Developed for Training Purposes Only
* The system FILL/DRAIN process is controlled jointly by the VCU and the
WWSC.
The WWSC communicates with CMC and also receives flight and altitude
information from the aircraft through MAU 3 via ARINC (Aeronautical Radio
Incorporated) 429 bus. The WWSC and VCU are in normal mode of
operation while powered by DC GND SVC BUS or DC BUS 1. The WWSC
and VCU automatically switch to HOT BUS power when both DC GND SVC
BUS and DC BUS 1 fail to supply power. In the HOT BUS mode, both
WWSC and VCU operate partially to allow for draining and filling of the water
tank when neither one of the above mentioned buses are powered.
For ground servicing, the WWSC and VCU incorporate a HOT BUS mode
feature that allows system servicing when electrical power is removed from
the aircraft generators or a GPU. The drainage of the system in HOT BUS
mode is done by gravity through the drain port and only the residual water
from the lines installed aft the wing box is drained through the service panel
and aft drain mast.

WATER TANK QUANTITY INDICATION - MAIN COMPONENTS
Developed for Training Purposes Only
The water tank level sensor acts as an electronic sensing probe and provides
a continuous measuring of the water level. The water tank quantity indication
on the FAP is in the following percentage figures: 0%; 25%; 50%; 75%,
100%. The aft FAP provides water quantity indication to the cabin attendant.
The service panel indication contains two green LEDs that are marked
“FULL” and “DRAIN”. Filling is started by turning the FILL/DRAIN switch to
the FILL position. The FILL/DRAIN valve is automatically commanded to the
OPEN position and enables water tank to be filled via fill/ drain nipple in the
service panel. If the water level sensor detects that the water tank is full, the
Developed for Training Purposes Only
ABNORMAL OPERATION
A faulty water tank level sensor is detected by the WWSC. This failure occurs
if the output signal of the level sensor is out of range. The aft FAP provides
system fault indication to the cabin attendant and the service panel indication
is not available. The fill/ drain valve provides an overflow path to water when
the water level sensor is not operating. The valve is operated by electrical
signals from the WWSC.

WASTE DISPOSAL - MAIN COMPONENTS EFFECTIVITY: ACFT WITH AFT POTABLE WATER TANK
Developed for Training Purposes Only
The waste is carried to the waste tank through tubing and enters the tank via
flow diverter that slows the waste down in order to minimize splashing and
turbulence in the waste tank. The vacuum waste tubing is installed in the
pressurized zone, under the cabin floor, attached at regular intervals with
padded saddle clamps attached to the floor beams. The waste line is
designed to minimize the number of bends to reduce the possibility of clogs,
thus preventing line blockages and associated maintenance actions. Periodic
cleaning of the waste lines with crushed ice and vinegar or chemical solution
is necessary to prevent build-up within the waste line, which could lead to
waste line clogs.

WASTE DISPOSAL – OPERATION EFFECTIVITY: ACFT WITH AFT POTABLE WATER TANK
Developed for Training Purposes Only
The sinks of the galleys and lavatories are connected via the auto-drain
valves to the gray-water ground valve. The gray water ground valve serves to
direct the flow of gray water to the drain port on ground and to the fwd drain
mast in-flight. When the gray water enters the auto-drain valves from the
sinks, the gray-water ground valve opens and the water drains through the
drain masts when in-flight. When operating on the ground, the gray water is
drained by gravity through the drain port or the drain mast.
Developed for Training Purposes Only

• Gray-water hoses; detects that the landing gear is up. The normal position for the valve is OPEN
during a flight. In flight, the auto-drain valve remains in a closed position until
• Auto-drain valves; there is a head of gray water at the inlet; the auto-drain valve then opens
• Drain mast; automatically in order to drain the used water.
Developed for Training Purposes Only
Gray water auto drain valves are installed below the lavatories and galley
sinks. The valve drains the gray water through drain masts yet prevents the
loss of air through the empty and open sink. The design allows continuous
water drainage under small fluid heads and prevents back-flow. The valves
open at a maximum water head of 178 mm (7 inches). When no differential
pressure is applied, that is, when the aircraft is on the ground, the valve
drains gray water to drain masts and no residual water remains in the valve.
It is acceptable that the valve remains open on ground. In flight, the valve
remains in a closed position until there is a head of gray water at the inlet.
The valve then opens automatically in order to drain the used water.

The WWSC opens and leaves open the following valves 2 minutes after it
detects that the landing gear is up. The valves are always closed while
landing gear is down except during the drain process.
The VCU commands the ground valve to open when the weight on wheels
signal becomes true. The ground valve will be commanded close by the VCU
180 seconds after the weight on wheels becomes false. The time delay was
introduced to ensure that the contents of the gray water tank are drained by
gravity through the drain port while still at low altitudes when cabin differential
pressure is low.

VACUUM WASTE SYSTEM (VWS) - OVERVIEW
Developed for Training Purposes Only
Rinse water is supplied to the anti-siphon valve by the rinse valve. The rinse
valve is a solenoid-controlled, self-contained unit. The valve incorporates a
screen and an integral water inlet for the aircraft interface.
Each toilet assembly is self monitoring and outputs a signal if the flush valve
is obstructed.
The toilet rinse valve operates on 28 VDC (Volt Direct Current) power. The
toilet uses a 28 VDC orbital flush valve with dual face seals to prevent odors
from migrating into the cabin during shutdowns of the aircraft. This valve
contains switches at both open and closed positions to make sure that in the
open position, the valve is fully open with no obstruction into the waste
stream.

VACUUM WASTE SYSTEM (VWS) - MAIN COMPONENTS
Developed for Training Purposes Only
During toilet operation on the ground and at low altitudes, the air flows
through the vacuum generator to the overboard vent. At altitudes above
18000 ft (5486 m), the airflow bypasses the vacuum generator through the
check valve to the overboard vent. The check valve housing contains a
sealed double flapper assembly, with the flapper doors normally spring
loaded in the closed position to prevent internal leakage. The check valve
relies on the mating surface between the flappers and the valve housing to
create the seal.
