Indirect Low Pressure - ILP System Unit

Product Description & Principle of Operation

Parekh Fire ILP- Indirect Low-Pressure Clean Agent Systems are primarily Pre-Engineered Automatic Fire detection and suppression System utilising various Low-pressure agents like, ABC Dry Chemical Powder, Foam, Clean agents (HFC227ea, FK 5-1-12, FE36). These Units are designed, manufactured, and tested in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities

Parekh Fire Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tubing (FDT) is installed and connected to ILP Valve via dual seal threaded union attached to the isolation ball valve and routed over/near the protected hazard area/enclosure. Being heat sensitive, the primary function of Linear Pneumatic Fire Detection Tube (under pressure) is to detect heat/fire and activate the valve for discharge of the agent by rupturing at the hottest point along its installed length on flame impingement. On rupture due to loss of pressure in the tube connected to the valve, the pressure from the top head assembly of the ILP valve is released (this can also be achieved by manual activation via operating manual release) thereby initiating internal piston to open position, allowing the pressurised agent to travel through any or combination of three outlet ports via delivery hose/pipes and discharge out from the fixed nozzles, within the protected area, flooding the entire area with the agent and suppressing the fire instantly.

Each ILP system consists of a High-Grade Stainless-Steel Indirect valve with three standard detection 1/8” ports (SV,P/s or P/g etc.), and three 3/8” discharge ports, SS siphon tube, integrated pressure gauge embedded in the valve body for extra protection to monitor cylinder pressure, and a quarter turn isolation valve with provision to interface with the AutoFireX Fire Detection Tubing, a PRD (Pressure Relief Device) tested to 44Bar is also provided. The systems is supplied complete with CE Cylinders and Brackets with appropriate agents, as required.

To assist in annunciation, an optional pressure switch can be installed at one of the ports on valve or at the end of the detection line using a End of Line Adaptor, also available with the system. The pressure switch provides a potential free contact, that can be interfaced, with existing FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) to indicate system discharge, shutdown ventilation, shut-off electrical power, as may be required. Alternatively, it can also be connected to an Audio Visual (A/V) alarm unit for annunciation.

As the system is Pre- Engineered (refer our Design Installation manual), therefore, when the discharge piping and nozzles are installed within the limitations stated in the manual no complex hydraulic calculations are required to determine pressure drop, agent flow, or discharge time etc.

*Figures based on ideal conditions in fully enclosed space. Actual figures may vary according to application.

Maximum volume coverage is determined by agent concentration discharged within the enclosure where the fire hazard is located. The discharge time for DLP system utilising various agents differ from agent to agent and capacity of the cylinder.
