WATER & WASTE

General
The water and waste system consists of a pneumatically pressurized potable
water system, a drain water system, a waste disposal system and a vacuum
toilet system.
Potable Water System

The potable water system supplies the galleys and lavatories with water from a
tank via a distribution system.
It is pressurized by bleed air system ( air from ENG1; ENG2, APU ).
A ground connector for external supply is also available.
Drain Water System
The drain water system gives the possibility to drain the water from the potable
water system, by means of drain valves and drain ports.
Waste Water System
The waste water system includes drainage of waste water from lavatory wash
basin and galley sinks, to be discharged overboard via heated drain lines and
heated drain masts.
Toilet System
The toilet system collects waste in a underfloor waste holding tank. The tank is
emptied and cleaned during aircraft ground service.
The toilet system uses water from the potable water system for the toilet flush.
Waste is removed from the toilet bowl by a vacuum draining system.
An electronic Vacuum System Controller ( VSC ) controls and monitors the
vacuum system.

38-10 POTABLE WATER SYSTEM

A320 WATER SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Storage
The potable water is stored in one tank installed in the pressurized underfloor
aerea of the right hand fuselage, aft of the forward cargo compartment .
Potable water tank capacity : 200 liters (53 US gal).
Pressurization
Pressurization of the system enables water supply from the tank to the nesse-
sary service location.
Compressed air is trapped from the cross feed line of the engine bleed air.
When the aircraft is on ground, a compressor or ground air cart can pressurize
the potable water distribution system.
Distibution
Potable water from the water tank is supplied through a system of ditribution
lines. The lavatory and galley distribution lines run below the passenger com-
partment floor. They are shrouded and insulated, and some of them are hea-
ted.
User Supply
Each lavatory can be isolated from the potable water distribution system
through a manual shut-off valve.
Heating
A water heater is installed under the wash basin inside the sanitary unit cabi-
net. A thermostat allows the water temperature to be maintained between
45 °C ( 113 °F ) and 48 °C ( 118 °F ).
An overtemperature safety device protects the heating element.

Filling
When the fill / drain control handle is turned from ”NORMAL” to ”FILL” position
and pulled out to its stop, it mechanically opens the fill / drain valve.
The fill limit switch sends an open signal to the overflow valve.
The overflow valve control light ( green ) comes on when the valve is open.
The quantity transmitter sends the quantity signal to the preselector control
unit.
The preselector control unit provides a tank full signal when the preselected
quantity is reached.
This signal causes the fill / drain valve to close electrically.
The control handle is automatically pulled in and returns to the ”NORMAL” po-
sition. When the fill / drain valve is closed, the tank full control light ( green )
comes on.
The fill / drain control handle ”NORMAL” position causes the electrical closure
of the overflow valve.
Fill System ( without Electrical Power )
You can also fill the water tank when there is no electrical power.
To do so you must open the fill /drain valve and the overflow valve manually.
To open the fill /drain valve you turn the control handle on the potable water
service panel from ’NORMAL’ to ’FILL’.
Then pull the control handle out to its stop.
To open the overflow/ventilation valve you turn the control handle at the over-
flow and drain panel from ’SHUT’ to ’OPEN’.
There are no indications that the valves are open.
When the tank is full, you must close the valves manually again.

− a connection for air pressurization system with an air−no−water valve.
Fill/Overflow Drain Valve 8MA

The fill/overflow drain valve is installed between the water service panel
and the potable water tank. Tube assemblies connect the valve to the tank
and to the ports on the potable water service panel. The ’fill’ function of
the valve also operates as a system ’drain’ facility. You can manually select the
fill and drain facilities on the service panel. The overflow function operates as
an overflow outlet and a vent for the tank. The operation of the fill/overflow
drain handle opens the overflow port when it is selected to the ’FILL’ or
’DRAIN’ position and the handle pulled out.

General
Air pressure is used to pressurize the potable water system.
The air is supplied from:
- the engine bleed air or
- the Auxiliary Power Unit ( APU ) or
- the ground pressure connection.
An additional air supply source to pressurize the potable water system is the
air supply boost−system (Ref. AMM 38−42−00).

COMPRESSED AIR LINE DESCRIPTION
General
In the compressed air line there is:
A shuttle valve that directs the pressurized air. The system is
supplied from the bleed air crossfeed−line or from the ground pressure
connection.
A check valve that lets compressed air flow only in the direction of
the water tank ( If a decrease in pressure of the supply source occurs ).
A pressure reducing and relief valve that reduces the compressed air
pressure to the system working pressure ( If the pressure is too high,
the valve releases it ).
A ground pressure connection to pressurize the water system when the
engines or the APU do not operate.
Operation and Description

The compressed air (irrespective of the source which supplies it) flows
from the shuttle valve to the potable water tank. It flows through the air
filter, the check valve and the pressure reducing/relief valve to the potable wa-
ter tank. The air filter removes all unwanted materials which are in the com-
pressed air. The check valve is installed between the pressure reducing/relief
valve and the air filter. It lets the compressed air flow in the direction of the
water tank only.
The pressure reducing/relief valve reduces the air pressure from between
2.83 bar (41.0456 psi) and 3.24 bar (46.9922 psi) to the system working
pressure 1.52 bar (22.0457 psi) to 1.73 bar (25.0915 psi).The pressure relief
section of the valve will operate and release the air out of the system if the
pressure increases to a pressure of 2.21 bar (32.0533 psi) to 2.48 bar
(35.9693 psi).

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION The Check Valve 4206MM.

The check valve makes sure that the compressed air flows only in the

The air compressor 8MD is a double−bellows reciprocating pump that is
electrically driven. It has:
− an electric motor,
− a housing,
− a crankshaft,
− bearings,
− inlet and outlet valves,
− two drive rods,
− two bellows (which function as a double−piston air compressor unit).
The electric motor is fan cooled and has its own housing. This is bolted to, and
hermetically sealed from, the housing of the compressor. The motor operates
at 3600 rpm when it is supplied with 115 V AC 400 Hz from the 3−phases of
the AC BUS 2. A thermal−overload protection circuit stops the motor if it over-
heats. This same protection circuit starts the motor again when it has cooled
down.
The bellows are made of stainless steel. They are contoured diaphragms, wel-
ded on alternate inside and outside diameters, in a series of convolutions. This
design gives maximum stroke with minimum stress. At maximum stroke the
bellows fully−nest (in the compressed position) to give high compression ratios.
The bellows are hermetically sealed to isolate the air−stream from the drive
section of the motor and all outside contaminants. The drive rods connect the
bellows to the crankshaft.
The Pressure Switch 10MD.

switches the electric motor (of the compressor) on and off. At 25 psi
(1.7236 bar) the pressure switch disconnects the 28 V DC line from the
relay. This stops the electric motor. When the pressure in the potable water
tank is 22 psi (1.5168 bar) the pressure switch connects the 28 V DC line. This

POWER SUPPLY
The electric motor that drives the compressor is supplied with 115 V AC at 400
HZ from the 3−phase AC BUS 2. This is switched to the motor through the re-
lay 9MD that is powered from the 28 V DC GND/FLIGHT BUS.
Operation
A normal cycle of the compressor increases the pressure in the water tank to
28 psi (1.9305 bar). At this pressure the pressure micro switch 10MD stops the
power supply to the relay 9MD.
If the air pressure in the potable water system decreases to below 25 psi
(1.7236 bar):
− the pressure micro switch 10MD energizes the relay 9MD,
− the compressor starts and the pressure in the potable water system
increases for another cycle.
If the air pressure in the system increases to above 28 psi (1.9305 bar):
− the pressure micro switch 10MD de−energizes the relay 9MD,
− the compressor stops.

Water Heater
(there are 2 different heaters with slight internal and external changes in
service)
CONFIG 1The water heater is installed under the washbasin inside the sani-

and the outlet is connected to the water faucet. The water heater has a
capacity of 1.5 l (0.4 US gal), the maximum quantity of water that can be
heated at one time. The water heater ON/OFF switch is found on the top part
of the unit.
When you set the ON/OFF switch to ON the water heating element energizes
(control light is on). When the water heats to a set temperature, a hermostat
opens to remove the electrical power from the heating element. When the wa-
ter temperature drops (usual heat decrease or as cold water replaces used hot
water) the thermostat closes to energize the heating element again.This se-
quence continues for as long as the water temperature changes and the ON/
OFF switch is set to ON.The thermostat is set to open (GO OFF) when the
water temperature increases to 48 DEG.C (118.40 DEG.F). It is set to close
(COME ON) when the water temperature decreases to 45 DEG.C (113.00
DEG.F). An over−temperature safety device which has a temperature range of
55 DEG.C (131.00 DEG.F) to 65 DEG.C (149.00 DEG.F) protects the heating
element.
You can reset the safety device with the pushbutton which is on the top
part of the water heater (under a cover).

38-32 WASTE WATER DRAIN SYSTEM

GENERAL
The waste−water drain system disposes the waste water from the lavatory LAVATORY
washbasins and the galley sinks.
The system has: GALLEY
− washbasin drain assemblies in the lavatories and galleys, WASTE
− drain valves in the sanitary unit cabinets, WATER
− drain lines and the heated drain masts. DRAIN
DRAIN ASSEMBLY
Drain Assembly
The lavatory washbasins have a drain valve assembly. This drain valve OVERFLOW
assembly has a valve body with drain and overflow connections.Optional is a DRAIN VALVE
control cable and control knob. The control cable connects the valve to the
control knob.
Drain Valve FLOOR

The drain valves, which are installed in the drain lines, have a valve body with
inlet/outlet connections, and a diaphragm. The valves prevent leakage of cabin
air through the drain lines.The valves also have a backflow prevention device.
The backflow prevention device which is integrated in the drain valves prevents
backflow of water through the outlet side of the valves.
Drainmast
Waste water is discarded to the outside through two drainmasts, which are
installed on the lower fuselage shell. The pressure difference between the ca-
bin and the drainmasts outlet discards the waste water through the drainmasts
in flight. Gravity discards the waste water through the drainmasts on the FUSELAGE SKIN
ground. The two masts have integrated electrical heating−elements to prevent
the water from freezing during high−altitude flights or during cold weather. The
heating elements are connected to the aircraft electrical network (Ref:

WASTE LEVEL INDICATION

Liquid Level Transmitter 40MG
The LLT gives the waste content level of the waste holding tank from empty
to full. It measures the hydrostatic pressure of the tank contents. The LLT
is connected electrically to the VSC. It gives the VSC an analog signal for
the waste content of the tank. The VSC calculates and transmits the signal
to the Forward Attendants Panel (FAP) for waste quantity indication.
Liquid Level Sensor 41MG
The LLS is an ultrasonic type sensor it is connected electrically to the
VSC. When the waste holding tank content level is at full, the LLS sends a
signal to the VSC. When the VSC receives a tank full signal, (from the LLS)
it shuts down the toilet systems and the SYS INOP legend on FAP comes on.
Under normal operation the LLS has the priority to transmit tank full to the
VSC.
NOTE : The liquid level sensor operates independently of the liquid level
transmitter.
