AIR COND warning, but why?

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

since some days the AIR COND warning light is on, but I am not aware of any other fault.

Neither a warning is on (DUAL BLEED etc.), nor is any door open. Packs are on Auto, everythings seems to be fine.

 

Also the failure pages not show any active failure. What's going on?

 

Maybe the initial incident was that the passenger masks were deployed. After landing the 'repaired' the failure.

Are the masks 'still' out? ... dangling in front of the passengers' noses? How can I restore them, if this is cause?

 

Thanx,

19AB67

The most obvious and simplest answer is probably correct. You weren't pressurized. If the packs were on, how about the bleeds?

A screenshot of overhead would help.

Packs on, engine bleeds on, APU bleed off, and have the system set to auto. What might've happened is that your packs may have briefly overheated (mine did at MIA yesterday which triggered a trip light for a few seconds) and then I hit the reset button to clear the zone temp light. Did you fly in a very hot and humid area?

Yep, packs, engine bleeds on, APU bleed off, system set to auto. Trip light checked. (And: No active failures... see CDU)

(My KLM 737-700 at EHAM on ground apron D93, engine running, idle, APU off. )

 

No, I flew EGPF05-KLM1470-EHAM06i today... not a really humid area.

 

Any ideas?

Hi rsvit, Good evening to Kiev,

I pushed the trip reset button already, and a cooler temperatur is set... to no avail. :Phbbbt:

Could you deploy the passenger masks and see whether you can reproduce the behaviour?

Thanx,

The pax masks should not have anything to do with air conditioning or even pressurization (other than cabin altitude), they are powered by their own chemical oxygen generators and the crew masks come from the bottle.

 

My experience only comes from flying the AA 738 though and there are minor differences between that and the 6/700.

Hello.

If oxygen masks deployed, you will got "overhead" light on glareshield panel and light on aft overhead.

In FCOM 15.20.4 shown all cases when this light go on.

I have got this message just once, when i used air conditioning cart or external air cart with APU together and did something incorrectly, get control cabin duct overheat (it luminated Zone temp light, which is not installed on 737-700). I opened QRH and pressed trip reset and that helped.

Do the specialist of PMDG read this forum, too?

Soon I expect the advice 'Re-install'.

But the simulations depth gives me hope that this is not necessary...

I may be wrong here, but I think that light comes on in Descent if you did not climb to the altitude you have set in the pressurisation panel, and then start a descent. Are you saying that the Air Cond. light is on when you are starting the flight?

Yes, I am sitting on D93 in EHAM -10 ft altitude, and AIR COND is on right from the beginning, or better it does not go off preparing the aircraft for departure: Doors closed, engines running on idle, APU off, packs auto (on), trip reset, isolation valve auto...

Have you reset the flight to cold/dark or are you using a save flight?

 

Sometimes saved flights get corrupted like this.

Hi Noah,

ok, this solves the issue. AIR COND warning off now

after reloading Cold&Dark NGX.

I was using saved flights panel states.

I wasn't sure whether I missed something in handling the aircraft.

Thanx a lot.
