FLOW CONTROL & MONITORING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (3)


System Description
The flow control and monitoring system controls the quantity of hot bleed
air that flows to the Air Generation Units (AGU) and trim air system.
The hot bleed air from the pneumatic system first flows through the ozone
converters to convert ozone into oxygen.
It then goes through the Flow Sensing Venturis (FSV) for flow sensing
and through the Flow Control Valves (FCV) for flow regulation. The
FCVs also have a shut-off function.
There are 2 Ozone converters, 2 FSVs and 2 FCVs per side (AGU).
Each FCV controls half of the total flow per side. This makes sure that
proper flow sharing occurs between the related engine bleed systems.
Each FSV senses pressure, delta pressure and temperature for actual flow
calculation. The delta pressure is also used for AGU Heat Exchanger
clogging detection.
Flow regulation compensation is supplied by the remaining FCV if the
adjacent one has failed.
Due to the AGU design, full operation of the AGU and trim air supply
is maintained by the operative FCV.

channels. Each digital channel contains its own processor, power
Components Description supply, I/O compliment and CAN bus interfaces.
The components involved in the flow control and monitoring are:
4 Flow Control Valves (FCV),
4 Flow Sensing Venturies (FSV),
4 ozone converters and,
2 Full Digital AGU Controllers (FDAC).
Flow Control Valves (FCV)
The FCVs are installed in the unpressurized area in the root of the
wings near the AGU. The FCV is a pneumatically operated butterfly
valve that uses a torque motor servo-valve to control the flow. The
FCV is failed-safe closed and spring-loaded closed in the absence of
bleed air pressure.
Flow Sensing Venturies (FSV)
Each FSV has:
- A metal venturi duct,
- An absolute pressure sensor,
- A delta pressure sensor,
- A temperature sensor.
All sensors are LRUs.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D1FLOWCTL01

The FSVs are installed upstream of the FCVs and attached to them.
Ozone Converters
The ozone converters have a steel body with a metal grid core inside.
The catalytic surface of the metal core is primary made of precious
metal like Rhodium and Platinum that change the gaseous ozone into
oxygen.
The ozone converters are installed upstream of the FCVs.
Full Digital AGU Controllers (FDAC)
The FDACs are installed in the LH and RH inner wing. The FDAC
is a shock-protected box, which contains two fully redundant digital

Interfaces Description
Two identical, dual channel Full Digital AGU Controllers (FDACs) give
all control and BITE functions required for the flow control and
monitoring. FDAC1 is dedicated to the LH side system and FDAC2 for
the RH side one.
Only one channel per FDAC operates at a time, the other channel stays
in hot standby.
The FDAC controls the FCVs according to AGU flow demands coming
from the AGS application hosted in the CPIOM-Bs.
The FDAC calculates the actual flow according to the signals sent by the
sensors installed on the FSVs.
The FDAC compares the actual flow to the flow demand in order to
control the FCV torque motors.
A proximity switch sends the FCV Fully Closed /Not Fully Closed
position to the FDAC.
CPIOM B1 and B3 calculate the LH AGU Flow demand and CPIOM
B2 and B4 calculate the RH AGU Flow demand.
The flow demands depend on various parameters coming from the ADCN.

System Description
An Emergency Ram Air Inlet (ERAI) system is used in case of failure
of both AGUs for ventilation purposes. During normal operation the
ERAI is not used.
An adjacent Low Pressure Ground Connector (LPGC) system is used on
ground to connect ground carts for ground ventilation of the A/C. While
receiving LP air, it is not necessary to operate the AGUs.
The ERAI and LPGC Systems are grouped together into two symmetrical
sub-systems positioned left and right of the A/C centerline.
Each sub-system connected to the mixer unit includes:
- 1 ERAI scoop,
- 1 ERAI actuator,
- 1 ERAI box flapper,
- 2 LPGCs (one inboard and one outboard LPGC),
- 1 skin check valve and,
- 1 LPGC check valve.
The actuator extends and retracts the ERAI scoop.
The flapper, integrated into the ERAI Box is installed to prevent outflow
of ram air through the inboard LPGC during flight when using the ERAI
scoop. The LPGC check valve prevents reverse airflow out of the outboard

Interfaces Description generate the BLEED and COND pages.
The VCS application through the VCM FWD automatically opens the
ERAIs if both AGUs are off and provided that the open signal is enabled
(pdyn p) by the CPCS application. The enable signal sent from CPCS
is transmitted via AFDX to the VCS application.
The RAM AIR P/B can be used to open or close the ERAIs independently
from the enable signal. In that case, the manual control has the priority
and the manual opening must be done below 10,000 ft to prevent
passenger discomfort
The ram air Pressure must overcome the cabin differential pressure plus
the Skin Check Valve Cracking Pressure to let the ram air entering the
system. Consequently, the cabin differential pressure must be decreased
to a minimum value as soon as the ERAIs are detected fully open.
For that reason, the ERAI position, i.e. fully closed/fully open (FC/FO)
is fed back to the CPCS Applications via AFDX. Based on the position
feedback the CPCS will control the position of the OFVs accordingly.
When the Ditching P/B is pressed in, the ERAIs will either be closed or
the opening will be electronically locked.

System Description
The trim air system uses hot air tapped downstream from FCV 2 and
FCV3.
However, FCV1 and FCV4 can supply the trim air system with hot air,
thanks to the AGU internal design.
The trim air system has two Trim Air Pressure Regulating Valves
(TAPRV) used for the:
- Trim air pressure regulation,
- Trim air supply shut-off.
Each TAPRV operates with a trim air pressure sensor (pressure feedback).
Both TAPRVs are connected to a trim air manifold with four quadrants.
The 4 quadrants architecture minimizes the impact of a single component
failure, local overheat or trim air leak on system performance and
passenger comfort.
A quadrant is a trim air manifold section set between a Trim Air Check
Valve (TACKV) and a Trim Air Shut-Off Valve (TASOV).
4 TACKVs participate in the quadrants isolation, but also separate the
pressurized fuselage from the un-pressurized AGU bays.
The 2 TASOVs remain in the closed position during normal operation
and consequently split the trim air manifold into LH side quadrants and
RH side quadrants. TAPRV1 supplies the LH side quadrants, whereas
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D5TEMPCTL01

TAPRV2 supplies the RH side quadrants.


The A380-800 has 16 various cockpit/cabin temperature zones (17 for
the A380-900).
The temperature regulation of each zone needs:
- One Trim Air Valve (TAV),
- One duct temperature sensor and,
- One zone temperature sensor.
Each TAV is connected to one specific quadrant. The TAV adds trim air
to its dedicated supply duct.

air and fresh air from the Air Generation Units (AGU). The spiral
housings make the warm recirculated air wrap the fresh air around. The
inlet bends make the warm recirculated air tangentially flow into the
mixer unit and make a thin layer of warm air close to the mixer unit
surface in order to prevent ice build-up at critical areas.

LP Recirculation System Description
The LP recirculation system is used for redistribution of the upper deck
air into the riser ducts for upper and main deck supply.
Consequently, the amount of airflow from the mixer unit to the cabin
areas is decreased.
Oval ducts running along the sidewall linings at the UD floor level, collect
the UD air to ensure a homogeneous air extraction along the cabin.
Air is discharged in nine (plus four optional) LP filter-housings and
filtered in each housing by a LP High Efficiency Particulate Absorber
(HEPA) recirculation filter.
Nine (plus one optional) Low-Pressure recirculation fans, has an integrated
check valve, draw the air through the filters. The fans blow the air into
two LP recirculation manifolds.
The LP recirculation manifolds are installed on each side of the fuselage
between the upper deck and main deck. Three pairs of cross-links connect
the two manifolds to each other for flow balancing.
Junction ducts connect the manifolds to the riser ducts. Each junction
duct is has an adjustable flow restrictor for recirculation flow calibration.

Cockpit Air Distribution Description
The cockpit air-distribution has 3 functions:
- It supplies air to the cockpit and keeps it at a temperature that gives a
good level of comfort to the crew during flight,
- It prevents smoke and odors from other compartments from entering
the cockpit,
- It helps to defog the windshield.
The cockpit air-distribution system supplies the cockpit with conditioned
air from the mixer unit through various fixed and adjustable air outlets.
These outlets are located on both cockpit sides.
Four individual air outlets are adjustable in flow and direction to blow
the air directly to the face of the crew.
There are four discharge valves installed in the console to adjust the flow
of air to the related air outlets:
- Two discharge valves are used as feet air diffusers (one for the CAPT
side and one for the F/O side),
- Two discharge valves are used as windshield air-outlet (one for the
CAPT side and one for the F/O side).
A manual selector mechanically controls each discharge valve. When
the discharge valve is in the closed position, all the air goes to the related
outlet. When the discharge valve is moved to the open position, some of
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D6RECIRCU01

the air goes to the cold area of the console to reduce the flow of air from
the related outlet.

Cabin Air Distribution Description
The cabin has a general air distribution. An optional individual air
distribution can be installed in both decks.
General Cabin Air Distribution
From the mixer unit, air flows to the cabin zones through ducts of
different diameters. Large diameter supply ducts are installed
longitudinally under the MD cabin floor. Each supply duct has:
- An ice grid,
- A quick accessible single-hole restrictor for flow calibration,
- A pressure port.
Smaller diameter riser ducts with integrated sound absorbers are
connected to the main ducts. The riser ducts lead the air to the main
deck and upper deck.
Area supply ducts distribute the air to the various cabin air outlets.
The air outlets are fully integrated into the cabin lining. Two types of
air outlet for each side create two counter-rotating advection flows in
the whole main deck cabin zone. Ceiling air outlets are installed on
top of the lateral overhead storage compartment. The lateral air outlets
are located between the sidewall panel and the lateral overhead storage
compartment. The same concept is used on the upper deck for a
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D6RECIRCU01

fixed-bins configuration.
Split-type center air outlets installed in the UD ceiling panels are used
for a pivoted-bins configuration. This arrangement results in four
counter-rotating advection flows in the upper deck cabin.
All air outlet supply ducts have multi-hole restrictors.

CPIOM B2 and B4) directly operates the FWD CAX fan (respectively
AFT CAX fan) via CAN-bus. The VCS application:
- Switches on the CAX fans during ground configuration as soon as the
A/C is energized,
- Switches off the CAX fans during flight configuration.
To prevent extraction duct implosion, the pressure sensor installed in
each CAX-fan monitors the differential pressure between the extraction
duct and the cabin. In case of excessive under-pressure, the associated
CAX isolation valve closes and the fan starts to operate.

Interfaces Description
The four CPIOM-Bs host the Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS)
application.
Each CPIOM-B is connected via ARINC 429 bus to one OC(S)M:
- OC(S)M 1 with CPIOM-B3,
- OC(S)M 2 with CPIOM-B1,
- OC(S)M 3 with CPIOM-B4,
- OC(S)M 4 with CPIOM-B2.
At least 2 OCSMs (with ACP sensors) out of 4 OC(S)Ms are required
for normal operation.
Each CPIOM-B sends to its related OC(S)M:
- The control commands,
- The status information,
- The valve position commands.
The OC(S)M sends to the related CPIOM-B:
- The cabin pressure sensor values,
- The OFV position feedback.
All command signals and cabin pressure sensor values are shared
between the ACP parts of the OC(S)Ms through a Time Triggered
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D8PRESSUR01

Protocol (TTP) bus. The bus is also used for system synchronization.
A CAN bus link is used between CPIOM-B2 and B4 and the OCSMs
for the ACP software data loading from the VCS application.
All the OFV data go through the EPP part of the OC(S)Ms. Thus the
ACP controls and monitors the OFVs via the EPP.
The CPCS 1 reset switch resets:
- The CPCS 1 application, hosted in CPIOM-B1 and B2,
- The OC(S)Ms 1 and 2.
The CPCS 1 reset switch is located on the reset panel 1231VM.
The CPCS 2 reset switch resets:
- The CPCS 2 application, hosted in CPIOM-B3 and B4,
- The OC(S)Ms 3 and 4.

Safety and Override Pressurization
The SOP of each OC(S)M is segregated from the ACP. If required, the
flight crew can select the OVRD mode and the required cabin rate and
altitude target on the ICP. These signals are sent to the OC(S)M and
converted into an OFV position demand. The EPP uses this position
demand to control the OFV motor.
The OC(S)M SOPs can cross-communicate via an RS 422 bus. Mainly,
cabin and ambient pressure sensor values and OFV position and position
demands are exchanged.
A unidirectional ARINC 429 bus links:
- The Differential Pressure Sensor Module (DPSM) to the OC(S)M 1,
- The Air Data and Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) 2 to the OC(S)M
2,
- The Integrated Standby Instrument Systems (ISIS) 2 and 1 to the
OC(S)Ms 3 and 4 respectively.
The Landing Gear Extension and Retraction System (LGERS) and the
Brake Control System (BCS) give to SOPs information to derive specific
ground conditions (L/G pressed/compressed, wheel speed), independent
from the ADCN.
The SOPs of OC(S)Ms 2 and 3 send to the aft Ventilation Control Module
(VCM) an Override Relief Valve Dump (ORVD) opening inhibition
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21D8PRESSUR01

signal.
The Emergency Pressurization Partition (EPP) is responsible for:
- The computation of cabin pressure and differential pressure,
- The OFV motor computation based on position demands from the ACP
and/or SOP,
- The protection of positive differential pressure and cabin altitude limits
against inadvertent function from the ACP and/or SOP,
- The warnings to the FWS in case of strong system malfunction,
- The limitation of the maximum negative differential pressure.

tunnel area front wall. The Bulk cargo compartment supply duct collects
ambient air and supplies this air through a supply isolation-valve to four
air supply outlets installed in the rear compartment wall.
An extraction fan draws the air through the Bulk cargo compartment and
tunnel area to the extraction outlets and ducts installed on both sides of
the aft Cargo Compartment. These extraction ducts lead to an extraction
isolation valve and the extraction fan. Both components are installed in
the aft bilge area. The fan blows the extracted air near the aft outflow
valve. The extracted air is finally discharged overboard. The suction
principle gives a negative differential pressure in the BULK cargo
compartment to keep odours out of the cabin and cockpit.

The isolation-valves stop the airflow in and out of the Bulk cargo
compartment and tunnel area if there is:
- A smoke warning,
- A ditching procedure or,
- The ventilation system is shutdown.
A duct heater is installed in a supply duct connected to the LP
recirculation manifold. The duct heater heats the LP recirculated air that
flows through. The heated air flows through an injector into an open inlet
cone. This produces bypass airflow of MD cabin ambient air into the
inlet cone. The mixed air flows through the ventilation duct and the
isolation valve into the Bulk cargo compartment.

back-up valve opening if it is self-detected as failed.
The AVS application controls and monitors the overboard valve. The
overboard valve remains open on ground as long as no inboard engine
is running. This valve can also be partially open by action on the
EXTRACT pushbutton installed on the VENT overhead panel 1212VM.
An action on the DITCHING pushbutton, installed on the CAB PRESS
overhead panel 1215VM, will force the overboard valve closure.
The AVS application monitors the inboard valve status. The inboard
valve control depends directly on the overboard valve position. The
inboard valve is closed when the overboard valve is open and vice versa.
The valve is controlled closed by action on the EXTRACT pushbutton
switch.
The AVS application receives the flight/ground signals from the Landing
Gear Remote Data Concentrators (LGRDCs) and the extract warning
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21DKAVSVENT01

signal from the extract fan. It controls the ground horn and the light of
the GROUND SERVICE panel 1GN.
A reset switch installed on the RESET panel 1231 VM can be used to
reset the system controllers. The AVS reset switch sends a discrete reset
signal to the AVS application hosted in the CPIOM-B3 and B4.
The AVS application receives the blower and extract fans speed and
status via CAN bus.

IFE CENTER VENTILATION DESCRIPTION (3)


System Description
A filter/muffler/fan combination provides the In-Flight Entertainment
Center (IFEC) ventilation. The IFEC ventilation system is installed in
the LH lower deck triangle area between frame 23 and 27. As a back-up,
the mixer supply line can ventilate the IFEC in case of fan failure or high
ambient temperature condition.
The fan continuously blows filtered air to the IFEC as soon as the A/C
is energized.
One back-up valve (normally closed) fully opens in order to ventilate the
IFEC with mixer unit air when the cooling capacity of the fan is
insufficient.
Sensors check the air temperature and smoke presence on the IFEC output.
The IFEC leaving air is sent to the FWD cargo bilge.

Each aft check-valve fulfills a common zone B ventilation from both
System Description sub-systems, and, at the same time, prevents reverse flow from the
adjacent sub-system.
The Unpressurized Compartments Ventilation system is installed in the
belly fairing zone A and zone B.
- Zone A is the part including AGU compartments.
- Zone B is the zone located at each side of C46 and below the center
wing box.
The system ventilates:
- The AGU compartments,
- The APU bleed duct,
- The HP ground connection ducts,
- The cross bleed duct,
- The center wing box.
The System operates on ground and in flight in order to maintain a
temperature compatible with the structure constraints in the unpressurized
compartments.
The Unpressurized Compartments Ventilation system is composed of
two identical sub-systems, LH and RH sides. Each sub-system has:
- A Turbofan Supply Valve (TSV),
- A turbofan,
- Two check-valves,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21DNBAYVENT01

- A NACA air inlet.


When open (on ground), the TSV enables air from the bleed air system
(ATA 36) to be sent to its related turbofan. In flight, the TSV closes the
turbine bleed air supply.
On ground, turbofans draw outside air through the NACA air inlets. In
flight, dynamic air enters through the NACA inlets and ventilates the
users.
The forward check-valves close on ground during the turbofans operation,
to prevent air recirculation through the bypass duct.
The forward check-valves open in flight, letting the ram air bypass the
turbofans, which are in windmilling mode.

Interfaces Description
The Unpressurized Compartments Ventilation system has an interface
with 2 Full Digital AGU Controllers (FDACs). The FDACs (FDAC 1
for LH, FDAC 2 for RH) control the TSV solenoid valves and monitor
their position sent by the TSV microswitches. The FDACs also receive
the turbofans speed value.
The Air Generation System (AGS) application, hosted in the CPIOM-Bs,
monitors the FDACs:
- FDAC 1 by CPIOM-Bs 1 and 3,
- FDAC 2 by CPIOM-Bs 2 and 4.
The LGERS application, hosted in the CPIOM-Gs, sends the
on-ground/in-flight signal to the Unpressurized Compartments Ventilation
system.
The AGS application transmits data to the FWS for the alert computation
need. The FWS transmits the flight phase to the AGS for the AGS BITE.
The AGS transmits the following data to the OMS:
- Fault messages from the BITE to the CMS for failure isolation, failure
memorization and reports generation,
- Its configuration to the DLCS for configuration monitoring and
management,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM21DNBAYVENT01

- System parameters to the ACMS for real time monitoring and reports
generation.
The CMS can launch AGS interactive tests from the maintenance
terminals.
The DLCS loads the AGS application and AGS pin-programming
configuration, in the CPIOM-Bs.
