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.

Product information

VALVE OPERATION
Deluge valve is a quick release, hydraulically operated diaphragm valve. It has three chambers, isolated 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 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, thus it reaches less than half the supply pressure instantaneously and the upward force of the supply pressure lifts the clapper allowing water to enter the system piping network and alarm devices.
