System Operation
To fully operate a Single Interlock Preaction System, two
independent events must coexist before water flow will oc-
cur. One electrical detector (two detectors in a cross-zoned
system) must activate and a sprinkler head must open. Op-
eration of either one of these items will only cause an alarm
to annunciate, but will not cause water to discharge from the
sprinkler system piping.
When set correctly for service, the Model DDX Deluge
Valve is hydraulically established to withhold the supply
water from the sprinkler system piping. The Reliable Model
DDX Deluge Valve is shown in both the closed and open
positions in Fig.1. In the closed position, the supply pres-
sure acts on the underside of the clapper and also on the
push rod through the push rod chamber’s inlet restriction.
The resultant force due to the supply pressure acting on the
push rod is multiplied by the mechanical advantage of the
lever and is more than sufficient to hold the clapper closed
against normal supply pressure surges.
When a fire is detected, the energized solenoid valve vents
the push rod chamber to atmosphere through the chamber’s
outlet. Since the pressure cannot be replenished through
the inlet restriction as rapidly as it is vented, the push rod
chamber pressure falls instantaneously. When the push rod
chamber pressure approaches approximately one-third of
the supply pressure, the upward force of the supply pres-
sure acting beneath the clapper overcomes the lever-ap-
plied force thereby opening the clapper.
