  • Patent number: 11193262
    Abstract: A combined flushing and filling unit comprising a flush valve and a filling valve, which are situated in an inlet chamber to which line pressure is to be applied, and, between the inlet chamber and a particular outlet line, form a compensation chamber, each of which is closed with the aid of a servo-diaphragm, wherein the inlet chamber communicates with the compensation chambers via a connection opening, in each case, in the servo-diaphragm, and the compensation chambers each have a control opening for generating a pressure decrease, which releases the particular outlet line, in the relevant compensation chamber. Furthermore, a method for the operation of a combined flushing and filling unit comprising a flush valve for triggering an emptying process of a cistern is disclosed.
