from the various bleed air sources and supply it to the aircraft users.
Air Sources
The air sources are:
- the four engines,
- the APU and,
- a ground air source via the three High Pressure Ground Connectors.
Users
The Users of the pneumatic system are:
- the Air Conditioning System for hot air feed and unpressurized bay
ventilation,
- the Wing Anti-Ice System,
- the Engine Starting System to give compressed air to the engine starters
and,
- the Hydraulic System for reservoir pressurization.
PADS components
The main components of the PADS are:
- the crossbleed manifold,
- the three crossbleed valves (left, center and right,)

PADS Control and Indicating
The PADS controls are located on the AIR PANEL (1225VM).
These controls are:
- the CROSSBLEED selector and,
- the APU BLEED P/BSW.
Indications concerning the PADS are displayed on the ECAM BLEED
PAGE.

The crossbleed selector located on the overhead panel is used to choose
the control mode of the valves.
Three modes are available:
- the manual OPEN mode, to open the three crossbleed valves
manually,
- the manual CLOSE mode, to close the three valves manually and,
- the AUTO mode, to use an automatic control of the valves by the
four CPIOM-A.
Note that in normal operation, the selector is on the AUTO position.
APU Bleed system

The APU bleed duct is connected to the left hand side of the crossbleed
manifold.
The APU isolation valve allows compressed air from the APU to go to
the crossbleed manifold.
System control
When you need APU bleed air supply, press the APU BLEED
pushbutton switch located on the AIR panel (1225VM). The signal
is received by the 4 CPIOMs-A, which command the APU isolation
valve to open. At the same time, the Electronic Control Box (ECB)
opens the APU bleed valve.

CROSSBLEED SYSTEM ... GROUND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
ENGINE BLEED AIR SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

General
Engine Bleed Air is the main compressed air source during flight. It
supplies pressure and temperature regulated air to the Pneumatic Air
Distribution System (PADS).
On each engine, air is bled from either an Intermediate Pressure (IP) port
or a High Pressure (HP) port on the engine compressor.
The engine bleed IP/HP selection system selects the appropriate bleed
port according to engine operation parameters.
Then, the engine bleed pressure control system regulates the bleed
pressure according to the users bleed demand.
Finally, the engine bleed temperature control system cools the bleed air
using fan air.

Engine Bleed Control and Indicating
The EBAS controls are located on the AIR panel (1225VM). These
controls are the four ENGine BLEED pushbutton switches.
Indications concerning the EBAS are displayed on the ECAM BLEED
page.

ENGINE BLEED CONTROL AND INDICATING

Engine Bleed Functions
Engine Bleed Air System is controlled automatically by the EBAS
application hosted in the four CPIOMs-A.
It is possible to switch off one or several engine bleed system(s) by
releasing out the corresponding ENGine BLEED pushbutton switch.
Engine Bleed Port Selection
Engine bleed port selection is achieved through the HP Bleed Valve
and the IP Bleed Check Valve.
Using Pressure sensors feedback, the EBAS application of the
CPIOM-A opens or closes the HP Bleed valve depending on the Bleed
demand and the pressure available at the IP port.
Most of the time, air is bled from the IP port. The HP port is used
when the engine is running at low-rating and the IP pressure is not
sufficient to meet the user demand at such rate.
Engine Bleed Air Pressure Control
The Bleed Valve and the Overpressure Valve (OPV) ensure engine
bleed pressure control.
Using Pressure sensors feedback, the EBAS application of the
CPIOM-A modulates the Bleed Valve position in order to reach the
user pressure demand.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM36P2000000001
The OPV protects the system against overpressure in case of EBAS

failure.
Engine Bleed Air Temperature Control
The Fan Air Valve (FAV) ensures engine bleed temperature control.
Using temperature sensor feedback, the EBAS application hosted in
the CPIOMs-A modulates fan airflow through the pre-cooler heat
exchanger to cool down the bleed air to the correct temperature.

OVERHEAT DETECTION SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

System architecture
The OverHeat Detection System (OHDS) detection loops are located
along the pneumatic system duct network and around some air
conditioning system components.
Each of the monitored area is equipped with dual detection loops (A loops
and B loops).
Dual detection loops are installed:
- on each engine pylon,
- on the wings bleed ducts,
- on the inner wings bleed ducts,
- in the left and right Air Generation Unit (AGU) bays,
- on the upper and lower trim air ducts,
- in the crossbleed valve area,
- and on the APU bleed duct.
Each detection loop is composed of sensing elements connected in series.

OVERHEAT DETECTION SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

Loop Monitoring
Two OverHeat Detection Units (OHDU) monitor the detection loops.
They are located in the left and right avionics bay racks (2300VU and
2400 VU).
If a leak is detected, the OHDU sends a signal to the CPIOM-A. Then,
the OHDS application hosted in the CPIOM-A triggers appropriate valve
closure and sends a leak message to the Flight Warning System (FWS),
to the Control and Display System (CDS) for indication and to the
Onboard Maintenance System (OMS) for leak localization.
If a leak is detected, fault lights illuminate on the corresponding BLEED
pushbutton on the AIR panel (1225VM).

Pneumatic System safety items
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the pneumatic
system.
Make sure that the pneumatic system is depressurized before starting the
work, pressurized air can cause unwanted pressurization of the aircraft,
and injury to personnel.
Parts can be hot for 1 hour after engine shutdown. Do not touch them
until they are sufficiently cool.
