Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0602430A1] An expansion vessel for heated drinking water has a hollow space (52) which is closed off by a membrane (42) and is connected to a drinking-water heater. A compressed-gas space (54), bounded by a housing (40), adjoins the hollow space (52). The connector assembly (58) is constructed, for connection of the hollow space (52) to an inlet (70) and for direct connection of the inlet (70) to an outlet (72), in such a way that a drinking-water current is generated through the hollow space (52) when hot drinking water is drawn off. For this purpose, the connector assembly (58) has a direct flow passage (76), passing the hollow space (52), between inlet (70) and outlet (72) and furthermore establishes a flow path (86) which runs, in terms of flow, parallel to the direct flow passage (76) and through the hollow space (52). Arranged in this parallel flow path (86) is a suction device (96), by which a suction can be generated by means of the flow of drinking water flowing in the direct flow path, which suction is used to be able to generate, when drinking water is drawn off, a flow via the parallel flow path (86), through the hollow space (52), into a downstream part (72) of the direct flow path. <IMAGE>
