Abstract
A ventilation apparatus optimizes the ventilation of refuse receptacles. To this end, a sensor is placed inside a refuse receptacle and serves to detect fermentation gases, water vapor or the like. A sensor signal is used in turn to regulate or control a fan that withdraws gases and vapors from the refuse receptacle. A manual control of the ventilator by specifying the desired operating time is also conceivable. In addition, a nonreturn flap is provided inside the suction tube that prevents gases and vapors from flowing in the opposite direction out of a drain system and into the receptacle.
Claims29
A waste collecting apparatus, comprising:
- a ventilating device to be fluidically connected to a storage installation in which at least one receptacle can be housed, and further connected to a waste air/water system, for ventilation of an interior of the storage installation.
A waste collecting apparatus, comprising:
- at least one receptacle to be disposed in a storage installation;
- and
- a ventilating device fluidically connected to said at least one receptacle and to a waste air/water system, for ventilating said at least one receptacle, said ventilating device having a valve mechanism by which a medium can be prevented from flowing into said at least one receptacle or the storage installation.
A waste collecting apparatus, comprising:
- at least one receptacle to be disposed in a storage installation;
- and
- a ventilating device fluidically connected to said at least one receptacle or the storage installation, and further connected to a waste air/water system, for ventilating said at least one receptacle, said ventilating device having at least one of a sensor mechanism and a time control mechanism, by which the ventilating of said at least one receptacle can be controlled or regulated.
A method for collecting waste, which comprises the steps of:
- depositing the waste into at least one receptacle;
- ventilating the at least one receptacle;
- controlling or regulating the ventilating of the receptacle being performed internally or externally, under control or regulation using a sensor mechanism.
A method for collecting waste, which comprises the steps of:
- depositing the waste into at least one receptacle;
- ventilating the at least one receptacle with a ventilating device;
- performing the ventilating of the receptacle internally or externally;
- and
- preventing a passage of a medium through the ventilating device into the at least one receptacle using a valve mechanism.
