38.10 POTABLE WATER System Operation

POTABLE WATER/FILLING.
Ventilation is ensured by a vent valve.
The mechanism of this valve prevents water from overflowing.
Water is distributed by gravity from the tank to the wash basin. The faucet is of the push-to-operate type. It closes and remains closed
automatically when not pressed.

MW38.30_.01.S1L1 Copyright © 2011-2012 - ATR Training Centre - All right reserved For Training Only Page 26
38.30 WASTE DISPOSAL System Operation

During filling and flushing operations, clean water from the service vehicle flows under pressure through :
- The check valve,
- The anti-syphon valve,
- And to the atomizer, via a connecting pipe.
The pressurized water is used to spray and clean the filter basket of the filter motor pump assembly and the interior of the waste tank.

MW38.30_.02.S2L2 Copyright © 2011-2012 - ATR Training Centre - All right reserved For Training Only Page 27
38.30 WASTE DISPOSAL System Operation

In normal flushing operation, waste water mixed with clean water is filtered and used for toilet flushing.
The waste disposal and toilet flushing system is the filter motor pump assembly.
This includes:
- an electrical circuit, supplied with 28V DC SVCE BUS.
- a hose which ducts the filtered liquid from the pump to the upper part of the waste tank.
The evacuation system comprises:
- a toilet waste drain which connects the lower part of the tank of the coupling on the service panel.
- a drain valve located inside the toilet tank, controlled by means of a cable from the service panel;

MW38.30_.02.S2L2 Copyright © 2011-2012 - ATR Training Centre - All right reserved For Training Only Page 28
38.30 WASTE DISPOSAL System Operation

There are two types of draining:

- the waste water flows through a drain line when the wash basin plug is opened. This plug remains closed as long as the control is not
operated;
- the anti-corrosion tank (located under the toilet tank) is drained automatically via leakage drain valve.
