Single or Double-Interlock Pre-Action Electrically Actuated Valve DE EL
Electrically controlled, single or double-interlock, pre-action valve, actuated by the pipeline pressure. The valve is closed in its normal, set position and opens when a 2w solenoid valve is energized. The electric interlock functionality is controlled through the fire control panel. An emergency manual release valve is fitted as standard.

OPERATION
The basic control valve [1] used in this pre-action system is a direct-sealing elastomeric diaphragm, hydraulically operated control valve engineered specifically for fire protection systems.
In the standby position, the pre-action 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 [2], a Y-type strainer [3], a check valve [4] and a T-restrictor [5].
Under fire conditions, a fire alarm control panel (F&G panel) energizes the 2/2-way N.C. Solenoid [9] (or de-energizes the coil of a continuously energized ED 100% normally open solenoid for SIL 3-4 rated systems).
In single-interlock systems the solenoid is energized upon activation of the detection system. In double-interlock systems the solenoid is energized upon activation of the detection system and a drop in supervisory pressure, following bursting of one (or more) of the automatic sprinklers. When this happens, water is drained the pre-action valve’s control chamber through the 2/2-way N.C. Solenoid. The pre-action valve opens instantly and allows water to flow the pipeline and through any open sprinklers over the protected area.
Pressure switches on the pre-action valve’s downstream port [10] and the check valve’s downstream port [11] provide electrical indication to the fire alarm control panel of rising water pressure (the valve has opened) and drop in air (or gas) pressure (one or more sprinklers have burst).
Manual emergency actuation is enabled by opening the emergency manual activation valve [6]. The pre-action valve opens instantly and allows water to flow the pipeline and through any open sprinklers over the protected area
