Single Interlock Preaction Systems Electric Shown Single interlock preaction Systems are used to protect areas where there is danger of serious water damage that might result from damaged automatic sprinklers or piping. Typically, such areas include computer rooms, storage areas for valuable artifacts, libraries and archives. Also, preaction systems are effectively used to protect properties where a prealarm of a possible fire condition may allow time for fire extinguishment by alternate suppression means, prior to a sprinkler discharge. In the event the fire cannot otherwise be extinguished,...

Dluge Valve & Dluge Systems Electric Shown The "d驩luge valve" is the automatic water control valve that is used to control water flow into deluge, preaction, and special types of fire protection systems in response to a fire. Deluge fire protection systems are normally used in special hazard installations where an entire area application of water is required for protection. Typical applications may include flammable liquid handling and storage areas, aircraft hangars, and other high- hazard installations where water is the most effective extinguishing agent. Deluge systems employ open sprinklers...
