The invention provides a water supply system for use in an aircraft, a method for draining water from a buffer tank of the water supply system or allowing air to enter or exit the buffer tank of the water supply system in an aircraft, and an aircraft including the water supply system. The system includes: a buffer tank holding a volume of water, the buffer tank including a fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet; a supply device selectively allowing fluid to flow from the at least one fluid outlet to the user equipment; and a release device allowing fluid to flow out of the at least one fluid outlet. The release device comprises a release conduit in fluid communication with the at least one fluid outlet, the release conduit comprising a separation element with a separation element inlet above and separated from the separation element outlet by a separation distance, the separating element is configured such that water flowing therethrough in a forward direction flows from the inlet to the outlet across the separating distance and water flowing therethrough in an opposite direction flows into and remains in the separating element outlet, the separating element defined by the user device.
本发明提供飞行器中使用的供水系统、飞行器中从供水系统的缓冲罐排水或者使空气进入或离开供水系统的缓冲罐的方法和包括供水系统的飞行器。系统包括:保持一定体积的水的缓冲罐,其包括流体入口和至少一个流体出口;选择性地允许流体从至少一个流体出口流至用户设备的供应装置;以及允许流体从至少一个流体出口流出的释放装置。释放装置包括与至少一个流体出口流体连通的释放管道,释放管道包括带分离元件入口的分离元件,分离元件入口在分离元件出口上方且与分离元件出口分开一分离距离,使得沿向前方向流动穿过其中的水从入口跨越分离距离流至出口,并且沿相反方向流动穿过其中的水流入并保留在分离元件出口中,分离元件由用户设备限定。
