Air Maintenance Device - Model H1
Description and Operation
Globe's Model H-1 Air Pressure Maintenance Device is an automatic, field-adjustable device of the pressure reducing type. It is used to control the supervisory air pressure in a dry pipe sprinkler system, preaction system, or dry pilot line system of a dry pilot sprinkler actuated deluge or preaction valve. The H-1 is utilized in applications where there is a compressed air (or nitrogen) source which is at a higher pressure than the desired system pressure. Pressure sources include plant air supplies having their own automatic compressor controls, or nitrogen supplies having single-stage cylinder mounted pressure regulators.
The 1/2" globe valve is opened to admit air speedily to the dry pipe system. It is closed once the desired system air pressure has been established. As pressure drops on the system side of the 1/4" check valve, the regulator and metering orifice operate automatically to replace small losses of air which periodically occur in the system due to temperature or other system variations. The regulator and metering orifice limit the volume of air introduced to assure that the rate of air replacment is less than that from a discharging sprinkler so that system activation may take place.
