Hi,
I'm planning to use a 'Single Interlock Preaction Type A Sprinkler System (Tyco Model DV-5)' in a project. The system is electrically activated.
Regarding this I have a maybe little silly question - but I hope you can bear with this.
The electrical system activates which will activate the solenoid valve and fill the system with water. The system has an air pressure of 10 psi. The electrically system will activate before the sprinklers which brings me to my question; will the air pressure disappear from the pipe system when the water will fill the system -and where to? I can not see that there is a valve for this purpose? Or is it such a small air pressure, that it is a theoretical issue rather than practical?
I hope a kind soul will find the time to an answer - thanks in advance!
