WATER/WASTE SYSTEM COMPONENT LOCATION (2)

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The water and waste system consist of three subsystems:
- potable water system,
- waste water system,
- toilet system.
WATER FLUID STORAGE (A318 / A319 / A321)
The potable water tank is installed in the pressurized LH underfloor
area rear of the aft cargo compartment. An indication system monitors
the water quantities.
POTABLE WATER SYSTEM
The potable water system supplies water from the water tank through
a distribution system to the user. The water is supplied to water faucets
in the galleys and lavatories. The system also supplies water to the
water heaters and vacuum toilet units. Mechanically or electrically
operated valves control the supply of the potable water system.
Compressed air is used to pressurize the system to supply water from
the tank to the necessary service locations. The air pressure is supplied
from the bleed air system in normal configuration or a ground pressure
connection for maintenance. An air compressor can be installed as an
UCC11021 - U2935T0 - UM38C1COMPLOC02

option. Each lavatory can be isolated from the potable water

distribution system through a manual shut-off valve.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW (continued)
POTABLE WATER HEATING, ICE PROTECTION AND
WINTERIZATION PROTECTION
One water heater is installed in each lavatory and in each galley. Water
pipes, where icing conditions can occur are insulated and heated by
tape electrical heaters. The heating elements are controlled
automatically by two anti ice control units installed in the cargo
compartments.
The potable water service panel heating is installed to prevent ice
formation in the potable water servicing panel in icing conditions.
Optionally the fill/drain nipple as well as the overflow nipple are
electrically heated to prevent ice formation of the remaining water in
the fill/drain nipple and overflow nipple which could cause a blockage
or damage to the nipples.
A thermostat controls the potable water service panel heating. In
winter conditions, the potable water system must be drained during
night stops.

POTABLE WATER CONTROL AND INDICATING
(SERVICE PANEL)
There is only one control handle to fill or drain the water tank. It is
located on the water service panel. One forward drain valve is
electrically controlled when the fill/drain control handle is set to the
drain position. On the A320, the overflow valve opens electrically
when the fill/drain control handle is set to the drain or fill position.
On the servicing panel, the indicator gives the water quantity. One
green light indicates that the forward drain valve is open and one green
light indicates that the tank is full.

the differential pressure between the cabin and the atmospheres is
sufficient to move the waste from the toilet bowl into the waste holding
tank. At low altitude or on ground, a vacuum generator starts to give
the necessary differential pressure in the waste system to move the
waste from the bowl to the tank. The Vacuum System Controller
Function (VSCF), integrated in the Cabin Intercommunication Data
System (CIDS), controls the flushing system operation and stops the
operation when the waste servicing panel is open. When the tank is
full, the liquid level sensor stops the system operation.

TOILET SYSTEM PRINCIPLE (2)

GENERAL
Potable water from the aircraft pressurized potable water system is used
to flush the toilet bowl. Differential pressure between the cabin and the
atmosphere moves the waste from the toilet bowl to the waste holding
tank. This difference of pressure can be caused by the vacuum generator
or by aircraft pressurization.

RINSE/FLUSH CONTROL
A flush control unit per toilet controls the time and sequence of the toilet
operation during the flushing cycle.

VACUUM CONTROL
A vacuum generator is connected to the aircraft power circuit through
the motor starting relay. As soon as a FLUSH switch is pressed, the flush
control unit sends an electrical signal, through the connected
Decoder/Encoder Unit (DEU) B to the Cabin Intercommunication Data
System (CIDS) directors, which activates the motor starting relay
according to the altitude. The Cabin Pressure Controller (CPC) supplies
altitude data to CIDS via the System Data Acquisition Concentrator
(SDAC). At high altitude, the CPC stops the electrical supply of the
vacuum generator, the differential pressure between the cabin and the
UCC11021 - U2935T0 - UM38P1000000002

atmosphere being sufficient to move the waste from the toilet bowl to
the waste holding tank. At low altitude or on ground, the vacuum
generator generates the necessary differential pressure.

WATER/WASTE SYSTEM LINE MAINTENANCE (2)

SERVICING
POTABLE WATER SERVICING
The potable water system supplies the galleys and toilets with water
from the tank via a distribution system. The tank is pressurized by air
either:
- from the pneumatic system,
- or from a ground cart connected to the ground connector,
- or optionally from a compressor.
On the A320 only, two valves are used for filling:
- the fill/drain valve, this is opened manually and closed electrically,
- the overflow valve, this is opened and closed electrically.
Four valves are used for draining:
- the fill/drain valve, this is opened and closed manually,
- the FWD drain valve, tank drain valve and overflow valve, these are
opened and closed electrically.

NOTE: On A320, if there is no electrical power all four valves can

be manually operated.
On A318, A319 and A321, one valve is used for filling:
- the overflow/fill/drain valve, this is opened manually and closed
electrically.
UCC11021 - U2935T0 - UM38BA000000002

Two valves are used for draining:

- the overflow/fill/drain valve, this is manually operated,

MAINTENANCE TIPS
POTABLE WATER SYSTEM DRAINING IN COLD
WEATHER CONDITIONS
In cold weather conditions, the potable water system must be drained
to prevent damage to the system by ice. To know if it is necessary to
drain the potable water system, refer to the water system drain
configuration table in the AMM 12-24-38. If the bleed air system is
off and the external air temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), the drain
valves must remain open after the potable water system is drained to
prevent damage to the potable water system. The cold weather
maintenance procedures for the potable water system are given in the
AMM 12-31-38.
