Environmental Systems
Environmental Systems
This environmental section includes the following systems:
• bleed air supply (pneumatic system)
• air conditioning system
• heating system
• pressurization system
• ventilation system.
Bleed Air Supply
The pressurization air in-flow system consists of a bleed air
flow control unit (FCU) for each engine that is controlled by two
three-position switches placarded BLEED AIR VALVES/LEFT/
RIGHT in the ENVIRONMENTAL controls group on the copi-
lot's left subpanel. The three switch positions are placarded
OPEN/ENVIR OFF/PNEU & ENVIR OFF. When a switch is in
either the ENVIR OFF or the PNEU & ENVIR OFF position, the
respective right or left FCU is closed. When a switch is in the
OPEN position, the air mixture will flow through the FCU toward
the cabin.
Environmental bleed air flow volume is controlled by the switch
placarded ENVIR BLEED AIR/NORMAL/LOW in the ENVI-
RONMENTAL controls group on the copilot's left subpanel.
This switch should be placed in the LOW position during opera-
tion in ambient temperatures above 10ºC for increased cabin
cooling. The NORMAL position should be used for increased
heating or if increased pressurization air flow is required.

Air Conditioning System
The air conditioning system utilizes refrigerant to provide cool-
ing for the airplane cabin. Airplane serials FL-1 to FL-126 and
FM-1 to FM-8 use refrigerant R-12. For airplane serials FL-127
and after, FM-9 and after, and aircraft with Beechcraft Kit 130-
5009, use refrigerant R-134a. A compressor plus one con-
denser with a 36,000-BTU capacity, and two 12,500-BTU evap-
orators are utilized to cycle the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid
state to provide cooling of the passenger compartment and
flight compartment. Adjustable outlets, located in the headliner
in the passenger compartment and in the flight compartment
overhead panel, distribute cool air produced by the air condi-
tioning system.
The temperature control switches used to control the heating
systems are also used to control the air conditioning system.
The cabin temperature mode switch, the cabin temperature
selector, and the manual temperature control switch are
located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. Refer to the King Air
350 Maintenance Manual chapter 21-60-00 for further informa-
tion on the operation of the temperature controls.
The compressor, driven by the right engine, will operate as
required in the MANUAL COOL or AUTO temp control mode,
provided operation is not prohibited by the system protection
controls. System protection controls will prevent compressor
operation if refrigerant pressure is too high or too low, if the
ambient temperature is below approximately 10°C, or if right
engine speed is below 62% N1. If operation is prevented due to
low N1 speed, the white AIR COND N1 LOW annunciator will
illuminate.
The forward vent blower recirculates cabin air through the for-
ward evaporator and into the cabin distribution ducts. An aft
evaporator is installed in the aft blower plenum. Cooling is
available from this evaporator when the air conditioning system
and the aft blower are operating.

Environmental Systems
Heating
Engine bleed air, through the environmental flow control valves,
is utilized to warm the cabin.
Air outlets are provided for each pilot under the instrument
panel. These outlets are regulated by the PILOT AIR knob and
the COPILOT AIR knob located on the respective pilot's sub-
panel just below and outboard of the control columns. The air
supply for windshield defrost and glareshield eyeball air outlets
is controlled by the DEFROST AIR/PULL ON knob located on
the pilot's right subpanel just below and inboard of the control
column. Air flow division between cockpit floor outlets and
cabin floor outlets is regulated by the control knob located on
the copilot's left subpanel just below and inboard of the control
column placarded CABIN/COCKPIT AIR/PULL/INCR COCK-
PIT/DECR CABIN. If the temperature in the duct supplying the
floor level outlets becomes excessive, the yellow DUCT OVER-
TEMP caution annunciator will illuminate.
Cockpit and cabin side windows are defogged by supplying
regulated bleed air through a manifold assembly and discharge
nozzles located between window panes. The system is acti-
vated by the switch labeled WINDOW DEFOG.
Supplemental Electric Heating
A supplemental electric heating system is available for cabin
comfort. It is operated by a switch in the ENVIRONMENTAL
group on the copilot's left subpanel placarded ELEC HEAT/
OFF. This system can be used in conjunction with a high
capacity auxiliary power unit for warming the cabin prior to
starting the engines, and it can be used as supplemental heat
for ground operation only. It should be used in conjunction with
the manual heat or auto temp control mode only.

CAE SimuFlite
This system uses one forward heating element located in a for-
ward duct and one aft heating element located in the aft evapo-
rator plenum. Both the forward and the aft blower must be
operating during electric heat operation. An ELEC HEAT ON
advisory annunciator is provided to indicate that the power
relays are in the closed position to apply electrical power to the
heating elements. When the electric heat system is selected to
OFF, the ELEC HEAT ON annunciator must be extinguished to
indicate that power is removed from the heating elements
before the blowers are switched OFF.
NOTE: The electric heat system will draw approximately
300 amps.
Supplemental Radiant Heating (B300C)
On the B300C, a radiant heater element is installed in the
cargo door. It is controlled by the Cabin Temperature Mode
switch and it operates in all heating modes. This unit provides
supplemental heat to the cabin for additional passenger
comfort.
Supplemental Aft Cabin Heat
Supplemental aft cabin bleed air heat is controlled by a switch
in the ENVIRONMENTAL group placarded AFT HEAT/OFF.
This system provides additional bleed air heat in the aft cabin
area. Unless passengers are seated aft of the aft partition, use
of the system is not recommended in flight.

Environmental Systems
Ventilation
Fresh air ventilation is provided from two sources. One source,
which is available during both the pressurized and the unpres-
surized mode, is the pressurization in-flow system. The second
source of fresh air, which is available during the unpressurized
mode only, is ambient air obtained (through a check valve) from
the condenser section in the nose of the airplane.
Pressurization
The pressurization system controls cabin altitude, climb rate
and descent rate by operating outflow valves that vent condi-
tioned air to the atmosphere.
The cabin pressurization system is designed to provide a nor-
mal working pressure differential of 6.5 ±0.1 PSI, which will pro-
vide cabin pressure altitudes of approximately 2,800 ft at an
airplane altitude of 20,000 ft; and 10,380 ft at 35,000 ft. If the
system malfunctions and cabin pressure differential exceeds
the system’s maximum value, a safety valve dumps excess
pressure to the atmosphere.
