Deluge Valve

Overview

The Deluge Valve is a normally closed control valve designed for use in deluge fire protection systems. It operates through electric, pneumatic, or manual actuation to rapidly release water into open sprinkler or spray nozzles when a fire is detected.

Featuring a straight-through cone diaphragm sealing structure, the valve provides reliable self-sealing performance, fast response, and stable operation. Once activated, the valve opens automatically, allowing water to flow in one direction into the system while simultaneously initiating alarm devices.

Product Description

The Deluge Valve adopts a straight-through cone diaphragm seal, utilizing the self-sealing characteristics of the cone structure to ensure tight closure under normal conditions.

When pressure in the diaphragm chamber is released by electric, pneumatic, or manual activation, the valve disc opens instantly. Water then flows freely into the downstream fire protection system, supplying sprinklers or spray nozzles and activating alarm devices at the same time.

The valve can be integrated with various detection, control, and alarm components to form multiple types of deluge alarm and firefighting systems. Grooved end connections are available, and the valve may be supplied with or without control valves depending on system requirements.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main function of a deluge valve?

A deluge valve controls the rapid release of water into a fire protection system when activated by a detection or manual control signal.

Q2: How does the deluge valve operate?

The valve remains closed under normal conditions. When pressure in the diaphragm chamber is released through electric, pneumatic, or manual means, the valve opens automatically.

Q3: What type of sealing structure does the valve use?

It uses a straight-through cone diaphragm seal, providing excellent self-sealing and reliable operation.

Q4: Can the valve be supplied with control valves?

Yes. The deluge valve can be ordered with or without control valves depending on system design requirements.

Q5: What systems can this valve be used in?

It is used in deluge systems, spray systems, foam-water systems, and other special fire protection systems requiring rapid water discharge.

Q6: What is the suitable operating environment temperature range?

The valve is designed to operate in environments with ambient temperatures between 4℃ and 52℃.
