1. Description and Operation
1.1 General Description
1.1.1 The Model 668-400-2 Pressurematic Water System is a complete electrically
powered, constant displacement pump unit. It is used to supply a steady water
pressure of approximately 20 psig (1.38 bar) and a maximum flow rate of 1.5
gpm (5.6 l/m) for the water outlets in aircraft equipped with gravity tanks. In
aircraft with pressurized water tanks, the Model 668-400-2 provides boost
pressure to approximately 20 psig (1.38 bar) above cabin pressure.
1.1.2 Integral parts of the pump unit include a pump pressure regulator, system check
valve and flow sensor, over-pressure release valve, and pressure switch, and
four pole relay. A separate circuit breaker, push-button start switch with
indicator light is also supplied.
1.1.3 The pump unit will withstand pressure surges to 120 psig (8.28 bar) without
damage, leaks or malfunction. It employs magnetic coupling between the drive
motor and pump assembly and is therefore leak-proof and contamination free.
