20160129291 | GAS PURGING VALVE FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM - A gas purging valve is operative to be connected to piping in a Fire Protection System (FPS) and to bleed gas at a predetermined rate. The valve includes an inlet in gas flow relationship with the FPS piping and a central passage in gas flow relationship with the inlet. The valve also includes a calibrated orifice removeably disposed in the central passage, in gas flow relationship with the passage and operative to allow a maximum predetermined gas flow rate therethrough. The valve further includes an outlet in gas flow relationship with the calibrated orifice. A ball is disposed upstream of the central passage. The ball is operative to allow gas flow through the gas purging valve but operative to impede the flow of water through the gas purging valve. | 05-12-2016 |

20100263882 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM CORROSION MITIGATION - An inert gas Fire Protection System (FPS) uses an inert gas rather than air in a dry or pre-action type FPS. The inert gas inhibits oxidation, galvanic corrosion, and/or bacterial growth, and hence mitigates Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and galvanic corrosion in the FPS piping. A zone purging valve, which may include a gas purity analyzer, is disposed at the end of each zone in the FPS. A controller over-pressurizes the FPS with inert gas, and bleeds the gas through the zone purging valves to a predetermined supervisory pressure. The pressurize/purge cycle is repeated to ensure inert gas of a predetermined purity level reaches all areas within the FPS. The purity of the inert gas is periodically measured in bleed operations. The inert gas may comprise Nitrogen, which additionally dries out residual water in the FPS due to a low dew point, further inhibiting MIC. | 10-21-2010 |
20140048290 | Deoxygenated Water Fill for Fire Protection System - To prevent corrosion, the pipes of a wet fire protection system (FPS) are purged of atmospheric oxygen by displacing in the pipes with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, prior to filling the pipes with water. After oxygen is purged from the pipes, they are filled with deoxygenated water which contains an O2 concentration of 500 ppb or less. The lack of dissolved oxygen in the deoxygenated water prevents O2 molecules from outgassing from the water into spaces within the pipe containing N2 gas. The dearth of oxygen in the system provides long-term corrosion inhibition. Oxygen may be purged from water by exposing the water to an inert gas (such as N2) having a sufficiently low O2 concentration. | 02-20-2014 |
20140246103 | GAS PURGING VALVE FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM - A gas purging valve is operative to be connected to piping in a Fire Protection System (FPS) and to bleed gas at a predetermined rate. The valve includes an inlet in gas flow relationship with the FPS piping and a central passage in gas flow relationship with the inlet. The valve also includes a calibrated orifice removeably disposed in the central passage, in gas flow relationship with the passage and operative to allow a maximum predetermined gas flow rate therethrough. The valve further includes an outlet in gas flow relationship with the calibrated orifice. A ball is disposed upstream of the central passage. The ball is operative to allow gas flow through the gas purging valve but operative to impede the flow of water through the gas purging valve. | 09-04-2014 |
20150151151 | Dynamic Deoxygenation of Water for Fire Protection System - A corrosion prevention treatment of wet Fire Protection System (FPS) includes purging the pipes of O2 with an inert gas such as N2, followed by filling the pipes with deoxygenated water generated “on the fly” as the water enters a building, using one or more Gas Transfer Membrane (GTM) devices and N2 gas. The GTM device eliminates the need for a water reuse tank and its associated pipes, valves, recirculation regimen, and the like. Water is pumped directly from the building water supply to a GTM device, where it is deoxygenated to very low O2 levels—such as below 300 ppb (parts per billion). The deoxygenated water then flows directly into the O2-purged pipes of the FPS. When the FPS is drained for testing or repair, the deoxygenated water may be discharged, and replaced, upon return to service of the FPS, with water freshly deoxygenated from the building supply as the FPS piping is filled. | 06-04-2015 |
