Do you have a question about the Tyco DN40 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Tyco DV-5 Deluge Valve is a diaphragm-style automatic water control valve designed for use in deluge fire protection systems. When properly trimmed, these valves can also actuate fire alarms upon system operation.
The DV-5 Deluge Valve operates based on water pressure within its diaphragm chamber. When the valve is set for service, this chamber is pressurized via trim connections from the inlet side of the system's stop valve. This pressure holds the diaphragm closed against the water supply pressure. Actuation occurs when a detection device (e.g., a solenoid valve in an electric actuation trim or a wet pilot sprinkler) opens, releasing water from the diaphragm chamber. This release happens faster than water can be replenished through a 3.2 mm restriction within the Automatic Shut-Off Valve (ASV-1) in the diaphragm chamber supply connection. The rapid pressure drop in the diaphragm chamber reduces the force holding the diaphragm closed, allowing the water supply pressure to force the diaphragm open. This permits water to flow into the system piping and through the alarm port to actuate system alarms.
