Lavatory potable water system

摘要

To eliminate as many hoses and tubes as possible, reduce overall system size, weight and costs, the manifold system disclosed herein has been developed. The apparatus in some examples utilizes a unitary structure (solid cast) manifold to replace many of the hoses previously provided. Several versions/examples of this apparatus are disclosed herein such as a manifold system and an integrated water manifold wherein a mount for a hot water heater and/or water filter are integrated into the manifold body.

1. An Aircraft Lavatory Potable Water System comprising:
a. a unitary structure manifold body having;
i. a plurality of independent internal fluid conduits comprising a first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit,ii. a potable water inlet in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit,iii. a water filter outlet in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit,iv. a water filter inlet in fluid communication with the second fluid conduit,v. a water heater outlet in fluid communication with the second fluid conduit,vi. a cold water outlet in fluid communication with the second fluid conduit; and b. a check valve mounted to the manifold body to allow one-way water flow from the second conduit to the first conduit during a purge of the system.
