PAX Door Escape Slide Deployment

Description
A slide deployment can be initiated whenever the door is opened in the
emergency configuration.
When the slide is armed it can be checked on a red indicator, located
on the button of the slide decorative cover.
As soon as the door handle is lifted the door opens and the escape slide
is ejected from its container and the inflation system is activated.
The deployment and inflation sequence is automatically initiated when
the cabin door is opened.

Passenger Door Escape Slide Components


This graphic shows the main components of the passenger door escape
slide.
The Flapper valve is closed.
The Pressure from the Inflation Reservoir flows into the nozzle array.
Due to the high flow the flapper valve opens against the spring force.
When the slide inflation pressure reaches its nominal value, the flapper
valve closes by spring force.
The remaining reservoir pressure is used to maintain the slide pressure for
a given time.
After inflation the maintenance will deflate the slide by manually
opening the flapper valve.

PAX Visual Information System

Cabin Management System


The cabin management system controls and monitors the PVIS by means
of the lap top computer.
Operation
The DIU reads data from the FMGCs and the ADIRUs through ARINC 429
data buses.
These data are used for DIU memory access from where information is
processed, formatted and transmitted as a video signal to the PES video.
The video System Control Unit (SCU) transmits this information to the
Display Unitss to be shown.
BITE
A test is done automatically at power-up or manually from the control unit.
The result of this test is transmitted to the video SCU.

AVIONICS VENTILATION
Two ventilation systems :
Avionics ventilation and lavatory / galley ventilation.
AVIONICS VENTILATION
This equipment includes
A blower fan and an extraction fan.
Two skin air valves.
Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer (AEVC)
Note: the fans operate continuously.
The AEVC controls the fans and the skin valves based on flight/ground logic
and fuselage skin temperature.

AVIONICS VENTILATION

There are 3 configurations for the skin air inlet and outlet valves:
Open circuit: both valves open (on ground only),
Closed circuit: both valves closed (in flight or low outside air temperature
on ground below 4 C ). The air is cooled in the skin heater exchanger.
Intermediate circuit: inlet closed, outlet partially open (smoke removal in
flight or high ambient temperature ).

Note :The small flap (Auxiliary flap ) is opened in flight or on ground with
takeoff power selected, when the skin temperature is above 34C
(93,2F).and closes below 27C (80,6F).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When you work on A/C, make sure you obey all the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM) procedures. This will prevent injury to
personnel and/or damage to the A/C.
Do not use force to turn the manual handles of the valves. There are
shear pins in the handles.
Do not use your fingers to operate the deactivation switches. If the
system is energized, the valves could move.

LAVATORY AND GALLEY VENTILATION

LAVATORY AND GALLEY VENTILATION


The lavatory and galley ventilation system is completely automatic.
Conditioned cabin air is supplied through the lavatory and galley areas
and is removed from these areas by an extraction fan.
The fan pulls air through the ceiling into an extraction duct.
The air is then discharged overboard through the outflow valve.
Note: the extraction fan runs continuously .

The forward and aft cargo compartments can have a ventilation


and heating system.
Air from the main cabin is drawn down into the cargo
compartment by the extract fan or by differential pressure in
flight.
After circulating through the compartment, the air is discharged
overboard.
The operation of the two isolation valves and the extract fan is
controlled automatically by the cargo Ventilation Controller (VC).

Forward and Aft air trim valves

For the heating of the cargo compartment, the pilots select the desired
compartment temp and hot bleed air is mixed with the air coming from
the main cabin to increase the temperature if necessary.
The supply of hot air is controlled by the Cargo Heating Controller.
Note that there is NO direct air conditioning supply to the cargo
compartments. The pilots cannot add "cold" air to the compartments.
