General Description
The I nbal Pr e s s ur e Cont r ol ,
Hydraulically Actuated Deluge Valve is
specifically designed for use in fire
protection systems which require
pressure control, actuated by a detection
and release system of wet pilot sprinklers
and/or hydraulic manual control. The
Inbal Valve, when in operation,
automatically reduce a higher inlet
pressure to a preset delivery pressure
which remains steady and unattached by
the variations or fluctuations in the
pressure inlet line.
The I nbal Pr e s s ur e Cont r ol ,
Hydraulically Actuated Deluge Valve is
used for automatic or manual hydraulic
operation. The wet pilot line functions as
a thermal detector equipped with fixed
temperature release. When one or more
of the sprinkler heads located on the pilot
line fuses, or when a manual release
station is operated locally or remotely,
the Inbal Deluge Valve opens to allow
water to flow from all open sprinklers
and/or nozzles on the system.
While the valve operates, the deluge
system pressure is maintained at the
preset level within a narrow range. If the
downstream pressure changes slightly
the pilot control responds immediately to
modulate the Inbal Valve for the preset
pressure.
The use of the Inbal Pressure Control
Deluge Valve balances the distribution of
the water capacity available, throughout
the system and prevents a higher demand
from the areas which are of lower
altitude or are located closer to the
pressure source. Thus, the total system
demand is balanced and the excess flow
through the system with high pressure
water supplies is reduced to the desired
level. The adjustment of the valve's
delivery pressure can be easily modified
at the site.
Standard material Inbal Pressure
Control Deluge Valves are rated to 300
psi (21 bar) and are available in sizes 1"
(40 mm) to 12" (300 mm) with threaded,
flanged, grooved, or wafer ends.
The only moving part in the Inbal Valve,
when it operates, is the reinforced sleeve
which forms a drip tight seal with the
corrosion resistant core. It has a smooth
opening to prevent any water hammer in
the piping system .
The unique design of the Inbal Valve and
the pilot control, and variety of materials
and coatings, make the Inbal Pressure
Control Deluge Valve suitable for use
with brackish or sea water similar to
t hos e f ound i n chemi cal and
petrochemical facilities or in offshore
platforms.

Operation
The Control Chamber of the Inbal
Automatic Water Control Valve is the
annular space between the Valve
Housing and the Sleeve. The valve is
held in a closed position as long as inlet
pressure is maintained in the Control
Chamber.
The wet pilot line, equipped with closed
sprinkler heads, is pressurized through
the valve trim and located over the
protected area. The wet pilot line serves
the dual purpose of thermal detection and
release system.
In the set position, water pressure is
applied to the Control Chamber of the
Inbal Deluge Valve and to the hydraulic
release system from the upstream of the
Water Supply Valve. Consequently, the
Inbal Deluge Valve stays closed.
The Inbal Deluge Valve opens when one
or more of the sprinkler heads installed
on the wet pilot line fuses and water
pressure is allowed to escape, or when a
hydraulic manual release opens.
Either one of these operations releases
water from the Deluge Pilot Valve which
opens to release water from the Inbal
Valve Control Chamber. The flow
through the Pressure Reducing Pilot
Valve responds to changes in the
downstream pressure while controlling
the pressure at the Inbal Valve Control
Chamber. When the delivery pressure
decreases, the pilot valve and the Inbal
Valve open wider to increase the
pressure. When the delivery pressure
increases, the pilot valve and the Inbal
Valve close to throttle further the flow

and consequently the delivery pressure is
decreased. Thus, the outlet pressure is
maintained within a close limit. The
operation of the Inbal Deluge Valve will
flow water from any open sprinklers
and/or spray nozzles on the system while
activating the system's alarm devices.
Once the Deluge Pilot Valve operates, it
latches in an open position, preventing
the Inbal Pressure Control deluge Valve
from closing even if the open releasing
wet pilot line closes. The Inbal Valve
will close only when the Resetting
procedure is followed.
The Deluge Pilot Valve spring tension is
adjusted to open wide when the wet pilot
line operates and to be in a drip tight
closed position when the wet pilot line is
reset.
The Emergency Release Valve is used
for emergency actuation of the Inbal
Deluge Valve and for routine testing.

Automatic Water Control Valve
Series 700D
F02-01-01
General Description
The Inbal Automatic Water Control
Valve series 700D is a pressure operated,
sleeve actuated, axial valve, designed
from basic concepts, with a built-in
actuator to function as control valve in
fire protection system. The Inbal series
700D is used as deluge, preaction, dry
pipe, remote control, pressure reducing,
pressure relief, pump control, water level
control, and other types of control
valves. The standard material Inbal
Valve is rated to 300 psi (21 bar) and
requires a minimum line pressure of 20
psi (1.5 bar) for operation. Upon removal
of the control pressure the Inbal Valve
opens instantaneously, yet very
smoothly, to prevent any water hammer
in the piping system. The Inbal 700D
performance and ease of resetting are not
affected by vertical or horizontal
installation.
The Inbal Automatic Water Control
Valve utilizes the unique N.M.M.P. (No
Moving Mechanical Parts) design. The
only moving part when the Inbal Valve
operates, is the reinforced sleeve which
forms a drip-tight seal with the corrosion
resistant core. The Inbal design also
prevents false operation due to transient
surges in water supply pressure. The
N.M.M.P. design and variety of mater-
ials and coatings make the Inbal Auto-
matic Water Control Valve ideally
suitable for use with brackish or sea
water similar to those found in chemical
and petrochemical facilities or in
offshore platforms. It can also be used as
a foam concentrate control valve in
foam/water systems.
The Inbal Automatic Water Control
Valve series 700D is available in sizes
1" (40 mm) to 12" (300 mm). The
valves have threaded, flanged, or wafer
inlet and outlet ends.

Full open operation
When pressure in the Control Chamber is
relieved to the atmosphere, the Inbal
Valve opens wide. The sleeve assembly
is safely enveloped by the housing.
Tight closing operation
When pressure from the valve inlet (or an
equivalent independent operating
pressure) is applied to the Control
Chamber, the Inbal Valve closes drip
tight. The fabric sleeve safely envelopes
the resilient sleeve giving full support.
Modulating action
A stable throttling position is obtained
when a quantity of pressurized fluid is
held in the Control Chamber. It is the
amount of fluid in the Control Chamber
that determines the position of the sleeve
assembly. The Control Chamber can be
alternately filled or exhausted to achieve
the desired operating condition.
