Hot air from Pre Cooler 1

Cabin Air

Cold air from PACK 1

Cabin air enters the forward cargo zone to pressurize the cargo area. The Cabin air can be mixed with cold air from PACK 1 to reduce the temperature. The Cabin air may also be mixed with hot bleed air to increase the temperature. The right overhead cargo ventilation panel allows the flight crew to set the cargo temperature for the zone. A Cargo Ventilation Controller controls the various valves to archive the required temperature

Aft Cargo
