FM-086G-0-15E
4. General Description
There are several types of deluge systems, but all of
them use open type sprinklers and / or spray nozzles in
the sprinkler piping which totally flood an area with
pressurized water. A detection network is used in parallel
with the open type sprinkler / nozzles system. This
network may be hydraulic, pneumatic or electric and may
be actuated by manual, fixed temperature, rate-of-rise
temperature, smoke or other means. When the detection
system operates it gives an alarm and activates the
deluge valve. Because deluge systems are often used in
extra-hazard occupancies, electrical and pneumatic
detection systems are by far the most common.
The T OTAL P AC 2 integrated fire protection system by
FireFlex Systems Inc. consists of a deluge system trim
totally pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested. All
electrical and mechanical components of the system are
contained in one single unit.
Note: Skid units include the trim components only and
must be wired by the installing contractor.
The only connections required for installation are the
water supply inlet, water discharge outlet, main drain, and
the electrical detection and alarm connections. The
discharge outlet is connected to a fixed piping system of
open sprinklers and or nozzles. Water is the
extinguishing agent.
Deluge systems are usually supervised. The T OTAL P AC 2
system is supervised in order to monitor its integrity. The
electrical detectors and associated wiring are also
supervised.
The most common applications are protection of extra-
hazard occupancies by creating a fire buffer zone or by
cooling surfaces to prevent deformation or structural
collapse. Examples storage or process areas containing
substances having a low flash point; areas in which fire
may spread rapidly; tanks containing combustible
solutions, transformers, equipment pits or product
handling systems.
Systems should be designed by qualified fire-protection
engineers in conjunction with the appropriate Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
Note: Each T OTAL P AC 2 Unit is identified with it's unique
Serial Number. This number is located on a sticker
inside the main door panel and is used to maintain a
record in our computerized data base. Have this Serial
Number handy when calling for information on your unit
(format is TOT##### or TOTS#### for skids).

6. Configurations Description
A Deluge system is a fixed fire-protection system which
totally floods an area with pressurized water through a
system piping of open nozzles or sprinklers. The system
piping is empty until the Deluge Valve is activated by a
hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or manual release system.
T OTAL P AC 2 Deluge systems are built around the Viking EZ-
Trim™ using Deluge Valves Model E-3 for 1½" (40 mm)
diameter (Model E-4 is the Halar
®
Coated version for use in
corrosive environments) or Model E-1 for 2" (50 mm)
diameter and up (Model E-2 is the Halar
®
Coated version for
use in corrosive environments).
All the valves are rated up to a maximum of 250 psi WWP
(1724 kPa) and are available in the following diameters

T OTAL P AC 2 Deluge systems are supplied with flange–groove
Deluge Valves. Units with flange–flange Deluge Valves are
also available on request.
7. Release Systems
7a Hydraulic Release. Hydraulic ally controlled Deluge
systems require a hydraulic release system, equipped with
fixed temperature releases, and/or pilot heads.
In fire conditions, operation of a releasing device on the
hydraulic release system opens the Deluge Valve, allowing
water to enter the system piping. Water will flow from any
open sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the system.
7b Pneumatic Release. Pneumatically controlled deluge
systems require a pneumatic release system, equipped with
fixed temperature releases, and/or pilot heads.
Release trim, for pneumatically controlled deluge systems
utilize a Pneumatic Actuator (F3) normally held closed by
pressure maintained in the pneumatic release system.
Note: The air supply for the pneumatic release piping
system must be provided by the contractor and installed
outside the T OTAL P AC 2 unit. The air supply must be
restricted to ensure that the automatic air supply cannot
replace air as fast as it escapes when a releasing device or
sprinkler operates. It is also recommended to provide
Inspectors Test Connections on both the release system
and the sprinkler system.
In fire conditions, operation of the pneumatic release system
opens the Deluge Valve, allowing water to enter the system
piping. Water will flow from any open sprinklers and/or spray
nozzles on the system.
7c lectric Release. Electrically controlled deluge systems
require an electric Solenoid Valve (F1) controlled by an
approved System Control Panel with compatible detection
devices (if provided with this system, see Controls Section for
details).
In fire condition, when the detection condition is satisfied the
system Control Panel energizes the Solenoid Valve (F.1)
open, causing the Deluge Valve (A1) to open allowing water
to enter the system piping. Water will flow from any open
sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the system.

fDeluge systems with Hydraulic Release:
.a Alarm Pressure Switch (C1) should activate when
pressurized to 4 to 8 psi (27 to 55 kPa) on pressure
rise. Alarm Pressure Switch (C1) is factory wired to
activate the water flow alarm.
.b Release system piping must not exceed the maximum
elevation allowed for hydraulic release piping above
the Deluge Valve. Refer to technical Data for the
hydraulically operated Deluge Valve used.
.c The water supply to the hydraulic release system must
include a restricted orifice (B3) to ensure that the
priming line cannot replace hydraulic pressure as fast
as it escapes when a releasing device operates.
1.4 System Operation
1.4.1 In the SET condition:
System water supply pressure enters the priming chamber of
the Deluge Valve (A1) through the priming line which
includes a normally open priming valve (B1), strainer (B2),
restricted orifice (B3) and spring loaded check valve (B4) and
the normally open P.S.O.V. (B9).
fHydraulic Release System: In the SET condition, water
supply pressure is trapped in the priming chamber and
hydraulic release piping by a spring loaded check valve
(B4) and closed releasing devices. The pressure in the
priming chamber holds the Deluge Valve clapper closed,
keeping the outlet chamber and system piping dry.
fPneumatic release System: In the SET condition, water
supply pressure is trapped in the priming chamber by a
spring loaded check valve (B4) and Pneumatic Actuator
(F3). Pneumatic Actuator is held closed by pressure
maintained in the pneumatic release system. The
pressure in the priming chamber holds the Deluge Valve
clapper closed, keeping the outlet chamber and system
piping dry.
fElectric Release System: System water supply pressure
enters the priming chamber of the Deluge Valve. In the
SET condition, water supply pressure is trapped in the
priming chamber by a spring loaded check valve (B4) and
normally closed Solenoid valve (F1). The pressure in the
priming chamber holds the Deluge Valve clapper closed,
keeping the outlet chamber and system piping dry.
1.4.2 In a fire condition:
fHydraulic Release System: When a releasing device
operates, water pressure in the hydraulic release system
escapes.
fPneumatic release System: When a releasing device
operates, pressure in the pneumatic release system
escapes causing the Pneumatic Actuator (F3) to open.
fElectric Release System: When the detection system
operates, system Control Panel activates an alarm and
energizes normally closed Solenoid valve (F1) to open.
Pressure is released from the priming chamber to the open
drain manifold faster than it is supplied through the restricted
orifice (B3). The Deluge Valve clapper opens to allow water
to flow into the system piping and alarm devices, causing the
optional Water Motor Alarm (C2) and water flow alarms
connected to the Alarm Pressure Switch (C1) to activate
Water will flow from all the open sprinklers and/or nozzles in
the system.
When the deluge valve operates, the sensing end of the
PSOV (B9) is pressurized, causing the PSOV to close.
When the PSOV closes, it shuts off the flow of the priming
water pressure to the priming chamber, preventing the
Deluge Valve (A1) from resetting, even if the open releasing
devices close. The Deluge Valve can only be reset after the
system is taken out of service, and the outlet chamber of the
deluge valve and associated trim piping is depressurized and
drained.
1.4.3 Manual operation:
Anytime the handle of the Emergency Release (B10) is
pulled, pressure is released from the priming chamber;
Deluge Valve (A1) will open. Water will flow from any open
sprinklers and/or other opening in the sprinkler piping and
alarm devices (C1 & C2) will operate.
1.4.4 Trouble conditions:
fHydraulic Release System: If the release system operates
due to mechanical damage or malfunction, the Deluge
Valve will open and water will flow from any open
sprinklers and/or other opening in the sprinkler piping.
fPneumatic Release Systems: In the event of an air
supply failure and slow leakage of air from the pneumatic
release system, alarms connected to Air Supervisory
Switch (E3) will signal a low air pressure condition.
Failure to restore air supply to the pneumatic release
system will result in the operation of the Pneumatic
Actuator (F3). Pressure is released from the priming
chamber faster than it is supplied through the Restricted
Orifice (B3).
fElectric Release controlled Deluge Systems: If the release
system operates due to mechanical damage or
malfunction, the Deluge Valve (A1) will open and water
will flow from any open sprinklers and/or other opening in
the sprinkler piping.

1.8 MAINTENANCE
Note: The owner is responsible for maintaining the fire
protection system and devices in proper operating
condition.
Refer to MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS provided in
current Viking Technical Data describing individual
components of the Viking Preaction System used.
Where difficulty in performance is experienced, the valve
manufacturer or his authorized representative shall be
contacted if any field adjustment is to be made.
The following requirements are based upon NFPA-25:
Records.
Records of inspections, tests, and maintenance of the
system and its components shall be made available to the
authority having jurisdiction upon request. Typical records
include, but are not limited to, valve inspections; flow, drain,
and pump tests; and trip tests of dry pipe, deluge, and
preaction valves.
Acceptance test records should be retained for the life of the
system or its special components. Subsequent test records
should be retained for a period of 1 year after the next test.
The comparison determines deterioration of system
performance or condition and the need for further testing or
maintenance.
Monthly:
.1 Inspection of gauges (water supply and system
pressure) to ensure good condition and normal water
supply pressure.
.2 Control valve shall be externally inspected. The valve
inspection shall verify the following:
.a The gauges indicate that normal supply water
pressure is being maintained.
.b The valve is free of physical damage.
.c All valves are in the appropriate open or closed
position.
.d There is no leakage from the alarm drains.
Quarterly:
.1 Alarm Device (pressure or flow switch). (Testing by
opening the inspector's test connection).
.2 Full flow trip test: (isolation valve perfect for special
site condition such as freezing condition) to determine
if change in water supply or control valve position.
Semi-Annually:
.1 Valve supervisory switch shall be tested to verify the
operation of the switch upon movement of the hand
wheel.
Annually:
.1 Manual Pull station test
.2 Full trip test: Isolation valve perfect for special site
condition such as freezing condition .
.3 Deluge system shall also be tested for flow pattern.
.4 Record indicating the date of the last trip, tripping time
and name of organization conducting the test shall be
maintain at a location available for review by the
Authority having Jurisdiction.
Every 5 years:
.1 Test on gauge (gauge precision required: less than
3% of the full scale)
.2 Test on control valves operation.
.3 Main drain test.

2- System with Hydraulic Release
1. Description
The TOTALPAC2System with the Viking Deluge Trim utilizes
a Viking Deluge valve (A1) to control water flow into system
piping equipped with open sprinklers and/or spray nozzles.
The system piping remains empty until the Deluge Valve is
activated by operation of the release system.
Hydraulically controlled deluge systems require a hydraulic
release system, equipped with thermostatic (rate-of-rise)
releases, and/or fixed temperature releases and/or pilot
heads.
Deluge systems are designed so the Deluge valve will
open when a detector on the hydraulic release system
operates. When the Deluge Valve opens, water will flow
into the sprinkler piping and out of any open sprinklers,
open spray nozzles and any opening on the system.
Deluge TOTALPAC2Systems are commonly used where it is
desirable to simultaneously spray water from all open
sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the system when the
system operates.
2. Normal condition

3- System with Pneumatic Release
1. Description
The TOTALPAC2System with the Viking Deluge Trim utilizes
a Viking Deluge valve (A1) to control water flow into system
piping equipped with open sprinklers and/or spray nozzles.
The system piping remains empty until the Deluge Valve is
activated by operation of the release system.
Pneumatically controlled deluge systems require a pneumatic
release system, equipped with fixed temperature releases
and/or pilot heads.Release trim, for pneumatically controlled
deluge systems utilize a Pneumatic Actuator (F3) normally
held closed by pressure maintained in the pneumatic release
system.
Deluge systems are designed so the Deluge valve will
open when a detector on the pneumatic release system
operates. When the Deluge Valve opens, water will flow
into the sprinkler piping and out of sprinklers and any
opening on the system.
Note: The air supply for the pneumatic release piping
system must be provided by the contractor and installed
outside the TOTALPAC2cabinet. The air supply must be
restricted to ensure that the automatic air supply cannot
replace air as fast as it escapes when a releasing device
operates. It is also recommended to provide Inspectors
Test Connections on both the release system and the
sprinkler system.
Deluge TOTALPAC2Systems are commonly used where it is
desirable to simultaneously spray water from all open
sprinklers and/or spray nozzles on the system when the
system operates.
