Deluge Valve
Model A
Product Description
Deluge Valve is known as a system control valve in a deluge system,
used for fast application of water in a spray system. Deluge valve
protects areas such as power transformer installation, storage tank,
conveyor protection and other industrial application etc. With the
addition of foaming agent deluge valve can be used to protect
aircraft hanger and inflammable liquid fire.
Valve Operation
Deluge valve is a quick release, hydraulically operated diaphragm
valve. It has three chambers, isolated from each other by the
diaphragm operated clapper and seat seal. While in ‘SET’ position,
water pressure is transmitted through an external bypass check
valve and restriction orifice from the system supply side to the top
chamber, so that supply pressure in the top chamber acts across
the diaphragm operated clapper which holds the seat against the
inlet supply pressure because of differential pressure design. On
detection of fire the top chamber is vented to atmosphere through
the outlet port via opened actuation device(s). The top chamber
pressure cannot be replenished through the restricted inlet port, Technical Details
thus it reaches less than half the supply pressure instantaneously and Model A
the upward force of the supply pressure lifts the clapper allowing
