BLEED AIR
GENERAL
Bleed air is generated by the engines or the APU or can be supplied from an external source via
the ground connector. The following aircraft consumers use the following bleed sources:
Environmental Control System (ECS) (refer to Section 12210000 AIR CONDITIONING)
Uses engine and APU bleed supplies.
Airfoil deice and engine nacelle antiice system (refer to Section 12300000 ICE &
RAIN PROTECTION) Uses engine bleed supply.
Starting system (refer to Section 12720000 ENGINE) Uses engine, APU and ground
connector bleed supplies.
Bleed air for the pneumatic system is tapped from bleed ports on each engine or the APU
through flight crew controlled shutoff valves. It can be also supplied via the ground connector
that connects to the APU bleed line downstream of the APU. A crossbleed duct equipped with a
crossbleed valve connects the bleed air outlet ducts from each engine. The valve is normally
closed but can be opened electrically at the discretion of the flight crew using the XBLEED
button on the ECS control panel. This allows both engine bleed air systems to be supplied from
a single bleed source. The APU line is connected to the crossbleed line such that it normally
supplies the RH engine pneumatic system if the crossbleed valve is closed. Individual ducts
supply the LH and RH ECS packs from the crossbleed duct through individual flow control and
shutoff valves (refer to section 12210000 AIR CONDITIONING). The Ice protection
system is supplied by ducts tapped off immediately downstream of the engine HP bleed ports.
The engine starting system is supplied by ducts tapped off from the bleed air outlet ducts
downstream of the engine main duct nonreturn valves.
During normal operation the bleed air supply from both engines is used. However the bleed air
supply from a single engine is still sufficient to supply both ECS packs and the Ice protection
system. The APU is capable of supplying both ECS packs up to an altitude of 30.000 ft and can
be used for engine starts up to an altitude of 20.000 ft.
Protection circuits independently shut off the bleed air supply from each engine in the event of a
bleed air supply over temperature or over pressure condition. The pneumatic system also
provides indication of a bleed air leak overheat condition.
Bleed air system operation is monitored. The relevant information is presented to the flight crew
on the EICAS display, on the ECS page, and on the ECS control panel as well as on the APU
page (refer to Subsection 12360100).

BLEED AIR FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS)
Bleed air for the ECS can be supplied from a single engine, both engines and / or the APU.
Normally the APU feeds the RH ECS PACK, but when the crossbleed valve is open both packs
can be supplied from the APU. The APU can provide bleed air for the two ECS systems up to
an altitude of 30.000 ft. The LH and RH engine systems are identical. The following description
applies to the LH side.
Depending on the engine power setting, bleed air is tapped from either the high stage (HP) or
low stage (LP) port. The changeover from the HP to the LP port and back again is automatic
and depends on HP bleed air temperature and LP bleed air pressure. The ducts from the LP
and HP ports merge into a single main duct.
The duct from the HP port and the main duct are each equipped with a pressure reducing and
shutoff valve. the shutoff valves regulate the bleed air presuure downstream of the valves to
between 29 and 35 psi. they are controlled manually by a BLEED button on the ECS control
panel and automatically by overtemperature and overpressure protection circuits.
With the LH engine running and the LH BLEED button pressed in, bleed air is available at the
flow control and shutoff valve of the LH ECS pack (refer to Section 12210000 AIR
CONDITIONING).
The main duct from the LH engine is connected to the main duct of the RH engine by a
crossbleed duct equipped with a crossbleed valve. Under normal condition the crossbleed valve
is closed, the main bleed air ducts from the LH and RH engines are isolated from each other
and each engine supplies its associated ECS pack. The crossbleed valve can be opened via
the XBLEED switch on the ECS control panel to allow both ECS packs to be supplied from a
single bleed air source under the following circumstances:
During single engine or APU operation on the ground
During single engine operation in flight following an engine failure
During APU operation of the two ECS systems.
or
Following failure of one engine bleed air supply.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE XBLEED IF BOTH ENGINES ARE RUNNING WITH BOTH
BLEED AIR SOURCES ACTIVATED.
DO NOT ACTIVATE APU BLEEDAIR IF RH ENGINE BLEDDAIR IS ACTIVATED.
DO NOT ACTIVATE APU BLEEDAIR IF LH ENGINE BLEEDAIR IS ACTIVATED
AND XBLEED OPEN.

SYSTEM PROTECTION
Two overtemperature switches and one overpressure switch are installed in the pneumatic
system bleed air ducts from each engine. In the event of excessive bleed air temperatures or
pressures these switches shut off the bleed supply from the affected engine. An additional
overtemperature sensor controls the HP pressure reducing and shut off valve. The ice
protection system is unaffected if the bleed air supplies from the engines are shut off.
Sensing elements are installed in the vicinity of the engine and the APU bleed air ducts which
are installed outside the designated fire zones to provide indication to the flight crew of an
overheat condition due to a bleed air leak.
In the event of an engine fire the pressure reducing and shutoff valves in the engine nacelle
will close automatically when the engine fire extinguishing system is armed.
BLEED AIR FOR ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM
The ice protection system is operated by bleed air tapped from the HP bleed ducts on each
engine. Bleed air for the Ice protection system is available whenever one engine is running and
unaffected if the engine bleed supply to the pneumatic system is shut off.
BLEED AIR FOR MAIN ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM
The primary bleed source for the pneumatic engine starting system is either the APU or HP
ground connector. The APU can be used for engine starts up to an altitude of 20.000 ft.
A crossbleed pneumatic supply from the other operating engine can also be used via the
crossbleed valve with the operating engine bleed system selected ON. Operation of the
crossbleed valve is automatically controlled by the respective engine FADEC during a
crossbleed engine start.
Bleed air for the engine starting system is tapped off the main duct downstream of the engine
main duct nonreturn valve.
The ATS control valve will shutoff the flow of bleed air to the ATS after the engine has started
and reached a sustainable speed. The control valve and the subsequent supply of bleed air to
the ATS is electronically controlled by the switching logic contained in the respective engine
FADEC.
APU BLEED AIR AND HP GROUND CONNECTION
The APU is controlled from the APU panel and the supply of APU bleed air is controlled from
the ECS panel. The APU supplies sufficient bleed air to operate both ECS packs or for engine
start.
The HP ground connection enables the connection of an external HP bleed air source from
ground service equipment. It provides an alternative bleed air source for engine start if APU
bleed air is not available.
