Waste
system.
On some airplanes, waste water from the forward galley, lavatory and
threshold drains are drained into the waste water holding tank located in
the electronics equipment compartment. The holding tank provides storage
for waste water accumulated while the airplane is on the ground. When
the airplane is in flight, this accumulation and any additional waste
water from the forward galley or lavatory drains is siphoned overboard
thru the forward drain mast. Waste water from the aft galley, lavatory
and threshold drains are routed directly overboard thru the aft drain mast.

Blue ice
WHAT: Blue ice is created when restroom holding tanks or drain tubes on an aircraft leak. A dark blue chemical is
added to the water to break down solid matter. Because airplanes cruise at high altitudes, any water freezes upon
contact with the outside air, hence the name blue ice. The FAA contends that if a chunk of blue ice were to fall from
an aircraft at 30,000 feet, the ice would break up and melt before hitting the ground.

Each lavatory has a drain valve located below the cylindrical water heater in
the lower part of the sink cabinet (Fig. 2 and 3). The drain valve controls
potable water drainage and supply in the lavatory compartment. The
lavatory
washbasins each have a faucet with hot and cold water. The faucets are selfventing. This allows automatic bleeding of air from the
system, and allows
draining the system without opening the faucet.
Most of the water distribution system is flexible Teflon hose with reinforced
fiber covering. Metal fittings and connectors are used at junctions and line
replaceable units. Distribution lines route from below the water tank to
above the cabin ceiling and enter galleys and lavatories from above.
Each lavatory has a water heater in the supply line to the washbasin
faucet.
The passenger water system quantity indicator shows the flight crew
the amount of water in the passenger water tank. The water quantity
transmitter sends quantity signals to the water quantity indicator.
The water tank is aft of the bulk cargo compartment on the right side
of the airplane. Vertical support members attach the tank to the
fuselage frame.
and
The passenger water system service panel is on the fuselage below the
aft entry door. The service panel has both inlet and outlet ports for the
fill/overflow valve. Also on the service panel is a control handle for
the fill/overflow valve, a drain handle to operate the potable water
drain valve, and a fitting for ground service air.
Fill and Overflow Valve
The fill/overflow valve is a four-port valve used to fill the potable water
tank. The fill/overflow valve attaches to an intercostal between floor
beams to
the left of the potable water tank. The fill/overflow valve handle is on the potable
water service panel. In the open or service position, the
fill/overflow valve
allows the potable water tank to be filled. In the closed
position, the
fill/overflow valve seals the potable water tank so it can be
pressurized.
Water Tank Drain Valve (Fig. 1 and 2)
The passenger water tank drain valve is two-port valve located behind
the aft cargo compartment, below the passenger water tank and controls
draining of the passenger water tank. A drain valve control handle is
accessible on the water service panel.
Water Filter Drain Valve (Rumbold or YRC Lavatories with Water Filter)
(Fig. 3)
The drain valve for the water filter is installed in the Rumbold or
YRC lavatories with a water filter. It is found under the water
heater adjacent to the drain valve for the lavatory. When the valve
is set
in the drain position, the water in the filter can go out of the
filter. Then the
filter canister can be opened without the water that
can get the sink cabinet
wet.
The water quantity transmitter attaches to the top of the water tank.
The transmitter receives a signal from a float-type sensor inside the
water tank. Changes in the water level cause different switches in the
transmitter to be energized, controlling illumination of water quantity
indicator bulbs.
The water quantity indicator is above the aft service door. When the
pushbutton on the indicator is pushed, the applicable bulb(s) illuminate
to show water quantity in 1/4-tank increments.
Operation (Fig. 2)
A.
The potable water tank uses air pressure from the pneumatic manifold to
move the water to the lavatories and the galleys. The pneumatic manifold
supplies bleed air from engine number one, engine number two, and the
APU. On some airplanes the ninth stage bleed air from the engine number
one is the primary air supply. The pneumatic manifold is the secondary
air supply. The potable water tank location is aft of the aft cargo
compartment (Fig. 1).
B.
C.
All water tank pressurization system air passes through an air filter and
pressure regulator on way to the water tank. The air is filtered to
prevent contamination. The pressure regulator reduces the air pressure
and maintains 25 psi or 35 psi on some airplanes in the water tank.
Check valves in the system prevent reverse pressurization (Fig. 1 and 2).
