    If the source pressure drops below the bleed air pressure regulator setting

    • The flow control valve closes

    • The pressure regulator closes

    • All available air pressure is supplied to the flow control valve

    • The air-conditioning system goes into a low-flow mode of operation

    Correct Answer
    A. All available air pressure is supplied to the flow control valve
    Explanation
    When the source pressure drops below the bleed air pressure regulator setting, the pressure regulator closes. This means that it stops regulating the pressure and allows all available air pressure to be supplied to the flow control valve. As a result, the flow control valve receives maximum air pressure, allowing it to control and regulate the flow of air effectively. This ensures that the air-conditioning system can operate in a low-flow mode, where the flow of air is adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the system.

    Due to a loss of energy, the pressure is

    • At h3 is slightly reduced

    • At h3 slightly raised

    • The same as the throat

    • Lower than the throat

    Correct Answer
