Abstract
The invention refers to a toilet system ( 1 ) comprising at least one toilet unit ( 2 ) having a device ( 3 ) for macerating and transportation of waste together with flush-water, so-called blackwater ( 4 ) to a holding-tank ( 6 ), and a combustion chamber ( 8 ) with economizer connectable directly or indirectly via a transportation-tank to said holding-tank ( 6 ), in said combustion chamber ( 8 ) the blackwater is incinerated.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet system comprising at least one toilet unit ( 2 ) having a device ( 3 ) for macerating and transportation of waste together with blackwater ( 4 ) to a holding-tank ( 6 ), and a combustion chamber ( 8 ) with economizer connectable directly or indirectly via a transportation tank to said holding-tank ( 6 ), and wherein said combustion chamber ( 8 ) the blackwater is incinerated.
2 . A toilet system according to claim 1 , wherein the device ( 3 ) for macerating and transportation of the blackwater ( 4 ) to the holding-tank ( 6 ) comprises a pump ( 9 ) having a macerator and that a dose-pump ( 10 ) is provided to transport the blackwater ( 4 ) from the holding-tank ( 6 ) to the combustion chamber ( 8 ).
3 . A toilet system according to claim 1 , wherein control of the incineration and vaporization of the blackwater ( 4 ) in the combustion chamber ( 8 ) is achieved by a continuous registration of the change of temperature in the combustion chamber ( 8 ), whereby the temperature is measured with a sensor ( 24 ) connected to a microprocessor ( 23 ), which is provided in a protective casing ( 25 ), which protective casing is mounted in the combustion chamber ( 8 ).
4 . A toilet system according to claim 1 , wherein the combustion chamber ( 8 ) includes a bottom ( 11 ) which consists by a wave profile ( 12 ) closed downwards to create a number, of adjacently extending flue gas channels ( 12 ′), which upwardly are delimited by wave peaks ( 13 ) and through which flue-gases from the incineration pass in order to thereafter be fed out to the atmosphere through an outlet-pipe ( 14 ), said flue gas channels ( 12 ′) extend in the flow direction of the flue gases at the same time as the excess heat from the flue gases is brought back to the blackwater ( 4 ) located in the wave troughs ( 13 ′) in providing a larger bottom surface area, which results in a higher efficiency.
5 . A toilet system according to claim 4 , wherein the wave troughs ( 13 ′), formed by the wave profile ( 12 ) in the bottom ( 11 ) of the combustion chamber ( 8 ), consist of a number of V-formations ( 15 ) extending next to each other along the bottom ( 11 ) in order to contain the black-water ( 4 ),
6 . A toilet system according to claim 4 , wherein a flue gas shield ( 16 ) is provided at the end of the flue gas channels ( 12 ′) in order to obtain a uniform heat recovery across the bottom ( 11 ) of the combustion chamber ( 8 ).
7 . A toilet system according to claim 1 wherein the combustion chamber ( 8 ) has an assembly-flange ( 17 ) for a burner mounted directly above the top ( 18 ) of the combustion chamber ( 8 ), said flange ( 17 ) extending into the combustion chamber ( 8 ) a predetermined distance to protect a burner head of the burner from direct exposure from both the blackwater ( 4 ) and vapors during the incineration process.
8 . A toilet system according to claim 3 , wherein the sensor ( 24 ) in said protective casing ( 25 ) is mounted on the same side of the combustion chamber ( 8 ) as the flue gases are fed out from the combustion area, and directly on top of a wave-peak ( 13 ).Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
