DATA SHEET
SELECTOR VALVES SVDXXX
Description
Used to protect several risks at once with a single cylinder bank or modular cylinder. In a FK-5-1-12 system
two or more selector valves can be used to protect two or more hazard areas. When a fire starts in one of
the hazard areas, the corresponding selector valve would open and discharge all or part of the
extinguishing agent stored in the cylinders.
When selector valves are opted for, at least one reserve cylinder bank should be installed in order not to
leave the remaining hazards unprotected, in case a second discharge should be required in one of them.
They are fitted directly to the discharge manifold or downstream on a separate manifold.
They consist of a normally closed ball valve, a pneumatic cylinder, a re-assembled electrical and manual
actuator. An electrical signal opens the electrical actuator corresponding to the selector valve of the hazard
to be protected, so that when the nitrogen-filled pilot bottle is actuated, its pressure will be pushed on the
piston of the appropriate valve, causing it to open.
In the event of failure of the electrical actuator or the detection system, the system can be manually
activated using the manual actuator. By activating the manual actuator, pressure from the pilot bottle will
move the pneumatic cylinder causing the selector valve to open.
Due to the dead volume that we eventually have in the selector valves manifold, during agent
discharge, we cannot use a selector valves manifold bigger than the ratio 0.0833 of the volume of
the pipe network.
