    This document provides an overview of the environmental control system (ECS) on a Bombardier CRJ aircraft, specifically focusing on the air conditioning system. It describes that there are two independent air conditioning packs that can operate separately or together to supply conditioned air to the flight and passenger compartments. The packs use bleed air from the engines which is cooled and dehumidified before being distributed. Temperature in each compartment is controlled automatically but can be switched to manual control. Ram air provides ventilation to the heat exchangers and conditioned air is distributed through separate ducting systems to the compartments.

    AIR CONDITIONING

    Aircraft: Bombardier CRJ

    The Environmental Control System (ECS) provides temperature and pressure regulated air
    for heating, ventilating and pressurizing the flight and passenger compartments.

    Exhaust air, from the compartments, is used to ventilate the avionics and cargo compartments,
    before being dumped overboard through two outflow valves.

    For ground operations, pneumatic air needed to operate the ECS can be obtained from 3 sources;
    1. A ground air supply cart connected to the aircraft
    2. The auxiliary power unit (APU)
    3. Either or both engines.
    On flight, the engines normally supply bleed air for operating the air-conditioning, pressurization,
    and avionics cooling systems.

    ECS warnings and cautions are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system
    (EICAS) primary page. ECS advisory and status messages are displayed on the EICAS status page.
    Views of the aircraft ECS temperature, pressure, valve positions and system status indications are
    displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.

    AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

    There are two air-conditioning systems, which can be operated separately or in parallel, to supply
    conditioned air to the flight and passenger compartments. Each system consists of an air-
    conditioning unit or package (PACK), a temperature controller and ducting.

    Ram air is provided for pack cooling and ventilation. The temperature controllers also control the
    engine 10th stage bleed air supply to the system.

    PACKS

    The packs are located in the aft equipment compartment. They provide cooling of the
    engine or APU bleed air supplies for distribution to the flight and passenger compartments. 10th
    stage bleed air to each pack is regulated to a constant 30 psi by respective pressure regulator and
    shutoff valves (PRSOV).
    For single pack operation, the PRSOV will regulate the pressure to 41 psi. Each pack
    consists of an air cycle machine and heat exchanger which are used to decrease the temperature
    and water content of the bleed air used in the conditioning process. Normally, the right pack
    supplies the passenger compartment and the left pack supplies the flight compartment. If a pack
    fails, the remaining pack can supply conditioned air to both compartments.

    Air Conditioning System - Controls

    A. Left and Right PACK Switch/Lights

    Used to control operation of air conditioning packs.

    When pressed in, associated pack pressure regulating/shut--off valve opens, permitting airflow
    into pack. OFF (white) light goes out.

    When pressed out, associated pack pressure regulating/shut--off valve closes, shutting down
    airflow into pack. OFF (white) light comes on and EICAS displays L/R PACK OFF status
    message.

    Amber FAULT light comes on: When overpressure occurs between primary heat exchanger and
    compressor section of pack.
    B. RAM AIR Ventilation Switch/Light (Guarded)

    Used when both packs fail. Provides ambient air to left conditioned air (cockpit) supply duct.

    When pressed in, ram air vent valve opens and supplies air into cockpit supply duct. OPEN (white)
    light comes on. EICAS displays RAM AIR OPEN status message and ECS page indicates valve
    position.

    When pressed out, ram air valve closes and OPEN light goes out. EICAS ECS page indicates valve
    at closed position.

    C. Manual Mode Temperature Control Switch/Light

    Used to operate air conditioning temperature control valves in manual mode


    Note: Must not hold the switch for extended period of time, as excessive temperatures will occur.

    D. Manual Mode - Temperature Control Switch/Light

    Used to select manual mode temperature control

    When pressed in, selects manual control and light comes on green and EICAS indicates CKPT /
    CABIN TEMP MAN.

    When pressed out, selects automatic control and light goes out.
    E. Automatic Mode – Temperature Controls

    Used to provide automatic control of temperatures in selected compartment

    TEMPERATURE CONTROL

    The flight compartment and the passenger compartments have identical but independently-
    operated temperature control systems. Each controller subsystem is dedicated to an air-
    conditioning pack.

    RAM AIR VENTILATION

    The cooling air for the left and right heat exchangers is supplied from a ram air intake, located on
    the upper aft fuselage.

    CONDITIONED AIR DISTRIBUTION

    Conditioned air, from the left and right air-conditioning packs, is routed through separate ducting
    systems through a distribution manifold to the flight compartment and the passenger
    compartments.

    Conditioned air, to the passenger compartment, is distributed from ducts along each side of the
    aircraft. Passenger compartment exhaust air is routed underfloor to the outflow valves on the aft
    pressure bulkhead.

    Conditioned air, to the flight compartment, is distributed to the side console panels, gaspers and
    vents, and avionics units within the instrument panel. Dedicated fans and ducts direct conditioned
    air over the flight compartment display units. Flight compartment exhaust air is routed underfloor
    through the avionics compartment to the outflow valve at the aft pressure bulkhead.
