titude reaches the selected value, which may
happen before the air plane reaches the se-
lected altitude. Then as the airplane descends
to and reaches the cabin pressure altitude the
negative pressure relief function opens the
out-flow and safety valve poppets toward the
fully open position, thereby equalizing the
pressure inside and outside the pressure ves-
sel. As the air plane continues to descend
below the preselected cabin pressure altitude,
the cabin will be unpressurized and will fol-
low the airplane rate of descent to touchdown.
NOTE
As cabin
∆
P approaches zero dur-
ing a descent, the flapper door may
be forced open by ram air at air-
speeds above approximately 180
KIAS, causing a rapid depressur-
ization of the remaining cabin
∆
P
and an increase in air noise.
This opening of the flapper door
can be prevented by ensuring that
t h e c a b i n A l t i t u d e S e l e c t o r i s
properly set to 500 feet above the
l a n d i n g p r e s s u r e a l t i t u d e a n d
m a i n t a i n i n g s p e e d s b e l o w 1 8 0
KIAS in the landing patter n.
FLOW CONTROL UNIT
A flow control unit, mounted in each nacelle
on the forward side of the f irewall, controls
the bleed air from the engine for use in pres-
s u r i z a t i o n , h e a t i n g , a n d ve n t i l a t i o n . T h e
function of the flow control unit (Figure 12-
14) is to var y the flow and balance of bleed
air and ambient air to the cabin pressure ves-
sel. This is done by means of temperature
and pressure sensors and their related mod-
ulating valves.
