700E Type 3 Electrically-Controlled, PORV-Activated, Deluge Valve

Operation
The BERMAD Model 700E Type 3 is suited for those cases, such as sea water installations, where it is
advantageous to keep the solenoid pilot valve ➊ dry. These systems include open nozzles and an electric fire
detection system.
The 700E Type 3 is held closed by pressure applied to the upper chamber of the main valve ➋. The closed valve
prevents the water or water-foam from entering the system until the pressure is released from the upper chamber.
In the SET condition, the water pressure, supplied through the priming line ➌, is trapped in the main valve's upper
chamber. The water pressure is held by a check valve ➍ and a normally closed PORV ➎ (Pressure-Operated
Relief Valve) pilot valve . The PORV is held closed by the maintained pneumatic pressure and normally closed
solenoid valve. The trapped pressure holds the seal-disk of the main valve to the valve seat ➏. Sealing is drip-
tight and keeps the system piping dry.
In a FIRE or TEST condition, an electric detection system, through a control panel, trips the 700E Type 3 deluge
valve. The deluge valve releases water from the upper chamber, either by the opened PORV or by the manual
release ➐. The PORV is opened by the electrically controlled solenoid pilot valve, releasing trapped pneumatic
pressure from the PORV. Water exits the accelerator ➑ faster than it can be supplied to the upper chamber,
allowing the main valve to open and water to flow into the system piping and to the alarm device.
For information on installation and maintenance, see BERMAD publication "700 Type 3 - IOM".
