Abstract: The invention relates to a tank system for cooling, storing and removing a liquid, comprising a tank for cooling the liquid and storing the liquid in a volume along a stratification axis of the volume for thermal stratification along the stratification axis, wherein the tank can be filled through a filling device having a filling inlet in an inlet region along the stratification axis and can be emptied via an outlet in an outlet region opposite the inlet region along the stratification axis. For the purpose of flexible handling, in order to prevent mixing, the supplied liquid is conveyed into a flow, which extends completely or partly in a plane perpendicular to the stratification axis, and is supplied to the liquid stored in the tank, such that the flow runs tangentially to a circular arc that extends in a plane perpendicular to the stratification axis.

Abstract: A cartridge (1) for the generation of control signals for a water mixing system includes a housing (7), a lever attachment (2) which is moveable relative to the housing (7) for the accommodation of a lever, and a detector device for the generation of a signal according to the position of the lever attachment (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a carbonation apparatus (10), in particular for the introduction of carbon dioxide to liquid, having a gas outlet which is configured to be introduced into a container (7) which can be filled with liquid, a gas connector which is fluidically connected to the gas outlet via a controllable valve (4), a control device (5) which is configured to control the valve (4), comprising, furthermore: a fixture (1) with a weight determining device for determining a weight of a gas cylinder (3) which is received in the fixture (1) and is connected to the gas connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary fitting that is comfortable to use for outputting mains water and prepared water of at least one preparation type, in particular filtered and/or boiling and/or chilled and/or carbonated water, wherein at least one control unit is provided for controlling the respective water flow of the mains water and/or the prepared water, and an operating unit is provided for contactlessly influencing at least one of the water flows, in particular both water flows, and for generating and forwarding control signals to at least one of the control units.
