. While turning the knob, the crew must follow the
parameters on the EICAS display (Ref. 21-32).
During the manual mode, the digital controller is deenergized, and the
EOV stays closed. The AUTO/MAN switch stays pressed and the
MAN indicator in the switch stays on.
FAST CABIN DEPRESSURIZATION
When the NORM/DUMP switch, on the digital controller, is set to
DUMP:
It cuts the electrical connection between the digital controller and
the Electropneumatic Outflow Valve (EOV).
It applies 10 V DC across the torque motor terminals. The torque
motor quadrant closes the cabin pressure port and opens the
suction port. The servo-chamber pressure decreases and the EOV
opens.
The DUMP indicator in the switch stays on.
NOTE: In flight, the cabin altitude limiter in the EOV will keep the
cabin altitude to the limit of 14,000 500 ft.
When the system is in the manual mode, turning the manual controller fully clockwise will also set a fast depressurization. The pneumatic
outflow valve will open and the cabin rate of climb limit will be of 2,500
ft/min.
The figure PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SYSTEM - PRESSURIZATION DIAGRAM shows the operation of the system.
