    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a water supply system (100) for a plurality of water consumer units (11, 12) in an aircraft (1). The system comprises a main tank (110) configured to store a main supply of water, a main water pipe (120) connected to an outlet of the main tank, and a plurality of water networks (150, 152), each configured to conduct water from the main tank (110) to at least one of the plurality of water consumer units. The plurality of water consumer units is partitioned in a first group (11) of water consumer units (11a, 11b, 11c) and at least a second group (12) of water consumer units (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d). Each of the plurality of water networks (150, 152) comprises a conveying device (130, 132) configured to convey water to each water consumer unit (11a, 11b, 11c, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) of one of the groups. The water supply system further comprises a cross feed valve configured to fluidically connect or separate the plurality of water networks downstream of the conveying devices in the plurality of water networks.

    摘要: A system to distribute air across a lavatory floor is disclosed herein. The system includes a dryer unit and at least one sensor (118a-f) in an aircraft lavatory coupled to a locking mechanism (315) of the aircraft lavatory responsive to an action comprising an actuation of a slide switch to open the locking mechanism of a door of the aircraft lavatory wherein the dryer unit is electronically coupled to the at least one sensor. In response to a detection by at least one sensor of the actuation of the slide switch to open the locking mechanism of the door (305) of the aircraft lavatory, the dryer unit is configured to receive a command from a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor to cause the dryer unit to be activated.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an aircraft water supply system. The water supply system comprises a water tank (10) for storing potable water; and two or more faucets (26) that are each connected to the water tank and configured to dispense the potable water on demand in response to a user actuating the faucet. Each of the two or more faucets includes a respective filtering unit (22). In embodiments the filtering units are integrated within the faucets and comprise three stages of filtering, namely (i) a coarse filtering stage (30); (ii) a first filtering stage (32) comprising a hollow fiber filter and/or one or more ion exchange resin filters; and (iii) a second filtering stage (34) comprising activated carbon.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for controlling a compression action of a trash receptacle (11) of an aircraft lavatory (10). Generally, the systems, methods, and articles of manufacture disclosed and described herein facilitate controlled opening and closing actuations of a flap (14) of a trash receptacle (11) of an aircraft lavatory (10), and a compression action after detection of at least the closing actuation of trash deposits in the trash receptacle to increase the interior volume of the trash receptacle. By controlling the closing actuations of the flap and compression actions of trash deposits, hygiene and sanitation of the lavatory are improved, odors are prevented from dispersing throughout the lavatory and/or cabin of the aircraft, and fire hazards are reduced.
