Key Features of Deluge Systems

• Immediate Response
  Upon activation, deluge systems discharge a large volume of water over a designated area, providing rapid containment of flames and minimizing damage.
• Open Nozzle Design
  All nozzles are open and do not have a valve, allowing for immediate water flow when the system is activated, making it ideal for high-hazard environments.
• Versatility
  Deluge systems can be used in a variety of applications, particularly in areas where flammable liquids are stored, where there is a high risk of explosion, or in spaces housing critical equipment.
• Highly Effective for Certain Fires
  Particularly effective for fires involving flammable liquids or gases, as the large volume of water can quickly cool and suppress combustion.

Components of Deluge Systems

• Deluge Valve
  A critical component that controls the flow of water to the distribution piping. When triggered, the deluge valve opens, allowing water to flow to all connected nozzles.
• Water Supply
  Requires a reliable and sufficient source of water, often supplemented by fire pumps to maintain adequate pressure and flow.
• Pipe Network
  A network of pipes distributes water to various open nozzles strategically placed over the area to be protected.
• Nozzles
  Open nozzles designed to discharge water in a wide pattern; they can be tailored to deliver the appropriate flow rate based on the specific application.
• Control System
  Integrates with fire alarm systems to detect fire conditions and trigger the deluge valve to activate the water flow.
