Abstract

Water supply vehicle comprising a water reservoir, a flow through descaling device having a water inlet, a water outlet, a detecting device for detecting a water characteristic in a water flow from the water inlet to the water outlet, a controllable water descaling device, and a controlling device being designed for controlling the water descaling device based on a water characteristic detected by the detection device, wherein the water reservoir is connected to the water inlet, wherein the water outlet is connectable to a water hose for supplying water to a water consumer.

First claim

1 . Water supply vehicle comprising:
a water reservoir, a flow through descaling device having a water inlet, a water outlet, a detecting device for detecting a water characteristic in a water flow from the water inlet to the water outlet, a controllable water descaling device, and a controlling device being designed for controlling the water descaling device based on a water characteristic detected by the detection device, wherein the water reservoir is connected to the water inlet, wherein the water outlet is connectable to a water hose for supplying water to a water consumer.

2 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the water reservoir comprises a heater.

3 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the water supply vehicle comprises a pump, which pump is arranged so as to force a water flow from the reservoir through the flow through descaling device to the water outlet.

4 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the water descaling device is an electrolytic descaling device.

5 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a dosage unit having an additive reservoir and a controllable feeding device, wherein the controllable feeding device is adapted to control a feeding of an additive from the additive reservoir between the water descaling device and the water outlet.

6 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a service panel being adapted for indicating of needed parameters and a parameter input or adjustment possibility.

7 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the detecting device for detecting a water characteristic is adapted to detect at least one characteristic out of a group, the group consisting of:
water hardness water conductivity pH-value water temperature water flow.

8 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a filter for filtering residuals from the water, wherein the filter is arranged between the water descaling device and the water outlet.

9 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a bypass line for bypassing the water descaling device, wherein the bypass line branches before the water descaling device and ends between the water descaling device and the water outlet.

10 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a circulation/regeneration line, wherein the circulation/regeneration line connects a branch behind the water descaling device and connects a branch before the water descaling device.

11 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the circulation/regeneration line comprises a circulation pump and/or a drain.

12 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a recirculation line, wherein the recirculation line branches after the water descaling device and ends in the water reservoir for circulating water from the water reservoir to the water descaling device and back to the water reservoir.

13 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling device comprises a voltage/current detection, wherein the controlling device is adapted to control the controlling voltage/current of the water descaling device to be below a predetermined threshold value so as to avoid electrolysis of the water.

14 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the water descaling device is a lime descaling device.

15 . Water supply vehicle comprising:
a water reservoir, a flow through descaling device having a water inlet, a water outlet, a detecting device for detecting a water characteristic in a water flow from the water inlet to the water outlet, a controllable water descaling device, and a controlling device being designed for controlling the water descaling device based on a water characteristic detected by the detection device, wherein the water reservoir is connected to the water inlet, wherein the water outlet is connectable to a water hose for supplying water to a water consumer, and wherein the water reservoir comprises a heater.

16 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the water supply vehicle comprises a pump, which pump is arranged so as to force a water flow from the reservoir through the flow through descaling device to the water outlet.

17 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 16 , further comprising a dosage unit having an additive reservoir and a controllable feeding device, wherein the controllable feeding device is adapted to control a feeding of an additive from the additive reservoir between the water descaling device and the water outlet.

18 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 17 , further comprising a filter for filtering residuals from the water, wherein the filter is arranged between the water descaling device and the water outlet,
a bypass line for bypassing the water descaling device, wherein the bypass line branches before the water descaling device and ends between the water descaling device and the water outlet, and
a circulation/regeneration line, wherein the circulation/regeneration line connects a branch behind the water descaling device and connects a branch before the water descaling device.

19 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 18 , further comprising a recirculation line, wherein the recirculation line branches after the water descaling device and ends in the water reservoir for circulating water from the water reservoir to the water descaling device and back to the water reservoir.

20 . Water supply vehicle according to claim 19 , wherein the controlling device comprises a voltage/current detection, wherein the controlling device is adapted to control the controlling voltage/current of the water descaling device to be below a predetermined threshold value so as to avoid electrolysis of the water.
