OPERATING MANUAL
The two packs operate automatically and independently of each other. Pack operation is controlled
by pack controller signals.
Warm pre-conditioned bleed air enters the cooling path via the pack flow control valve, and is ducted
to the primary heat exchanger.
Then, the cooled bleed air enters the compressor section of the air-cycle machine and is compressed
to a higher pressure and temperature.
It is cooled again in the main heat exchanger and enters the turbine section, where it expands and, in
expanding, generates power to drive the compressor and cooling air fan.
The removal of energy during this process reduces air temperature, resulting in very low air
temperature at turbine discharge.
L3 A water separator system dries the air before it enters the turbine section.

An emergency ram air inlet ventilates the cockpit and cabin to remove smoke, or if both packs fail.
The emergency ram air inlet valve is controlled by the RAM AIR pushbutton on the AIR COND panel.
This pushbutton opens the ram air valve, provided that ditching is not selected.
When the RAM AIR pushbutton is ON : The outflow valve opens about 50 %, provided that it is under
automatic control and P is less than 1 PSI. The outflow valve does not automatically open if it is
under manual control, even if P is less than 1 PSI. If P is greater than 1 PSI, the check valve
located downstream the ram air door will not open, even if the ram air door has been selected open.
No airflow will then be supplied.

Each pack controller regulates the temperature of its associated pack, in accordance with a demand
signal from the zone controller, by modulating the bypass valve and the ram air inlet flaps.
The ram air inlet flaps close during takeoff and landing to avoid ingestion of foreign matter.
Note:
During takeoff, the ram air inlet flaps close when TO power is set and the main landing gear
struts are compressed.
During landing they close as soon as the main landing gear struts are compressed, as long
as speed is at or above 70 kt.
They open 20 s after the speed drops below 70 kt.
The pack controllers also regulate flow by modulating the associated pack flow control valve.

OPERATING MANUAL
The zone controller regulates the temperature of the two cabin zones and the cockpit.
BASIC TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The flight crew uses the temperature selectors on the air conditioning panel in the cockpit to
select the reference temperatures. The zone controller computes a temperature demand from the
selected temperature and the actual temperature.
The actual temperature is measured by sensors:
In the cockpit, for the cockpit zone;
In the lavatory extraction circuit and galley ventilation system, for the cabin.
A signal corresponding to the lowest demanded zone temperature goes to the pack controller,
which then make both packs produce the required outlet temperature.
OPTIMIZED TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The zone controller optimizes the temperature by action on the trim air valves.
The temperature selection range is from 18 C (64 F) to 30 C (86 F).

Each air conditioning system controller regulates the temperature of its associated pack, by
modulating the bypass valve and the ram air inlet flap.
The ram air inlet flap closes during takeoff and landing to avoid the ingestion of foreign matter.
Note:
During takeoff, the ram air inlet flap closes when takeoff power is set, and the main landing
gear struts are compressed.
During landing, it closes as soon as the main landing gear struts are compressed, as long
as speed is at or above 70 kt.
It opens 20 s after the speed drops below 70 kt.
The air conditioning system controllers also regulate flow by modulating the associated pack flow
control valve.
PACK FLOW CONTROL
The crew can use the PACK FLOW selector to adjust the pack flow for the number of passengers
and for external conditions.
Whatever the crew selects, the system delivers higher flow for any of the following circumstances:
In single-pack operation,
When the APU is supplying bleed air.
The system delivers normal flow if the crew selects LO flow and the temperature demand cannot
be satisfied.

OPERATING MANUAL
If the Air Cycle Machine (ACM) fails (compressor/turbine seizure), the affected pack may be operated
in heat exchanger cooling mode.
Warm pre-conditioned bleed air enters the cooling path via the pack valve and goes to the primary
heat exchanger. Then, the main part of the cooled air goes directly downstream of ACM turbine
through the bypass valve, and the rest goes through the failed ACM.
The ACM seizure reduces the pack flow.
As for normal pack operation:
The pack controller regulates temperature, in accordance with zone controller demand, by
modulating the bypass valve and the ram air inlet flap.
The zone controller regulates the hot air flow through the hot air valves to optimize cockpit/cabin
temperature regulation. Hot air flow is lower than in normal pack operation, because pack flow is
reduced.

OPERATING MANUAL
The flight crew monitors the operation of the system, but does nothing to control it. Air pressure in
the cabin follows external schedules that the system receives as signals from the Flight Management
and Guidance System (FMGS).
When FMGS data is not available for automatic pressurization, the crew only needs to select the
landing field elevation.
The pressurization system then uses the manually-selected landing field elevation for internal
schedules.
MANUAL OPERATION
Ident.: DSC-21-20-10-00000324.0001001 / 09 DEC 09
Applicable to: ALL
In manual mode, the flight crew controls the cabin altitude via the manual motor of the outflow valves,
by operating controls on the pressurization control panel.

OPERATING MANUAL
Two identical, independent, digital controllers automatically control the system, by maintaining the
proper cabin pressure. They receive signals from the Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS),
the Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC), the Engine Interface Unit (EIU), and the
Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU).
When the system is in automatic or semi-automatic mode, one controller is active, the other is on
standby.
The controllers also generate signals for the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM).
For operation in manual mode, each controller has a backup section, which is powered by an
independent power supply in the controller N1 position. This section also has a pressure sensor that
generates the cabin altitude and pressure signal for the ECAM, when MAN mode is selected.
The controllers communicate with each other via a cross-channel link.
OUTFLOW VALVE
Ident.: DSC-21-20-20-00000327.0001001 / 14 NOV 11
Applicable to: ALL
The outflow valve is on the right-hand side of fuselage, behind the aft cargo compartment and below
the flotation line.
The outflow valve assembly consists of a flush, skin-mounted, rectangular frame, carrying inward and
outward opening flaps linked to the actuator. The actuator contains the drives of the two automatic
motors and the manual motor. Either of two automatic motors operates the valve in automatic mode,
and the manual motor operates it in manual mode.
In automatic mode, the operating controller signals the position of the valve to the ECAM.
In manual mode, the backup section of the N 1 controller signals the position of the valve to the
ECAM.
Note:
When the RAM AIR pushbutton is ON, and p is below 1 PSI, the system drives the outflow
valve about 50 % open if it is under automatic control. If the system is under manual
control, the outflow valve does not automatically open, even if p is below 1 PSI.
SAFETY VALVES
Two independent pneumatic safety valves prevent cabin pressure from going too high (8.6 PSI
above ambient) or too low (1 PSI below ambient).
They are located on the rear pressure bulkhead, above the flotation line.

OPERATING MANUAL
GENERAL
Two identical, independent, automatic systems (each consisting of a controller and its
associated motors) control cabin pressure.
Either system controls the single outflow valve.
Only one controller operates at a time.
An automatic transfer occurs:
70 s after each landing.
If the operating system fails.
The controller automatically controls the cabin pressure. It limits the cabin pressure to 8 000 ft
maximum and optimizes it during climb and descent phases.
The controller normally uses the landing elevation and the QNH from the FMGC, and the
pressure altitude from ADIRS.
If FMGC data are not available, the controller uses the captain BARO Reference from the
ADIRS and the LDG ELEV selection.
Pressurization is assumed through the following modes:
GROUND (GN)
Before takeoff, and 55 s after landing, the outflow valve fully opens to ensure that there is no
residual cabin pressure. At touchdown, any remaining cabin pressure is released at a cabin
vertical speed of 500 ft/min.
TAKEOFF (TO)
To avoid a pressure surge at rotation, the controller pre-pressurizes the aircraft at a rate of
400 ft/min, until the P reaches 0.1 PSI. At liftoff, the controller initiates the climb phase.
CLIMB (CL)
During climb, the cabin altitude varies according to a fixed pre-programmed law that takes into
account the aircrafts actual rate of climb.
CRUISE (CR)
During cruise, the controller maintains cabin altitude at the level-off value, or at the landing field
elevation, whichever is higher.

DESCENT (DE)
During descent, the controller maintains a cabin rate of descent, such that the cabin pressure is
equal to the landing field pressure +0.1 PSI, shortly before landing.
The maximum descent rate is 750 ft/min.
ABORT (AB)
If the aircraft does not climb after takeoff, the abort mode prevents the cabin altitude from
climbing.
Cabin pressure is set back to the takeoff altitude +0.1 PSI.

EXAMPLE
The cabin pressure controller switches from Climb mode (CL) to Abort mode (AB)
when:
The aircraft is below 8 000 ft, or the aircraft has changed altitude less than
5 075 ft since takeoff and,
The aircraft rate of descent is greater than 200 ft/min for 30 s.
PRESSURIZATION FLIGHT PROFILE
If both automatic systems fail, the flight crew may use the CABIN PRESS control panel to take over
manual control of cabin pressurization.
Release the MODE SEL pushbutton to select MAN, and
Push the MAN V/S CTL switch UP or DN to increase or decrease cabin altitude.
The first of these actions cuts off power to the AUTO motors, and enables the MAN motor to control
the outflow valve.

Note:
1. Due to the slow operation of the outflow valves in manual mode, and the limited
resolution of the outflow valves' position on the ECAM, the visual ECAM indication of a
change in the outflow valves' position can take up to 5 s.
2. As the pressurization system is manually-controlled, the outflow valve does not open
automatically at touchdown.
DITCHING
To prepare for ditching, the flight crew must press the DITCHING pushbutton on the CABIN PRESS
control panel to close the outflow valve, the emergency ram air inlet, the avionics ventilation inlet and
extract valves, and the pack flow control valves.

An extraction fan draws air from the cargo compartments and exhausts it overboard. Air from
the cabin replaces the exhausted air, thus ventilating the cargo compartments.
The system can add hot bleed air to the air entering from the cabin, thus giving the flight crew control
of the temperature in the forward or aft cargo compartment .

OPERATING MANUAL
Air from the cabin goes via the inlet isolation valve to the aft cargo compartment, driven by an
extraction fan. Air is controlled by the outlet isolation valve and then goes outboard through the
outflow valve.
The cargo ventilation controller controls the operation of the inlet and outlet isolation valves and the
extraction fan.
When the isolation valves are fully open, the extraction fan operates continuously when the aircraft is
on the ground and during flight.
The controller closes the isolation valves and stops the extraction fan when :
the flight crew turns the AFT ISOL VALVE pushbutton switch OFF, or
the aft cargo smoke detection unit detects smoke.
AFT CARGO COMPARTMENT HEATING
Ident.: DSC-21-40-20-00005989.0001001 / 09 DEC 09
Applicable to: MSN 2997
The ventilation system for the aft cargo compartment uses hot engine bleed air (upstream of the
packs), mixing it with the ambient cabin air that flows through the cargo compartment.
The cargo regulating valve regulates the pressure of this hot air supply, and the trim air valve, which
is modulated electrically by the controller, controls the flow.
The cargo pressure regulating valve is pneumatically operated and electrically controlled from the
HOT AIR pushbutton on the CARGO HEAT panel.
The hot air is controlled by the cargo trim air valve which is modulated electrically by the controller.
The hot air is then mixed with air from the cabin and supplied to the cargo compartment through the
ventilation inlet isolation valve.
According to the temperature selector demand, the controller regulates the amount of hot air added
by the trim air valve, until the desired temperature is reached.
If the inlet temperature exceeds 70 C, the controller closes the trim air valve.
If the inlet temperature exceeds 88 C, the controller interprets this as a duct overheat and closes the
pressure regulating valve. This valve then remains closed until the flight crew resets the system by
pressing the HOT AIR pushbutton which it cannot do until the temperature drops below 70 C.
