  • Patent number: 10765899
    Abstract: An alarm valve station includes a fire extinguishing system valve (1) having a housing (2, 3) which has a fluid inlet chamber (8), a fluid outlet chamber (9) and a closing body (4a) reciprocable between a blocking state and a release state, wherein the fluid inlet chamber (8) and the fluid outlet chamber (9) are separated from each other in the blocking state and communicate with each other in fluid-conducting relationship in the release state, one or more sensors, and an electronic evaluation unit (50) which is integrated in the housing (2, 3), arranged externally on the housing or arranged in the proximity of the fire extinguishing system valve (1), wherein the evaluation unit (50) is connected in signal-conducting relationship to the sensor or sensors for receiving data, is adapted for data processing into: state information and/or operating instructions and is adapted to transmit the state information and/or operating instructions to a display unit (40).
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190388718
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fire extinguishing system valve (1), in particular a wet alarm valve, dry alarm valve or spray water valve, comprising a housing (2, 3) which has a fluid inlet chamber (8), a fluid outlet chamber (9) and a closing body (4a) which is movable to and fro between a blocking state and a release state, wherein, in the release state, the fluid inlet chamber (8) and the fluid outlet chamber (9) communicate with each other directly in a fluid-conducting manner, and, in the blocking state, the closing body (4a) prevents the direct communication between the fluid inlet chamber (8) and the fluid outlet chamber (9) characterized by a bypass line (10) which is integrated in the housing and is connected to the fluid inlet chamber (8) and the fluid outlet chamber (9) in a fluid-conducting manner.

  • Patent number: 10441833
    Abstract: An alarm valve station (80) of a fire extinguishing system (100) includes a fire extinguishing system valve (1) having a housing (2, 3) which has a fluid inlet chamber (8), a fluid outlet chamber (9) and a closing body (4a) reciprocable between a blocking state and a release state, wherein the fluid inlet chamber (8) and the fluid outlet chamber (9) are separated from each other in the blocking state and communicate with each other in fluid-conducting relationship in the release state. In particular it is proposed that the evaluation unit is connected in signal-conducting relationship to one or more actuators, and is adapted to control the actuator or actuators by the control commands, wherein the alarm valve station preferably has one or more sensors and the evaluation unit is connected in signal-conducting relationship to the sensor or sensors and is adapted to control the actuator or actuators in dependence on the sensor data present thereat.
