Fire valve _
Fire valves are essential devices in active fire protection systems. Designed to control and manage the flow of water or other extinguishing agents, they ensure the utmost safety in buildings and industrial plants. Their reliability and accuracy are critical to an effective response in emergency situations.
Fire valve operation
Fire valves regulate the passage of fluids inside the extinguishing systems. Their opening and closing mechanism can be activated manually, automatically or in combination with fire detection systems.
- Manual activation: operated by qualified personnel using levers or steering wheels.
- Automatic activation: integrated with temperature or pressure sensors that activate the valve when a predetermined threshold is exceeded.
- Combined systems: they work both manually and automatically to ensure greater safety.
Once activated, the valves allow the flow of extinguishing agent (water, foam or inert gas) to the areas affected by the fire, ensuring rapid and effective intervention.
Fire valves may vary depending on their function and the type of system in which they are installed. The main types include:
Control valves: They regulate the pressure and flow of water in fire-fighting systems.
Alarm valves: They activate an audible or visual signal in the event of an emergency.
Non-return valves: They prevent the backflow of fluid to keep the system under pressure.
Deluge valves: Used in deluge systems, they allow the immediate release of large quantities of extinguishing agent.
Pressure relief valves: They keep the water pressure within safe levels to avoid damage to the system.
