commissioning of the Pre action Sprinkler system. The philosophy of the system is as follows:
a. Contractor shall ensure Hydro Testing for the complete system.
b. Contractor to submit hydraulic calculation for the piping system
Double interlock pre action systems are designed for applications in critical room that require the
maximum degree of protection against an inadvertent operation that could result in unnecessary
flooding of the sprinkler system piping. The double interlock system consists of a deluge valve
and swing check valve with releasing trim featuring both a solenoid valve and a dry pilot actuator
in a series configuration. The swing check valve isolates the body of the deluge valve from the
system air or nitrogen pressure that holds the dry pilot actuator closed. The solenoid valve remains
closed until it is electrically energized by a deluge releasing panel that responds to the operation
of a fire detection device.
In order to actuate the double interlock pre action system, two independent events, caused by a
fire condition, must occur. The sprinkler system piping must lose air or nitrogen pressure due to
the operation of one or more sprinklers, and the deluge releasing panel must energize and open
the solenoid valve upon the operation of a fire detection device.
