A. System Function

The compression system supplies pressure and flow controlled bleed-air from each engine to the air-conditioning packs.

B. System Components (Ref. Fig. 1)

The primary components of the system are the:
  • High-Pressure Shut-Off Valves (HPSOV)
  • Check Valves
  • Pressure-Regulator Shut-off Valves (PRSOV)
  • Venturi
  • Over-pressure switches
  • Particle separator
C. System Operation

The bleed air from the engines flows through the components of the compression system to the air-conditioning packs. The components of the compression system make sure the airflow is at the correct pressure.
