Control system for pressurization, ventilation and air conditioning of an aircraft
It consists of two electrically fed pneumatic independent compressors (CAC) ( 2 ) which are connected to an independent controller of (CACs) ( 5 ), an auxiliary power unit (APU) ( 3 ) sized for independently feeding each (PACK) ( 1 ) in the operations of the aircraft both on the ground and in flight, which is connected to an independent controller of (APU) ( 6 ) and a central controller ( 12 ) connected to the controllers ( 5 and 6 ) so that the (PACKs) are individually fed either by a (CAC) ( 2 ) or by the (APU) ( 3 ) and in such a way that a single (PACK) ( 1 ) is fed or several of them.
1 . CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZATION, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING OF AN AIRCRAFT, which includes pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACK) ( 1 ), electrically fed independent pneumatic compressors (CAC) ( 2 ), a power unit (APU) ( 3 ) with pneumatic compressor and with at least one electrical power generator, and pneumatic distribution means ( 7 ) for pneumatically feeding the pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACKs) ( 1 ); wherein it consists of two electrically fed independent pneumatic compressors (CACs) ( 2 ), which are connected to an independent CACs controller ( 5 ); an auxiliary power unit (APU) ( 3 ) sized for feeding the pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACK) ( 1 ) in a manner selected between independent or in connection with the operations of the aircraft both on the ground or in flight, which is connected to an independent APU controller ( 6 ); an independent controller of pneumatic air conditioning kits PACKs ( 4 ), and a central controller ( 12 ) connected to the independent CACs controller ( 5 ), to the independent (APU) controller ( 6 ) and to the independent controller of the pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACKs) ( 4 ), so that the pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACKs) ( 1 ) can be individually fed by a source selected from between an electrically fed independent pneumatic compressor (CAC) ( 2 ) or the auxiliary power unit (APU) ( 3 ) to either one PACK ( 1 ) or a plurality of PACKs ( 1 ); the central controller ( 12 ) being connected to an electrical system of the aircraft which governs the demand and distribution of electrical power of the aircraft.
2 . CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZATION, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING OF AN AIRCRAFT, according to claim 1 , wherein a change of pneumatically feeding a pneumatic air conditioning kit (PACK) ( 1 ) by means of an associated independent electrically fed independent pneumatic compressor (CAC) ( 2 ), when fed by means of the auxiliary power unit (APU) (2), is carried out in a manner selected between manual or automatic.
3 . CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZATION, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING OF AN AIRCRAFT, according to claim 1 , wherein the independent controller of the auxiliary power unit (APU) ( 6 ) includes means so that the electrical power generator of the auxiliary power unit (APU) can supply at least all the power equivalent to that necessary for feeding the functioning of some electrically fed independent pneumatic compressors (CAC) ( 2 ) and their independent (CAC) controller ( 5 ), in the event of failure of the generators of the main engines and in the event of a main engine being inoperative.
4 . CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZATION, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING OF AN AIRCRAFT, according to claim 1 wherein the electrically fed independent pneumatic compressors (CAC) ( 2 ) and the pneumatic air conditioning kits (PACKs) ( 1 ) are located in a position selected from between the end fuselage section and the belly fairing area of the aircraft, the auxiliary power unit (APU) ( 2 ) being located in the tailcone of the aircraft.
