INTRODUCTION
Air conditioning on the Lear 20 series is provided by regulated bleed air that is temperature
controlled and distributed throughout the cabin cockpit. Supplemental cooling and heat-
ing are provided by a refrigeration system and an optional auxiliary heating system. These
supplemental systems have a separate distribution network through which the air is cir-
culated by a cabin blower and cockpit fan.
GENERAL
Primary heating and cooling are accomplished
by controlling the temperature of the bleed air
entering the cabin. The distribution systems
vary slightly based on model and serial number.
Supplemental cooling is provided by a Freon
refrigeration system that may be used on the
g r o u n d a n d i n t h e a i r u p t o a m a x i m u m
altitude of 18,000 feet.The auxiliary heating
system, if installed, may be used on the ground
and in the air at any altitude.
A typical conditioned bleed-air distribution
system is shown in Figure 11-1.
