An extremely rare opportunity to purchase a component off a former Qantas Classic B747 VH-EBR

Zone Compartment/Duct Temperature Indicator

As removed off Air Pacific DQ-FJE

The standard B747-200 cabin configuration was divided into five zones

Upper deck/cockpit and four main deck zones

Five zone temperature indicators were located on the Flight Engineer’s P4 panel

The FE was tasked with operating and monitoring aircraft environmental control via modules for three pack air cycle machines, zone temperature control and cabin pressurisation

This indicator came from Zone 4 - the aft most zone between main entry doors 4 and 5

Indications of duct and eventual zone temperature reflected the efficiency of the ACM's and their ability to achieve and maintain selected conditions

The indicator measures 120mm in length, has diameter of 50mm and weighs 412g

Most importantly, the indicator comes complete with an Evergreen removal label (see A/C history)

This is an incredible and decisive document of provenance matches the component S/N with the A/C

Removal date was 15^th July 2003
