Inbal Valves 700D Series Manuel utilisateur

General Description

The Inbal Deluge Valve with Hydraulic Actuation Trim is

specifically designed for fire protection systems actuated by

a fire detection and release system of wet pilot sprinklers

and/or hydraulic manual control. The Inbal Automatic Water

Control Valve, which is used in this deluge system, is a

pressure operated, sleeve actuated, axial valve designed

for use in fire protection systems.

The Inbal Hydraulically actuated Deluge Valve is used for

automatic or manual operation. The wet pilot line functions

as a thermal detector equipped with a fixed temperature

release. When one or more of the sprinkler heads, located

on the pilot line, fuses, or when a manual release station is

operated locally or remotely, the Inbal Deluge Valve opens

and water flows from all open sprinklers and/or nozzles on

the system. As soon as the releasing system and the

sprinkler piping are reset, the Inbal Deluge Valve resetting is

merely done by activating the reset knob.

The control trim includes all the pilot valves, accessories,

fittings, and gauges to provide for proper operation in either

vertical or horizontal installation. The standard material

Inbal Deluge Valve is rated to 300 psi (21 bar) and is

available in sizes 1½" (40 mm) to 12" (300 mm). The valves

have threaded, flanged, grooved, or wafer inlet and outlet

ends.

The only moving part in the Inbal Deluge Valve, when it

operates, is the reinforced sleeve, which forms a drip-tight

seal with the corrosion resistant core. It has a smooth

opening to prevent any water hammer in the piping system.

The unique design and variety of materials and coatings

make the Inbal Deluge Valve ideally suitable for use in

brackish or sea water, similar to those found in chemical and

petrochemical facilities or in offshore platforms. The Inbal

can also be used as a foam concentrate control valve in

foam/water systems.

The Control Chamber of the Inbal Automatic Water Control

Valve is the annular space between the valve Housing and

the Sleeve. The valve is held in a closed position as long as

inlet pressure is maintained in the Control Chamber.

The wet pilot line, equipped with closed sprinkler heads, is

pressurized through the valve trim and located over the

protected area. The wet pilot line serves the dual purpose of

thermal detection and release system.

In the set position, water pressure is applied to the Control

Chamber of the Inbal Deluge Valve and to the hydraulic

release system from the upstream of the Water Supply

Valve. Consequently, the Inbal Deluge Valve stays closed.

Operation

The Inbal Deluge Valve opens wide when one or more of the

sprinklers installed on the wet pilot line fuses and water

pressure is allowed to vent, or when a hydraulic manual

release opens. Either one of these operations releases

water from the Inbal Control Chamber. The Inbal Deluge

Valve opens fully introducing a flow of water to the system

while activating the system alarm devices. Water will flow

from any open sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the

system. The operation of the Inbal Deluge Valve and the

flow released from the Control Chamber activate the Flow

Release Pilot (F.R.P) to latch in an open position, isolating

the Control Chamber from the inlet water supply. The F.R.P

operation prevents the Inbal Deluge Valve from closing

even if the open releasing wet pilot line closes. The Inbal

Valve will close only when the Resetting procedure is

followed.

The maximum elevations in which the wet pilot sprinklers or

manual release stations can be installed are shown on

Graph (1).They are presented in relation to the various

lengths of pilot lines and to the water supply pressure.

The Emergency Release Valve is used for emergency

actuation of the Inbal Deluge Valve and for routine testing.

Installation

Refer to the Trim Chart applicable to the specific Inbal

Deluge Valve model in use.

1. When the Inbal Deluge Valve is delivered, carefully

unpack and visually check that there has been no

damage to the operating components, piping, and

fittings.

2. Always flush the pipelines before installing the Inbal

Valve.

3. Place the Inbal Valve in the piping at the outlet of the

Water Supply Valve. Verify that the arrow on the valve

Housing matches the actual flow direction. Determine

which side the system will be accessed from and locate

the Inbal Deluge Valve accordingly.

4. Install the Inbal Deluge Valve in the pipeline. Use

gaskets, bolts, stud bolts, bolt sleeves, and nuts as

required by the valve ends.

5. The Control Trim is supplied fully preassembled. Refer to

the applicable Trim Chart and Installation Guide.

6. The water pressure supply to the control trim must

always be sourced from the inlet of the Water Supply

Valve through a ½" pipe.

7. Connect the wet pilot line to the Flow Release Pilot

(F.R.P.). Refer to Graph (1) which shows the maximum

elevations above the Deluge Valve at which the release

line (pilot sprinklers or manual release) should be

installed. An Anti-columning Device is required when the

release line elevation exceeds the figure corresponding

to the minimum water supply system pressure in which

the Inbal Deluge Valve is planned to perform.

8. It is recommended to install an inspector's test valve on

the hydraulic release system. The inspector's test valve

is a locked closed ball valve with an outlet end orifice

equivalent to the smallest orifice of the releasing device

provided on the system. The inspector's test valve may

be used to verify adequate operation of the deluge

system when a releasing device operates.

9. Set the Inbal Deluge Valve by following the Resetting

procedure.

10.Test the Inbal Valve, the trim, and the alarms according

to the Testing procedure.

necessary.

6.Verify that the Emergency Release Valve is in a closed

position.

7.Open the Trim Shutoff Valve. Push and hold the reset

knob on the F.R.P. and allow water pressure to build up in

the trim and in the Inbal Valve Control Chamber. Wait

and verify that the pressure readings on both pressure

gauges are equal.

8.Release the reset knob on the Flow Release Pilot (F.R.P).

9.Close the Flow Test Valve.

10. Fully open the Water Supply Valve. Verify that there is no

flow from the Drain Valve, downstream of the Inbal

Valve.

11. Close the Drain Valve.

It is recommended that periodic inspections and tests be

conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the Inbal

Deluge Valve and related equipment are in good operating

condition. The inspection and testing activities should be

done according to NFPA Standards, the guidelines and

regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction, and the

following instructions. It is recommended that the Deluge

Valve be tested, operated, cleaned, and inspected at least

on a routine basis.

A weekly Inspection is recommended:

1. Verify that the Water Supply Valve is sealed in fully open

position.

2. Verify that the required water pressure is being applied to

the Inbal Deluge Valve inlet and trim.

3. Verify that the Trim Shutoff Valve, Alarm Test Valve,
