1 Press the ANTI-ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to operate the engine anti-ice system.
2 After five minutes, set the ANTI-ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to OFF.
3 Press the ENG 1(2) BLEED pushbutton switch to operate the engine bleed system.
4 Make sure that the OFF legend of the ENG1 (2) BLEED pushbutton switch goes off when the engine bleed system operates.
5 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch to operate the WAI system.
8 Once the WAI valve is closed, let the engine run at idle for five minutes.
10 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch two times to operate the WAI system once more.
12 Make sure that the PRV is open and the HPV is closed on the ECAM BLEED page with the engine running at this speed while the WAI valve is open.
(b) Once the WAI valve is closed, pull the throttle to stabilize the engine thrust at idle for five minutes and after, do the following:
1 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch and make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch goes OFF.
2 Turn the crossbleed valve selector switch to the AUTO position.
3 Press the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch to operate the air conditioning pack.
4 Make sure that the OFF legend of the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch goes off.
5 Check for evidence of anti-freeze mixture odor/smoke in the cabin.
Subtask 72-00-00-620-070-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL NOTE: The aim of this post-engine wash test is:
(1) On AIR COND panel 30VU, make sure that: - To purge water from the oil system in order to prevent potential bearing/sump corrosion/deterioration
- To prevent fumes in the cockpit and in the cabin when the airplane is put back into service.
- The crossbleed valve selector switch is in the OPEN position.
NOTE: The APU bleed valve must be closed (the ON legend of the APU bleed pushbutton switch off) after the engine start, to avoid the supply of air to the Wing Anti-Ice systems from the APU.
NOTE: This engine run is done to ensure that the bleed system is free from contaminants. Smoke/smell in the cabin and Starter Air Valve (SAV) contamination can result if contaminants go into the bleed system.
(a) Let the engine run at idle for five minutes and after, do the following: 1 Press the ANTI-ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to operate the engine anti-ice system.
2 After five minutes, set the ANTI-ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to OFF.
3 Press the ENG 1(2) BLEED pushbutton switch to operate the engine bleed system.
4 Make sure that the OFF legend of the ENG1 (2) BLEED pushbutton switch goes off when the engine bleed system operates.
5 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch to operate the WAI system.
NOTE: The aim is to purge water potentially trapped in the High Pressure (HP) bleed ducts and the HP engine bleed chambers.
6 Make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch comes on when the WAI system operates. NOTE: The WAI valves will automatically close 30 seconds after the WAI system is selected ON. This is to prevent the wing slats overheat. However, the ON legend remains illuminated until the switch is deselected.
7 Make sure that the Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) and the High Pressure Valve (HPV) are open on the ECAM BLEED page with the engine running at this speed while the WAI valve is open. 8 Once the WAI valve is closed, let the engine run at idle for five minutes.
NOTE: Do not actuate WAI systems before the 5-minute period at idle is over in order to avoid the WAI system overheat.
9 Increase and stabilize the engine thrust to at least 60 percent Fan (N1) for ten minutes. 10 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch two times to operate the WAI system once more.
NOTE: The aim is to purge water potentially trapped in the IP bleed ducts and the IP engine bleed chambers.
NOTE: If the Wing Anti-Ice ON legend is still on, pressing twice the WAI pushbutton switch enables a second WAI cycle of 30 seconds to be started.
NOTE: Do not perform more than two attempts with a minimum of five minutes between the two attempts, in order to avoid the WAI system overheat.
11 Make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch comes on when the WAI system operates. 12 Make sure that the PRV is open and the HPV is closed on the ECAM BLEED page with the engine running at this speed while the WAI valve is open.
(b) Once the WAI valve is closed, pull the throttle to stabilize the engine thrust at idle for five minutes and after, do the following:
1 Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch and make sure that the ON legend of the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch goes OFF.
2 Turn the crossbleed valve selector switch to the AUTO position.
3 Press the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch to operate the air conditioning pack.
4 Make sure that the OFF legend of the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch goes off.
5 Check for evidence of anti-freeze mixture odor/smoke in the cabin.
- If evidence is found, continue to operate the engine at idle until no odor/smoke remains in the cabin.
- After ten minutes of engine running, if continuous odor/smoke remains in the cabin, shut down the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-028) and decontaminate the Environmental Control System (ECS) (Ref. AMM TASK 21-00-00-615-803).
Note that the APU Bleed valve must be open before the engine shutdown. - If no evidence is found, shut the engine down (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-028).
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THIS ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE IF THE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN +5 DEG. C.
I. Alternative procedure. Post Engine Wash Test NOTE: The aim of this post engine wash test is:
(1) On the AIR COND panel 30VU, make sure that: - To purge water from oil system in order to prevent potential bearing/sump corrosion/deterioration
- To prevent fumes in the cockpit and in the cabin when the airplane is put back into service.
- PACK 1 and PACK 2 are OFF prior to the start of the procedure that follows.
- The crossbleed valve selector switch is in the OPEN position.
- ENG 1 BLEED and ENG 2 BLEED are OFF.
- CAB FANS pushbutton switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: This engine run is done to ensure that the bleed system is free from contaminant. Smoke/Smell in the cabin and Starter Air Valve (SAV) contamination can result if contaminant enters the bleed system.
(4) After engine start, push the APU BLEED pushbutton switch to the OFF position. The APU bleed valve must be closed, to avoid the supply of air to the wing anti-ice systems from the APU. (5) Let the engine run at idle for 5 minutes.
(6) Press the ANTI ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to operate the engine anti-ice system.
(7) After 5 minutes put the ANTI ICE/ENG pushbutton switch to OFF.
(8) Do the following:
(a) Press the ENG 1(2) BLEED pushbutton switch to ON. Make sure that the OFF legend goes off when the engine bleed system operates.
(b) Press the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch to ON. Make sure that the ON legend goes on when the wing anti ice system operates.
NOTE: The aim is to purge water potentially trapped in High Pressure (HP) bleed ducts and HP engine bleed chambers.
NOTE: The Wing Anti-Ice (WAI) valves will automatically close 30 seconds after that the Wing Anti-Ice system is selected ON. This is to prevent wing slats overheat. However, the ON legend remains illuminated until the switch is deselected.
(c) Make sure that Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) and High Pressure Valve (HPV) are open on ECAM BLEED page with engine running at this speed while WAI valves are open. (9) Once WAI valves are closed, let the engine run at idle for 5 minutes.
NOTE: Do not actuate WAI system before the 5-minute period at idle is over in order to avoid WAI system overheat.
(10) Press twice the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch to operate the WAI system once more. NOTE: If the Wing Anti-Ice ON legend is still on, pressing twice the WAI pushbutton switch enables a second WAI cycle of 30 seconds to be started.
NOTE: Do not perform more than two attempts with a minimum of 5 minutes between the two attempts, in order to avoid WAI systems overheat.
(a) Make sure that the ON legend goes on when the wing anti ice system operates. (b) Make sure that Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) and High Pressure Valve (HPV) are open on ECAM BLEED page with engine running at this speed while WAI valves are open.
(11) Once the WAI valves are closed, stabilize the engine thrust at idle for 5 minutes.
(12) Press once the ANTI ICE/WING pushbutton switch and make sure that the ON legend goes off.
NOTE: Do not press the WAI pushbutton switch twice. If the WAI pushbutton switch ON legend is still on, pressing twice the WAI pushbutton switch enables a second WAI cycle of 30 seconds to be started.
(13) Push the APU BLEED pushbutton switch to the ON position. (14) Turn the crossbleed valve selector switch to the AUTO position.
(15) Press the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch to operate the air conditioning pack.
(16) Make sure that the OFF legend of the PACK 1 (2) pushbutton switch goes off.
(17) Press the CAB FANS pushbutton switch.
(18) Make sure that the OFF legend of the CAB FANS pushbutton switch goes off.
