Abstract (en)

A vacuum toilet with one or more sensors for sensing, during each cycle of operation of the toilet, the values of one or more of the air pressure in the air inlet, the air pressure in the tank, the ambient temperature, the open or closed state of the inlet valve, and the open or closed state of the outlet valve. This allows a full and detailed diagnosis of the toilet as well as documentation of the status and history of the toilet. A test report including an individual serial number can be issued and supplied with the toilet to the customer, and test reports can serve as a basis for demonstrating the history of the toilet, and in case of malfunction a test report serves as a basis of diagnosing the toilet and deciding on the proper action to be taken.
