NITROGEN GENERATION SYSTEM - ADJUSTMENT/TEST
1. General
A. This procedure has these tasks:
(1) Functional Test of the Nitrogen Generation System.
(2) Cross Vent Check Valve - Operational Test
B. The purpose of the NGS functional test is to do a check of the performance of the air separation
module (ASM). ASM performance is measured by the purity of the nitrogen-enriched air (NEA)
delivered to the center wing tank.
C. To test the purity of the NEA, it is necessary to check the NGS operational temperature, pressure
and the oxygen percentage in the NEA stream. The NGS temperature and pressure measurements
are calculated by the NGS controller and shown on the BITE display unit (BDU). To test the oxygen
percentage, an oxygen analyzer is connected to the GSE test port on the NEADS line. The percent
oxygen (displayed on the oxygen analyzer) and NGS inlet pressure (displayed on the BDU) are
plotted on a go-no-go graph. Low flow NEA purity and high flow NEA purity graphs for the ASM are
supplied with this procedure.

2. Functional Test of the Nitrogen Generation System
(Figure 501Figure 502)
A. General
(1) There are two options to measure the oxygen concentration in the NEADS line. The primary
option is to use the NGS BITE Display Unit (BDU). An alternative to the BDU is to use an
oxygen analyzer, COM-7456. The oxygen analyzer, COM-7456, can be used to do a check of
the NGS oxygen sensor or if you suspect the NGS oxgyen sensor may be bad.
(2) This task has these functional tests:
(a) Functional Test for the Nitrogen Generation System - NGS PERF LO FLOW.
(b) Functional Test for the Nitrogen Generation System - NGS PERF HI FLOW.
