Further, it shall have a ‘Retard’ to compensate for line leakage or intermitted flows.
21.8 Deluge Valve

A Deluge System shall have a fixed fire protection system in which the pipe system is
empty until the deluge valve operates to distribute pressurized water from open nozzles
or sprinklers. Deluge systems are more complex than wet pipe and dry systems
because they contain more components and equipment. The deluge valve is activated
by operation of a fire detection system installed in the same area as the sprinklers.
Various types of detection systems may be used, including smoke, heat, ultraviolet
(UV), or infrared (IR) detection. The Viking deluge system can be activated by a
hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, or manual release system or any combination of these
release systems. But, in all cases, the deluge valve itself is activated hydraulically.
When the detection device is activated, the deluge valve is tripped and water flows into
the piping system, discharging through all spray nozzles or sprinklers simultaneously.
There are a number of arrangements that can be used for operating the deluge system.
The simplest of these is to use sprinklers in a pilot line under system water pressure.
The pilot line is piped from the priming chamber to the area protected with connections
to the PORV and emergency release. When a pilot head operates, pressure in the
priming chamber is relieved faster than it can be replenished through the restricted
orifice. Supply pressure overcomes the clapper differential, forcing the clapper off its
seat, allowing water to flow to the system outlets and sound the water flow
alarm.G.I.Medium class pipe shall be use after deluge valve.
21.9 Solenoid Valve
The solenoid valve shall have a two-way type with one inlet and one outlet. It is a
packless, internal pilot operated valve, suitable for use in releasing water pressure from
the priming chamber. The solenoid valve has floating diaphragm construction, which
requires a minimum pressure drop across the valve to operate properly. The valves are
available with a voltage rating of 24V DC in a normally closed or normally open
configuration, or 110/50-120/60 normally closed configuration. These solenoid valves
are for use with system control units that are listed and/or approved for releasing
service for water based fire protection systems.
The solenoid valve shall have an internal pilot operated valve with pilot and bleed
orifices utilizing line pressure for operation. Normally closed, de-energized valves open
when energized. Power is applied to the solenoid coil, causing the solenoid core to lift,
opening the pilot orifice to the outlet side of the valve. This relieves pressure on the top
side of the diaphragm and allows the line pressure to open the valve. When de-
energized, the solenoid core reseals the pilot orifice, allowing the line pressure to build
above the diaphragm, closing the valve.

21.10 Fire Sealant
ASTM C-834-00 specification for latex sealing compounds. USDA acceptance for use in
meat and poultry processing plants, ASTM C-919 standard practice per use of sealants
in acoustical applications, and ASTM E-90-09. Fire Rated System: Two-hour Fire and

show the measured values where various operational parameters of the meter can be
selected by means of an associated keyboard. The Flow Meters and the accessories
shall be suitable for continuous operation under an ambient temperature of 0-55°C and
Relative Humidity of 0-95% unless specified otherwise in volume IIB Section-B or
Section-C. All accessories required for mounting/erection of these instruments shall be
furnished as necessary for completeness of the system. The guarantee of flow
measuring assembly shall be 18 months from the date of dispatch or 12 months from
commissioning whichever is earlier.
21.12 The Main Stop Valve

These shall be of cast iron body of requisite size. When closed, these will shut off supply
of water to the installation.
A location plate must be fixed on the outside or an external wall, as near to the main
stop valve as possible, bearing the following words on raised letters or other approved

supervision of the open position of O.S. & Y gate valves which control water supplies to
automatic sprinkler or stand pipe fire protection system.
Supervision of the open position of a main control valve is required to indicate a
condition closing of the valve, that could prevent the required operation of the fire
protection system.
Supervision switches or monitor switches are operated by movement of the trip rod or by
removal of the cover. The trip rod is spring loaded and double action, consequently,
lateral movement of the trip rod, in either direction from its normally installed position will

Each Novec 1230 Clean Agent extinguishing unit, when installed, is a self-contained
system, meaning that it is equipped with its own automatic (non-electric) detection
system, which when actuated, automatically releases the suppression agent into the
Electric panel.
The Novec 1230 Clean Agent Automatic Direct System consists of the following
major components:
Clean Agent Cylinder/Valve Assembly.
Cylinder Mounting Bracket.
Linear Pneumatic Heat Detector, Actuation and Discharge Tubing and Fittings (Red
Colour, 6 mm OD, 4mm ID).
Pressure Switch

End of Line Adapter with Pressure Gauge.

Push in Tube Fittings.
Audio Visual Alarm
The Novec 1230 Clean Agent Automatic Direct System utilizes unique Linear
Pneumatic Heat Sensing flexible tubing that is attached to the top of the cylinder
valve. This Linear Pneumatic Heat Sensing tube is pressurized with dry nitrogen is
temperature sensitive and acts as a continuous linear thermal detector that ruptures
upon Flame impingement when the Temperature reaches 100 oC – 120 o C.
Once the detector tubing is ruptured forming a nozzle at the rupture point, it allows the
Clean Agent to flow through, distributing the extinguishing agent into the protected
area. Upon system actuation, the pressure switch can be used to indicate system
discharge, shutdown ventilation, shut-off electrical power etc may be required.
The Novec 1230 Clean Agent Automatic Direct System is designed and listed as an
Automatic unit. No manual or electric means is provided for simultaneous actuation of
multiple systems.
The Novec 1230 Clean Agent is stored in steel cylinders as a liquefied compressed
gas, super-pressurized with Dry Nitrogen to 13.5 Kg/cm2. The ambient operating
temperature range for all system components is (0oC to 54.4oC).
Each container is equipped with a Stainless Steel / nickel–plated brass valve, a

pressure gauge to monitor container pressure, and a quarter-turn ball valve that
interfaces with the Linear Pneumatic Heat Sensing tube. The ball valve must be kept
closed at all times when the container is not in service.
A wall-mounted painted steel bracket is used to mount the container/valve assembly

in a vertical (upright) position.
For the direct Novec 1230 Clean Agent systems, the tubing performs three functions:
Heat Detection, System Activation, and Clean Agent discharge. The tubing is installed
throughout the Electrical Panel volume, with one end connected to the top of the
Clean Agent container valve. The tubing is pressurized with Dry Nitrogen to 13.5
Kg/cm2 and maintains the system in the “OFF” position.
A pressure switch is connected at the Valve to monitor system pressure, system
actuation and/or to energize DE-energize electrically operated equipment.
Manufacturer recommends that all systems use a pressure switch coupled with some
other devices To alert personnel in the event of a system discharge
The system should have means to close the exhaust fans if installed in the panel at
the time of system activation
As desired by the engineer-in-charge the main supply of panel can be shut off with
the system.
