Maintenance Manual 21-50-00 May 15/95 Page 1 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 1. GENERAL The air conditioning system for the Cessna 500 series aircraft consists of a refrigerant R134a vapor cycle cooling system. This system allows the co-pilot to control cooling for a comfortable aircraft cabin. Figure 1 shows a general arrangement of the air conditioning system. The co-pilot's control panel contains the cooling system ON/OFF/FAN switch, the FWD fan LOW/HIGH switch, the AFT fan OFF/LOW/HIGH and a blue A/C system ON indicator. 2. COOLING SYSTEM The cooling or air conditioning system, as designed and manufactured by Keith Products for the Cessna 500 Series aircraft, is a vapor cycle type cooling system using refrigerant R134a. The system is electrically operated using the aircraft 28 VDC electrical system and is operable in all normal flight modes up to 18,000 feet MSL. Air conditioning may be operated with ground external power or the aircraft electrical system providing 28 vDC to the non-essential buss. The major components of the system are the compressor/condenser assembly with blower, and two evaporator/cabin blower units. Refrigerant plumbing and electrical systems connect the major component to provide a closed loop system. The compressor/condenser assembly is mounted either forward of the rear baggage door; or in the baggage compartment. The compressor drive and condenser fan drive are both driven by a common, double shafted motor which turns at approximately 4500 RPM. The compressor is belt driven from the shortest shaft while the condenser

fan is attached directly to the longer motor shaft. Condenser cooling air (ambient air) is drawn in through a cutout in either underside of the engine pylon or the right side of the fuselage of the aircraft by the condenser fan. The air passes over the compressor and drive motor to provide cooling airflow for those components prior to passing through the condenser coil to remove heat from the system. After passing through the condenser coil, the air is exhausted to the outside through an exhaust duct located either on the underside of the fuselage; or through a cutout on the left side of the aircraft. The compressor takes low pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it to a higher pressure and temperature. Products, Inc. Maintenance Manual 21-50-00 May 15/95 Page 2 An evaporator/blower unit is located in the aft cabin at the end of the recessed isle (at floor level) within the aircraft interior. It provides cooling airflow for the cabin area of the interior. A forward evaporator is located at the cockpit floor and provides cooling airflow to the flight crew through a floor mounted air outlet or through dedicated ducting at the pilot's and co- pilot's control stick. Both evaporators are of a design wherein the cabin air is drawn into the evaporator coil and the fan then delivers the conditioned air to the cabin. This recirculating system continues to dry and cool the air each time it passes through the evaporator. Moisture removed from the air by the cold coil (condensate) is collected within the evaporator housing and is forced overboard. Each evaporator is equipped with a thermal expansion valve which regulates the amount of refrigerant entering the coil to provide optimum cooling effect. The evaporator blowers can be operated in the "FAN" position to re-irculate cabin air without cooling. Each blower is operated from an independent fan speed control. The plumbing which connects the compressor, condenser and the evaporators, consists of rubber based hoses with a nylon barrier. The fittings are permanently swaged onto the hoses. All fittings are "o-ring" type connections with sealant on the fitting mating surfaces to prevent refrigerant leaks. Two R134a service valves are located near the compressor/condenser pallet assembly. They are sized differently to avoid incorrect cross-connecting when gaining access to the plumbing for system recharging. On the ground, the electrical system allows operation of the air conditioning system from either aircraft power or from an active GPU prior to engine start. System safety features include electrical interlocking and load shedding. In flight, the air conditioning system can be operated from the aircraft electrical system only with both generators on line. Loss of either generator will automatically shed the air conditioning system electrical loads except for the minimal loads of the evaporator fans. The entire air conditioning refrigerant loop is protected against over pressure conditions by two separate safety devices. The first device is a binary high/low pressure switch that activates in the event of an overpressure and is on the compressor discharge port. This switch will open at approximately 350 PSIG and will interrupt power to the compressor control circuit. This in turn will de-energize the compressor motor relay and remove power to the compressor motor. The refrigerant system pressures will then drop. The switch will also interrupt power to the compressor control circuit under low pressure conditions. The second overpressure safety device is a fuse plug which will vent the system refrigerant safely overboard in the event of a system pressure in excess of 425 PSIG. It is located on the receiver/drier. Products, Inc. Maintenance Manual 21-50-00 May 15/95 Page 3 Figure 1. Air Conditioning System General Arrangement Products, Inc. Maintenance Manual 21-50-01 May 15/95 Page 1 ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1. GENERAL The air conditioning system consists of one high energy compressor/condenser drive motor and two centrifugal evaporator blowers (Fwd) and (Aft). The system is controlled by a mode switch with Air Conditioning Off and Fan Only position. Each evaporator has a high and low position switch. A blue indicator light will illuminate whenever the compressor/condenser is selected. The system incorporates a binary pressure switch to sense an over pressure or under pressure condition in the system. The air conditioning system in controlled by a Logic Card which monitors generator, GPU and battery inputs to ensure operation or shedding of the system if a fault exists. The system is protected by a 15 amp control and blower breaker and a 100 amp breaker for the compressor/condenser drive motor. This section of the maintenance manual describes the electrical system and presents electrical troubleshooting procedures. An Illustrated Parts List is included in Figure 1. 2. LOAD/SHED DESCRIPTION The system incorporates a logic control PC card that enables the system to operate or be shed under various conditions. The table below shows operation under various conditions.

Maintenance Manual 21-50-02 May 15/95 Page1 PLUMBING DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1. GENERAL The plumbing system consists of a flexible nylon lined refrigerant hose with permanent swaged on fittings. All connections are tube O-ring type with sealant on the fitting mating surfaces to ensure leak free operation. Hose, O-ring material, and sealant are specially designed to work with refrigerant R134a and polyol ester oils. Two service valves are located near the compressor/condenser assembly. They are sized differently to avoid incorrect cross-connecting when gaining access to the plumbing for system recharging. A receiver/drier is installed downstream of the condenser to remove moisture from the liquid refrigerant. A binary pressure switch monitors the refrigerant gas pressure. This switch will open at a condenser over pressure of 350 psi and under pressured conditions of 30 psi. This will interrupt the power to the compressor control circuit and stop the compressor. This section of the maintenance manual discusses checks and maintenance practices used for the plumbing portion of the air conditioning system. An Illustrated Parts List is included in Figure 1.

Maintenance Manual 21-50-03 May 15-95 Page 1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1. GENERAL The compressor/condenser assembly is located either forward of the rear baggage door; or in the baggage compartment. This unit consists of a drive motor, compressor, condenser fan assembly, condenser coil, and pressure switch. The drive motor via a multi V flat belt, turns the compressor which compresses the refrigerant gas at which it will condense at ambient temperatures. This gas is directed to the condenser where its heat is removed by air flow from the condenser fan. The fan is attached to the long shaft of the drive motor. This air is exhausted overboard via exhaust duct located either on the bottom of the aircraft or on the left side of the aircraft. The condenser condenses the refrigerant gas to a liquid. This liquid is collected by the receiver/drier where moisture is removed. A binary pressure switch monitors the refrigerant gas pressure. This switch will open at a condenser over pressure of 350 psi and under pressure conditions of 30 psi. This will interrupt the signal to the control board and stop the compressor/condenser unit. This section of the maintenance manual discusses troubleshooting and maintenance practices used for the compressor/condenser assembly portion of the air conditioning system.

Spray coil cleaner on both coil faces. Wash off with water. 3. Allow condenser coil to dry thoroughly prior to additional maintenance. D. Compressor Oil Level Check NOTE: It is not necessary to check the compressor oil level during routine maintenance. It only needs to be checked when a system component is replaced or when incorrect oil level is suspected. Use only polyol ester oil viscosity grade 68. 1. Operate air conditioning system for 10 minutes. This will collect as much oil as possible in the compressor. 2. Discharge air conditioning system and remove compressor from aircraft. 3. Place compressor on table such that the oil fill plug is up. 4. Remove oil fill plug. 5. Insert dipstick into oil fill port. 6. Check that the oil level is 5 fluid ounces (at the 5th increment). Add or subtract oil in 1 fluid ounce increments until 5 fluid ounces is obtained. 7. Clean oil fill port area and install oil fill plug. Torque plug to 6 - 9 ft-lbs. Figure 201.
