A visual position indicator is located on the top of the indicator.
PADS Components (continued) A manual override is used for the operation of the valve without
electrical power.
HP Ground Connectors
The weight of the valves is around 6 kg.
The three HP Ground Connectors are installed in the belly fairing.
They are installed on a duct connected to the left hand side of the
bleed manifold.
Each connector is has a check valve and a built-in nipple.
Center Crossbleed Valve and APU Isolation Valve
The Center XBLEED valve and the APU Isolation valve are identical
They are butterfly-type valves with two electrical motors working
independently. One motor is used for automatic control, and the other
for the manual control and as a backup. After each flight, the automatic
operation of the valve is switched to the other motor.
A brake system in each motor locks the butterfly plate in position
when the electrical power supply stops.
A visual position indicator is located on the top of the indicator.
A manual override is used for the operation of the valve without

The left hand and right hand XBLEED valves are identical. They are
installed in the wings root.
The main function of these valves is to make sure that the isolation
of adjacent engine bleed to avoids dual loss of engine bleed, especially
when a leak has been detected.
They are butterfly-type valves, with two electrical motors working
independently. One motor is used for automatic control, and the other
for the manual control and as a backup. After each flight, the automatic

PADS Control
The 4 CPIOMs-A receive control signals from both the cross bleed
selector and the APU bleed valve push button, located on the AIR control
panel.
Each of CPIOM-A is in charge of controlling and monitoring the related
bleed or isolation valve through each relay systems.
A relay system controls the valve direction and the electrical supply.
Each CPIOM-A provides the control and monitoring backup of another
valve in case of failure of one CPIOM-A one DC supply or one valve
motor.
In each CPIOM-A, the PADS application manages all PADS relevant
commands.
The APU bleed valve push button commands the APU bleed valve under
ECB management.
The cross bleed selector sets 3 valves modes in:
- Automatic mode
In case of failure (leak detection), the isolation function separates the
relevant cross bleed duct from the system automatically.
- Open Mode (manual mode)
The center, left and right hand cross bleed valves are open.
- Close mode (manual mode)
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM36D1000000001

The center, left and right hand cross bleed valves are closed.

PADS valve positions
On ground, if the bleed air is not required, the system commands the 3
cross bleed valves and the APU Isolation Valve to the open position.
In normal operation, with APU supply, all the three cross bleed valves,
the APU Isolation valve and the APU bleed valve are open.
In normal operation, with 4 Engine Bleed Air Systems, all cross bleed
valves and the APU Isolation Valve are closed.
In failure cases, with engine asymmetric engine bleed supply, the 3 cross
bleed valves are automatically open to share the flow between adjacent
engines.

Fan Air Valve (FAV)
The Fan Air Valve (FAV) is a pneumatically actuated and electrically
controlled valve. It is a butterfly-type valve located in the engine
pylon.
Its function is to regulate fan air-flow through the precooler in order
to cool down the bleed air to a target value, depending on air users
needs.
The FAV is composed of:
- the valve body,
- the FAV actuator.
Precooler
The precooler is an air-to-air heat exchanger that cools down pressure
regulated bleed air by using fan air.
It weights 54.1 kg.
Bleed Temperature Sensor
The bleed temperature sensor is a dual sensor installed in the pylon,
downstream of the precooler. It provides temperature measurement
for temperature control, indication, and over temperature or low

EBAS Control (continued)
Engine Bleed Port Selection
The engine bleed port selection is done by:
- the HP Bleed Valve
- the IP Bleed Check Valve
- the Intermediate Pressure transducer (Pip)
- the Transferred Pressure tranducer (Pt)
- and the EBAS application hosted in the 4 CPIOMs-A.
Depending on IP pressure and air users demand, the CPIOM-A opens
or closes the HP Bleed Valve to select the port to use, by energizing
(open) or de-energizing (close) its solenoid.
During most of flight phases, the IP Bleed Check Valve is open while
the HP Bleed Valve is closed.
When the engine operates at low rating, the HP Bleed Valve is
electrically controlled open and the IP Bleed Check Valve closes by
counter pressure.
Three operating modes can be used for bleed port selection:
- Electronic switching - Air consumer nominal configuration
HPV opening/closing is controlled to make sure that the Air
Generation System (AGS, ATA 21) and Wing Anti Ice valves (WAI,

ATA 30) will be supplied with 25psig minimum.


- Electronic switching - Air consumer pressure boost configuration
- Pneumatic switching - Degraded mode
When IP port pressure is lower than 48.5 psig then IPCV closes
automatically by counter pressure.

OPERATION, CONTROL & INDICATING (3)


Indicating and Monitoring System Overview
The indicating system shows the condition of the pneumatic system. It
monitors the bleed air pressure and temperature, and the position of the
different valves.
The primary indications are shown on the ECAM SD and the ECAM
EWD. Indications are also shown on the AIR overhead panel.
ECAM SD and EWD
In normal operating conditions, when the BLEED P/BSW on the ECAM
Control Panel (ECP) is pushed, the ECAM BLEED page is shown on
the ECAM SD.
The ECAM BLEED page shows the parameters related to the bleed air
system operation (regulated pressure, temperature, and valve positions)
and operative function. If a failure occurs (overpressure, over temperature,
incorrect valve position, duct leak...) the ECAM BLEED page is
automatically shown on the ECAM SD.
An ECAM alert together with the necessary corrective action is displayed
on ECAM EWD. Temperature, pressure, and valve position monitoring,
temperature sensors and pressure transducers monitor the temperature
and the pressure of the engine bleed system. They transmit temperature
and pressure data to the Engine Bleed Air System (EBAS) modules.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM36O1LEVEL0301

The Pneumatic Air Distribution System (PADS) valves position switches


transmit the valve position data to the Control and Display System (CDS).
The EBAS valves position will be determined by pressure measurement
to the EBAS modules.
The EBAS modules transmit the bleed air temperature and pressure data
and the valve position data to the CDS.

Indicating and Monitoring System Overview (continued)
Bleed Indicating on ECAM SD
Already seen in the level 2, ATA 36 (monitoring through BLEED
page) The ECAM BLEED page indicates:
- the valve positions: HP Bleed Valve (HPV) and Pressure Regulating
Valve (PRV),
- the duct temperature, downstream the precooler (Ts),
- the duct pressure (downstream the engine bleed valves),
- the PADS valves position (crossbleed valves and APU-IV).
The pressure and temperature of each engine bleed air system is
monitored by:
- the regulated pressure sensor (Pr), which is used by the EBAS module
for bleed pressure closed loop electronic control and system monitoring
(overpressure and low pressure warnings),
- the transferred pressure sensor (Pt), which is used to monitor the
pressure upstream the PRV,
- the intermediate pressure sensor (Pip), which is used to monitor the
pressure upstream the IPCV,
- the differential pressure sensor (DP), which is used to compute the
bleed mass flow for bleed flow balance control,
- the temperature sensor (Ts), which is a dual sensor providing double
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM36O1LEVEL0301

air temperature measurement to the EBAS module for bleed


temperature closed loop electronic control and system monitoring
(over temperature and low temperature warnings).
In case of pressure or temperature signal, the respective indication on
ECAM BLEED page is set to amber XX.
