Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 The description in FIG. 1 shows the important components of the sanitary system of a rail vehicle, in particular the waste water container 1 and the fresh water container 2 . The waste water container 1 is equipped with a level sensor. Fill level sensor 3 of waste water container 1 is in a signaling connection with control device 4 , which controls the fill level of fresh water container 2 as a function of the currently detected measured value for the fill level of waste water container 1 .

[0017] Furthermore, the current measured values ​​from the fill level sensor 3 of the waste water container 1 are transmitted to a display device 5 and a vehicle diagnostic device 6 installed on the outside of the vehicle. In this case, the display device 5 is also designed as a simple indicator light, which only displays extreme values ​​exceeding the fill level in the waste water container 1 .

[0018] The filling level in the waste water container 1 is monitored conti...

Abstract

A rail vehicle contains a sanitary system which has a waste water tank and a fresh water tank which are each equipped with associated filling level sensors. A control device is provided for establishing a link in terms of control between the filling levels in the fresh water tank and waste water tank. The control device monitors the filling level in the waste water tank by associated sensors and controls the filling level in the fresh water tank as a function of a measured filling level in the waste water tank.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rail vehicle having a sanitary system with a waste water container and a fresh water container, each of which is associated with an associated fill level sensor. Background technique [0002] It is known in the prior art to monitor the fill levels of waste water and fresh water containers of sanitary systems in order to be able to shut down the sanitary system if necessary. In particular, the operation is stopped only when a 95% fill level is reached in the waste water container or an empty notification is generated for the fresh water container. [0003] A common goal in rail vehicles is to keep the vehicle weight or vehicle mass as low as possible. Since the underlying vehicle mass determines the quantity of the power fuel reserve, it should likewise be kept as low as possible. Today, for calculating the power fuel reserve, the fresh water container and the waste water container are each included in the calculation of the...
