A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a compressed-air-operated toilet device and a compressed air supply system which supplies compressed air to the toilet device during normal operation. The vehicle also includes an emergency compressed air source that is suitable for providing compressed air for continued operation of the toilet device in the event of a failure of the compressed air supply system.

Vehicle, in particular rail vehicle, with a compressed air-operated toilet device

A sanitary module for a rail vehicle has a trough-shaped floor region and side panels. The side panels have on their inside a recess in the floor region, in the cross-section of which ramp-like sealing profile sections are provided, the vertically running side areas of which are in contact with associated recess areas of the side panels. The sealing profiles are formed for fastening onto a baseplate. A floor covering forms the trough-shaped floor region of the sanitary module and extends across the ramp-like sides of the covering profiles. Sealing material is introduced in the upper part of the recess of the side panels in such a manner that the floor covering is closed flush with the side panels above the recess thereof.

Sanitary module for rail vehicles

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.
