WATER DISTRIBUTION UNIT FOR WATER RECIRCULATION SYSTEM
The present invention describes a system (1) enabling treating water from a water tank (3), which water tank (3) is arranged in a water distribution architecture also comprising one or more user units (8), said system (1) also enabling recycling of water or discarding of water not suitable to recycle, said system (1) comprising a water distribution unit (2), at least one water treating unit (6) and a sensor unit (7) arranged for measurement of at least water quality, said water distribution unit (2) comprising one common user unit inlet 9 connectable via piping to said one or more user units (8) on their used water output side; said water distribution unit (2) further comprising a contaminated water outlet (10); and said water distribution unit (2) further comprising at least one water recirculation port (1000) connectable via piping to the water tank (3) to enable flowing water between the water distribution unit (2) and the water tank (3); and wherein said at least one water treating unit (6) enables to treat water to increase the water quality thereof and where the sensor unit (7) is connected to a control unit, which, based on the measurement of the water quality, is arranged to decide if water should be recycled to the water tank (3) from the water distribution unit (2) or should be discarded via the contaminated water outlet (10) from the water distribution unit (2).
FAUCET WITH INTEGRATED WATER FILTER
An integrated faucet filtration system comprising a faucet assembly; a filter assembly; a first T-connector; and a second T-connector; wherein, the faucet assembly comprises a body; a spout; a spray head; a multi-channel hose fluidly coupled to the spray head and disposed in the spout; and a valve cartridge configured to control flow of unfiltered water; the filter assembly comprises a water filter; an electronic actuator; and a solenoid valve; the first T-connecter comprises a first branch configured to receive unfiltered water from a water source; a second branch configured to deliver unfiltered water to the water filter; and a third branch configured to deliver unfiltered water to the valve cartridge; and the second T-connecter comprises a first branch configured to receive unfiltered water from the valve cartridge; a second branch configured to receive filtered water from the water filter; and a third branch configured to deliver the filtered and unfiltered water.
Faucet with safety interlock for near-boiling and chilled water
A two-way or four-way water faucet dispenses near-boiling water on demand but has a safety interlock. A control valve assembly is attached to the faucet. The interlock uses two disks pressed into contact, each having a single projecting sector. One disk is fixed to the valve body. The other disk, fixed to the handle, slides against the first. The disks must be pulled apart by sliding the handle while it is being turned to superimpose the sectors and turn the control valve, connecting the faucet to the vented near-boiling water supply. A reed switch inside the fixed sector is activated by a magnet inside the rotatable sector and activates a near-boiling water pump.
Ozone water supply apparatus and ozone generation device
An ozone water supply apparatus and an ozone supply device are provided. The ozone generation device includes a Venturi tube and an ozone generation module connected to the Venturi tube. The ozone generation module includes a circuit unit, an ozone-activated tube, and a launcher, the latter two of which are electrically coupled to the circuit unit. The launcher includes a transparent tube, a floating body arranged in the transparent tube, and an optical detector arranged outside of the transparent tube and electrically coupled to the circuit unit. When a gas flows through the transparent tube so as to move the floating body along the transparent tube, the optical detector is configured to detect the movement of the floating body, so that the ozone-activated tube can be driven by the circuit unit to excite the gas to become an ozone that floats toward the Venturi tube.
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT
A water supply system for aircraft that is mounted on an aircraft to supply water to a plurality of water supply outlets in the aircraft. The water supply system for aircraft includes a tank for storing water, a water supply pipe, and an ultraviolet sterilization device. The water supply pipe extends from the tank, branches and is connected to each of the plurality of water supply outlets, and supplies water from the tank to the plurality of water supply outlets. The ultraviolet sterilization device is provided on the water supply pipe close to at least the water supply outlet for drinking water, includes a light-emitting diode emitting ultraviolet light, and sterilizes water supplied to the water supply outlet by irradiating the water with ultraviolet light from the light-emitting diode.
Mixer faucet
Provided is a mixer faucet that can suppress the occurrence of water leakage. A mixer faucet includes: a fixed valve body including a hot water supply hole, a cold water supply hole, and a drain hole; a movable valve body that includes a flow path forming recess and is configured to slide on the fixed valve body; and a handle configured to control the movable valve body. The fixed valve body includes a collection groove that is not connected to either the hot water supply hole or the cold water supply hole and is connected only to the drain hole. The collection groove can capture water leaking from the hot water supply hole, the cold water supply hole, or the drain hole. The captured water can flow into the drain hole through the collection groove.
LIQUID CONTROL APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS
Apparatuses and methods for liquid control are provided. A liquid control apparatus may be for selectively treating and/or substituting a liquid flow from at least one of a plurality of supply lines. The ultimate liquid flow is for dispensing to a user by way of a liquid supply fixture such as a tap. The apparatus comprises a liquid conditioning module for connection in-line with at least one of the plurality of supply lines. The liquid conditioning module receives a diverted liquid flow of the at least one supply line from an upstream portion of the supply line. It then outputs a selectively treated and/or substituted liquid flow for returning to a downstream portion of the supply line for dispensing to the user. The apparatus has at least one flow sensor, each flow sensor associated with one of the plurality of supply lines. It has a controller, the controller configured to receive information indicative of the liquid flow of at least one of the plurality of supply lines from the at least one flow sensor. The controller, upon the occurrence of a predetermined flow characteristic, is operable to activate the liquid conditioning module to treat and/or substitute the liquid flow from one or more of the liquid conditioning module connected supply lines in order to provide a treated and/or substituted liquid flow at the liquid supply fixture.
