What is the function of solenoid valve in the deluge valve?
The solenoid valve in a deluge valve system plays a pivotal role in its operation. It serves as the main control element that initiates the release of water when activated. When the fire detection system detects a fire and sends a signal to the deluge valve, the solenoid valve receives this signal and rapidly switches from its closed to open position. This action allows water to flow freely through the system, activating all sprinkler heads simultaneously and flooding the protected area with water. The solenoid valve's rapid response and reliable performance are crucial for the effectiveness of the deluge system in quickly suppressing fires.
