Electrically-actuated valve FP-400E-3D-RL

electrically-operatedelectricon/off

Overview
The BERMAD FP-400E-3D-RL deluge valve is designed for remote-controlled and automatic water or foam deluge systems with electric detection and open-nozzle piping. Equipped with two solenoids and a Double-Acting Relay Valve (DRV), the valve opens when the Opening solenoid activates and latches in position; a short pulse to the Closing solenoid coil resets (unlatches) the valve remotely.

Key design points

• Proven, simple design with fail-safe actuation
• Single-piece elastomeric diaphragm seal (VRSD technology)
• Latch-open capability until remote reset
• Obstacle-free, uninterrupted flow path
• Main valve with no mechanical moving parts
• Remote shut-off and reset capability

Performance and maintenance

• Low headloss hydraulic design for improved performance under reduced supply pressure
• High discharge capacity for rapid system activation
• Cost-effective solution for deluge installations
• In-line serviceable design for fast maintenance
• Quick and easy cover removal for access
• Engineered for high reliability and straightforward upkeep

How it operates
The FP-400E-3D-RL uses an electric actuation sequence: the Opening solenoid energizes the DRV to open and latch the main valve; the Closing solenoid receives a brief pulse to remotely unlatch and close the valve. Two solenoids provide remote open/close control while the main valve retains latching behavior.

Typical Applications

• Automatic water spray and deluge systems
• Electrical fire detection systems integrated with control panels
• Hydraulically remote-controlled protection systems
• Petrochemical facilities and processing plants
• Power plants and transformer protection
• Protection of flammable storage areas
