    Abstract: A water supply system includes a first pipe, a water reservoir, and a Venturi pipe having a first Venturi nozzle terminal, a second Venturi nozzle terminal and a Venturi nozzle branch arranged between the first and second Venturi nozzle terminal. The first Venturi nozzle terminal is connected via the first pipe to the water reservoir. The first Venturi nozzle terminal is connectable to a second pipe to fill the water reservoir. The branch of the Venturi pipe is connectable to a third pipe to supply taps. Water flows through the Venturi pipe from the first Venturi nozzle terminal to the second Venturi nozzle terminal when the water reservoir is filled, and water flows through the Venturi pipe from the second Venturi nozzle terminal to the Venturi nozzle branch during the supply procedure, to provide a water supply system which requires less maintenance and is less temperamental.

    Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft for supplying water includes a central water tank, first consumer assemblies with buffer tanks each including a heater to heat up water in the buffer tank to a disinfection temperature, pump having upstream and downstream sides to operate in supply and reverse modes, and high-pressure conduit system. The central water tank connects to the pump's upstream side. The conduit system connects the downstream side with a first consumer assembly. The method includes operating the pump in supply mode where water from the central tank goes to a first consumer assembly to fill a buffer tank, operating a buffer tank heater so water heats to a predetermined disinfection temperature, and operating the pump in reverse mode so heated water passes through a part of the conduit system and the upstream side of the pump.

    Abstract: An aircraft with a drinking water supply and distribution system including a water storage tank, a consumer equipment, a pressurizer, a pressure reducer and a conduit system connecting the drinking water storage tank to the consumer equipment via the pressurizer and supplying water from the at least one water storage tank to the at least one consumer equipment. The pressurizer pressurizes water in the conduit system with a peak pressure exceeding a supply water pressure threshold. The conduit system includes flexible conduits having a maximum internal diameter of less than 8 mm. The pressure reducer is provided for reducing the pressure of water supplied to the consumer equipment below a consumer water pressure threshold. The supply water pressure threshold exceeds the consumer water pressure threshold.

    Abstract: A draining device for draining a fluid line is provided. The draining device comprises a mechanically non-locking coupling and a holding device. The mechanically non-locking coupling is configured to establish a fluid conductive connection with the fluid line. The holding device is configured to stationary fix the mechanically non-locking coupling relatively to the fluid line. The draining device allows establishing a fluid conductive connection between the fluid line and the mechanically non-locking coupling without requiring a mechanical fixation directly at the mechanically non-locking coupling.

    Abstract: A water supply system for an aircraft having consumers with buffer stores connected to a water tank by lines and a pressure source. Each consumer has a filling valve between the buffer store and the pressure source. The buffer store can be filled by opening the filling valve. In each consumer, water can be removed from the buffer store by opening a consumer valve. Each consumer transmits at least one state parameter describing a state of the buffer store of the respective consumer to a control system. The control system controls opening and closing of the filling valves of the consumers taking into account the transmitted state parameters such that removal of water from the water tank by the pressure source does not exceed a threshold value at any point in time. An aircraft having a water supply system and method for controlling a water supply system are disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for operating an on-board water supply and distribution system of an aircraft includes a central water tank, central pump, consumer assemblies each including a supply device to supply water, and a high-pressure conduit system. The high-pressure conduit system connects the downstream side and consumer assemblies and is configured where the central pump can deliver water from the downstream side to the consumer assemblies. The method includes operating the central pump where water in the high-pressure conduit system is pressurized to a predetermined first pressure, operating the consumer assemblies where in each of the consumer assemblies the connection between the buffer tank of the consumer assembly and the high-pressure conduit system is in a closed position, monitoring pressure for a predetermined first period of time, and providing a first failure signal when pressure drops below a predetermined second pressure within the first period of time.
