Flexible Discharge Bend

 The Flexible Discharge Bend which
connects the valve discharge outlet to the
fixed piping or header manifold.

Flexible Discharge Bend

 The discharge bend will withstand a
pressure of 9000 psi (621 bar).
 Its flexible connection allows for easy
alignment of multiple cylinder banks to
fixed piping.
 Each bend has a built-in check valve that
prevents loss of agent should the system
discharge while any cylinder is removed.

Stainless Steel
Actuation Hose

Stainless Steel Actuation Hose

 The Stainless Steel Actuation Hose is used
to connect the actuation line flared tees
between each agent tank.
 The hose has the same thread, 7/16-20,
as the flared tees.
 The actuation hose allows flexibility
between the rigid actuation piping and the
tank valve.

Manifold
 They enable multiple containers to
be connected to a common pipe
network.
 They may also be used in systems
where main / reserve containers
arrangements are required.

Pressure Bleeder Plug

 The pressure bleeder
plug should be used
to relieve the
pressure in closed
actuation lines. The
plug relieves the
pressure through a
small orifice.

16
 11/17/2017

Pressure
Reducer

Pressure Reducer
 The pressure reducer assembly is required
to restrict the flow of inert-gas agent thus
reducing the agent pressure down stream
of the pressure reducer.
 The pressure reducer assembly contains a
stainless steel orifice plate which is drilled
to the specific size hole required based on
the flow calculation.

17
 11/17/2017

Pressure Reducer
 The orifice plate provides readily visible
orifice identification.
 The pressure reducer assembly is
available in threaded, slip-on, and weld
neck flange.
 All orifice plates must be installed in the
piping system with the orifice
identification information on the tab facing
the pressure inlet side of the system.

Orifice Plate
 Orifice Plate is used to
reducing pressure. Orifice
plate is thin plate with hole in
it. When a gaseous passes
through the orifice, its
pressure builds up slightly
upstream of the orifice, but
as the gaseous is forced to
converge to pass through the
hole, the velocity increases
and the pressure decreases.

18
 11/17/2017

Selector Valve
 Selector valves are used to direct the flow
of inert-gas into a single hazard of a
multiple hazard system.

Selector Valve

 11/17/2017

Pressure Operated
Stackable Actuator
 Pressure operated
stackable actuator is
used to monitor
pressurized gas that
hold in selector valve

Check Valves
 Check Valve is a valve that permits flow in
one direction only.

20
 11/17/2017

Header Safety

Header Safety
 The header safety is a device used to
relieve high pressure build-up in a closed
section of piping. If actuation pressure
should get inadvertently trapped and
should an increase in temperature cause
the pressure to rise to a dangerous level,
the burst disc in the header safety will
rupture, allowing the pressure to escape.

21
 11/17/2017

Header Vent Plug

Header Vent Plug

 The header vent plug is used to release
low pressure build-up that may occur in a
closed system utilizing selector valves or
check valves.
 The header vent plug should also be
installed on the cylinder sides of the
check valves on both main and reserve
systems to relieve any pressure that may
leak past the check valve and accidentally
actuate the reserve system while the
main system is discharging.

22
 11/17/2017

Nozzle 360o
Nozzle
 Discharge nozzles are designed
to direct the discharge of the
agent using the stored pressure
from the cylinders.
 The system design specifies the
orifice size to be used for proper
flow rate and distribution
pattern. 180o
Nozzle
 The nozzle selection depends on
the hazard and location to be
protected.
 The 180° nozzle is commonly
used when nozzle placement is
at the wall.

Nozzle Deflector Shield

 The inert-gas system
nozzle deflector shield is
used to control the
pattern of the discharge of
the inert-gas agent.
 The deflector shield helps
keep the agent discharge
away from false ceiling
tiles and fragile light
fixtures, avoiding damage
to them.

23
 11/17/2017

Pressure Switch
 The pressure switch is operated by the
inert-gas agent pressure when the system
is discharged.
 The pressure switch can be used to open
or close electrical circuits to either shut
down equipment or turn on lights or
alarms.
 A 1/4 in. NPT pressure inlet is used to
connect the 1/4 in. pipe from the the
inert-gas system.

Pressure Switch

24
 11/17/2017

Pressure Operate Siren

 The pressure operated
siren is used to warn
personnel of a system
discharge.
 The siren will operate at
the start of the discharge
and will continue through
most of the discharge
time. The minimum decibel
level at 10 ft. (3 m) is 90
dB.

 To avoid unwanted discharge of a clean
agent system, a supervised disconnect
switch shall be provided.
 The disconnect switch shall interrupt the

Determine Pilot Cylinder

Requirements
 The pilot cylinder
requirements identified
on the “Pilot Cylinder
Requirements Table”
allows pressure from the
electric actuator to
operate as many pilot
cylinders as necessary to
assure that the manifold
reaches a pressure high
enough to open all
cylinders attached to
manifold.

Step 12:
Determine Nozzle Quantity
Room 1
Archive Room (A) L = 10ft ÷ 32ft = 0.3125 ≈ 1
W = 10ft ÷ 32ft = 0.3125 ≈ 1
Nozzle = 1 x 1 = 1
Room 2
Gasoline Storage (B) L = 20ft ÷ 32ft = 0.625 ≈ 1
W = 10ft ÷ 32ft = 0.3125 ≈ 1
Nozzle = 1 x 1 = 1
Room 3
Electrical Room (C) L = 20ft ÷ 32ft = 0.625 ≈ 1
W = 20ft ÷ 32ft = 0.625 ≈ 1
Nozzle = 1 x 1 = 1
