Fire Protection Div. Deluge Pressure Reducing Valves General description and operation modes This electrically actuated, manual-reset, pressure reducing deluge valve is designed for fire protection systems controlled by a fire alarm control panel and actuated by a solenoid valve acting as the automatic release device. The basic control valve type used in this deluge system is a direct-sealing elastomeric diaphragm, hydraulically operated control valve engineered specifically for fire protection systems. The system includes a / way N.O. solenoid as the interface between the fire alarm control panel - monitoring heat, smoke or flames - and the deluge valve. In the standby position, the deluge valve is held closed by the upstream water pressure, trapped in the valve's control chamber. The water pressure enters the control chamber through the priming line ball valve [], a Y-type strainer [], a check valve [] and a T-restrictor [5]. Under fire conditions, a fire alarm control panel energizes the / way N.O. solenoid [0] (or de-energizes the coil of a continuously energized ED 00% normally closed solenoid for SIL - rated systems). This causes the pressure in the RCL 8-UL relay valve (manual-reset latching relay) [9] to drop, causing it to latch open and allow the water to begin to drain from the deluge valve s control chamber through the pressure reducing pilot []. The deluge valve opens instantly, regulating to a steady, preset downstream pressure, regardless of upstream pressure or flow rate fluctuations. This allows water to flow into the pipeline and through the open sprinklers over the protected area. Manual emergency actuation is enabled by opening the emergency manual activation valve. When connected through the pressure reducing pilot [] (optional), manual actuation causes the deluge valve to regulate the downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure or flow rate fluctuations. if 68P-DE\RCL\PR unspecified, the manual activation valve is drained to the atmosphere, thus allowing the deluge valve to open fully. When actuated, the deluge valve opens instantly and allows water to flow into the pipeline and through the open sprinklers over the protected area. To reset the deluge valve and close it, the RCL 8-UL relay s [9] knob must be rotated to unlatch it, thus re-admitting water into the valve s control chamber. Resetting, maintenance and periodic testing instructions must be followed as described in detail in the relevant Dorot DE\RCL\PR model's IOM (Installation, Operation & Maintenance) manual. 68P-DE\RCL\PR Standby Position Electrically Actuated & Pressure Reducing [] [] [] [] [5] [9] [0] [] [] [] [] [5] [9] [0] [] [] To System Manually Actuated & Pressure Reducing Reset to Close [] [] [] [5] [9] [0] [] [] [] [5] [] [9] [0] Rotate [] To System []

When a fire alarm control panel energizes the / way N.O. solenoid (or de-energizes the coil of a continuously energized ED 00% normally closed solenoid for SIL - rated systems) the RCL 8-UL relay latches open and the deluge valve's control chamber begins to drain through the pressure reducing pilot.

The valve shall consist of three major components: the body, cover and the diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm shall be the only moving part. The diaphragm forms a sealed control chamber in the upper portion of the valve, separating operating pressure from line pressure. Packing glands stuffing boxes and dynamic o-ring seals are not permitted and there shall be no shafts, discs, bearings or pistons operating the main valve. No hourglass-shaped disc retainers shall be permitted and no V-type, U-type or other slotted type disc guides shall be used. The valve shall contain a nylon reinforced rubber diaphragm, elastic & resilient through its entire surface without vulcanized radial discs and/or reinforcements. The diaphragm shall not be guided by any shafts or bearings and shall not be in close contact with other valve parts except for its sealing surface. Maintenance, disassembly and reassembly of all the valve s components shall be made possible on site and in-line, without the need to remove the valve from the line. Standard material valves such as Ductile Iron (ASTM A-56 65-5-) and Cast Steel (WCB A-6) should be coated with high-built fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) and a UV protective topcoat conforming to EN9 C & C5 high & very high corrosivity protection grades. Naval quality/very high corrosivity protection grade conforming to EN9 C5M is available upon request. Other coating standards such as NORSOK or ANSI/NACE as well as coatings for special material valves such as austenitic Stainless Steel (CF8M/ASTM A-6 ) and Nickel Aluminum Bronze (ASTM B-8) can be supplied upon request. The valve should be UL listed under category VLFT for fire protection service.
