Abstract

See full text

A system for suctioning fluid is disclosed. In a cabin monument, a vacuum source and a vacuum interface unit is provided. At least one flexible hose provides a connection to the vacuum interface unit, having at least one first fluid line having a connection element. The end connection element connects to a unit to be evacuated. The vacuum interface unit includes an adapter for connection to the at least one fluid line, and a trigger unit. At least one valve unit and a control unit for controlling the at least one valve unit reside in the cabin monument. The control unit controls the valve unit at least indirectly based on a trigger signal generated by the trigger unit. Thus, a flexible positioning of a unit to be evacuated for waste compaction is possible. The disclosure also relates to a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, having such a suctioning system.
