Component Description
Anti Icing Control Valve
Purpose
The anti icing control valve allows the flow of HPC stage 7
air to enter the TAI manifold in the intake cowl.
Location
The anti icing valve is located on the right hand side of the
fan case in the 4 oclock position.
Description
The anti icing control valve has the following function:
On/off selection from the flight deck to allow the flow of
warm air to the TAI manifold.
The anti icing valve is made up of the following items:
Valve body.
Linear moving piston.
Control solenoid.
Air filter.
Butterfly valve.
Micro switch.
Manual override (as per MMEL requirements).

LOCKOUT PIN

along with spring pressure holds the butterfly valve in the
closed position.
Valve open
The control solenoid is de energised.
The ball valve is no longer held by the control solenoid
against the ambient vent. The ball valve moves by spring
pressure against the orifice, which allows upstream air to
enter area A.
This now prevents air passage to area A of the piston.
The air pressure now remains at piston area B only. This
pressure is greater than the spring pressure alone therefor
the piston moves against the spring pressure.
The resultant movement opens the butterfly valve and
allows HPC stage 7 air to flow towards the TAI manifold.
Fail safe position
The fail safe position is as follows:
Solenoid de energised.
Servo air pressure at piston area B only.
Butterfly valve in the open position.
