1.1.4.1

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

Rev 00
01 Aug 06

An APU is a self-contained unit which makes the aircraft independent of


extenal pneumatic and electrical power supply. On ground, it supplies
bleed air for starting the engines and for the air conditioning system; and
supplies electrical power to the electrical supply. During take-off, it
supplies bleed air for air conditioning, thus avoiding a reduction in engine
thrust caused by the use of engine bleed air for this purpose when
optimum aircraft performance is required. In flight, it backs up the
Electrical system and the Air conditioning, it can be used to start the
engines.
1.1.4.2

Aircraft Electrical Power


The electrical power system consists of a three phase 115/200 volt 400
Hertz constant frequency AC system and a 28 volt DC system.
Electrical transients are acceptable for equipment.
Commercial supply has secondary priority.
Normally, the system produces alternating current, some of which then
transform into direct current for certain applications.
Each of the aircrafts three generators can supply the whole network.
If all normal AC generation is lost, an emergency generator can supply
AC power.
If all AC generation is lost, the system can transform DC power from
batteries into AC power.

1.1.4.3

Air Conditioning and Pressurization


Normally, bleed air for air conditioning and pressurization is supplied by
the engines. The APU can also be used to supply bleed air.
Temperature is controlled separately for the flight deck and for the
forward cabin, middle cabin, after cabin. Cabin crew can control cabin
temperature through the control panel on the forward attendant panel. It
can modify each cabin zone temperature demand from the cockpit,
during cruise, with a limited authority of 2.5oC.
The cabin pressure is controlled automatically to provide a programmed
cabin altitude.

Two independent oxygen systems are provided: one for the flight deck
and one for the passengers and cabin crew.
1.8.2.2

Passenger and Cabin Crew Oxygen


The cabin oxygen system supplies oxygen to the cabin crew and
passengers during emergencies. Modular oxygen generating and
dispensing units are provided above the passenger seats, in lavatories
and at each cabin crew station.
Each unit contains a chlorate generator and two or more continuous
flow oxygen masks with flexible supply hoses.
The oxygen masks are released automatically, if the cabin pressure
decreases.
The masks can be released manually by pushing the MAN ON
pushbutton on the cockpit panel. The unit doors can also be opened
with a manual release tool.

1.8.2.3

Oxygen Unit Distribution


Oxygen units are distributed throughout the aircraft is accordance with
the following diagrams.
Cabin crew should be aware of the oxygen unit distribution and when
there is more than the normal number of occupants in any seat row (e.g.
when there are additional infants or children) it may be necessary in this
case for the passengers to change rows to one where there are more
oxygen units available.
