Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
  • a fire protection sprinkler system is illustrated in Fig. 1 and indicated generally by reference number 100.
  • the system 100 includes a water source 102, a sprinkler 104 and a piping network 106 interconnecting the water source 102 and the sprinkler 104.
  • the system 100 further includes an automatic gas vent 108 coupled to the piping network 106 and configured to discharge gas from the piping network 106.
  • the automatic gas vent 108 is configured as an assembly for coupling to the piping network 106 as a single unit.
  • the automatic gas vent assembly 108 includes a sensor 1 10 configured to sense a presence or absence of a liquid and an electrically operated valve 1 12.
  • the automatic gas vent assembly 108 is configured to open the electrically operated valve 1 12 in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the absence of a liquid and close the electrically operated valve 1 12 in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the presence of a liquid.
  • the automatically gas vent assembly 108 allows gas to be automatically discharged from the piping network 106 via the electrically operated valve 1 12 (as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1 ) without also discharging water. This is because the electrically operated valve 1 12 is automatically opened in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the absence of water, and automatically closed in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the presence of water (e.g., when the piping network 106 is being filled with water, or after a gas bubble moves past the sensor 1 10).
  • the sensor 1 10 may be any type of sensor adapted to sense the absence or presence of a liquid.
  • the sensor 1 10 is an electrical conductance probe. Thus, low (including no) conductance indicates the absence of liquid and high conductance indicates the presence of liquid.
  • the sensor 1 10 (and additional sensors, if employed) may be positioned at any suitable location in the system 100.
  • the electrically operated valve 1 12 is preferably a normally closed valve so the valve 1 12 will automatically close when electric power is lost. In this manner, the valve 1 12 will not allow water to escape from the piping network 106 when electric power is removed from the automatic gas vent assembly 108 (e.g., during a power outage).
  • the valve 1 12 is a normally closed, solenoid-operated valve.
  • the assembly 108 includes space (e.g., in the piping 1 14) between the sensor 1 10 and the electrically operated valve 1 12 for containing a pressurized air bubble.
  • space e.g., in the piping 1 14
  • the electrically operated valve 1 12 will be open.
  • the electrically operated valve 1 12 will close in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the presence of water.
  • an air bubble will be trapped by the electrically operated valve 1 12 in the space between the sensor 1 10 and the valve 1 12.
  • the water pressure in the piping network 106 will compress and reduce the volume of the trapped air bubble until the pressure of the air bubble reaches the water pressure in the piping network 106.
  • the automatic gas vent assembly may also include an electrical control 1 16 coupled to the sensor 1 10 (e.g., via cable 1 18) and coupled to the electrically operated valve 1 12 (e.g., via cable 120).
  • the electrical control 1 16 is configured to open the electrically operated valve 1 12 in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the absence of a liquid, and close the electrically operated valve 1 12 in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the presence of a liquid.
  • the electrical control 1 16 may be powered by 1 10 VAC, as shown in Fig. 1 , or any other suitable AC or DC power source.
  • the electrical control 1 16 is configured to produce an electrical output indicating a state of the electrically operated valve 1 12. This output may be provided, e.g., to one or more visual indicators (e.g., LEDs) for indicating whether the electrically operated valve is open or closed.
  • the electrical control 1 16 includes two visual indicators 122, 124.
  • the indicator 122 is activated (e.g., turned on) when the electrically operated valve 1 12 is open, and the indicator 124 is activated when the electrically operated valve 1 12 is closed.
  • indicator 122 is red and indicator 124 is green.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a fire protection sprinkler system 200 having an automatic gas vent assembly 208 that is similar to the assembly 108 shown in Fig. 1 , but further includes an optional pressure-operated valve 226 as well as an optional redundant gas vent 228.
  • the pressure-operated valve 226 is in fluid communication with the electrically operated valve 1 12 and has a pressure setting that may be set in the factory or manually in the field.
  • the pressure-operated valve 226 is configured to prevent an ingress of air into the system 200 through the pressure- operated valve 226.
  • the pressure-operated valve 226 operates as a one-way valve that allows gas to exit the system 200 (as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2) while preventing gas (including oxygen-rich air that may cause corrosion) from entering the system 200.
  • the pressure setting of the pressure-operated valve 226 is preferably below the water pressure of the water source 102. As a result, the water pressure of the water source 102 will be sufficient to discharge gas through the pressure-operated valve 226 as the piping network 106 is being filled with water. In some embodiments, the pressure setting of the pressure-operated valve 226 is about forty pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG). [0034] Additionally, the pressure-operated valve 226 may increase the amount of air compressed in the space (e.g., in the piping 1 14) between the sensor 1 10 and the electrically operated valve 1 12 when the piping network 106 is filling with water.
  • PSIG pounds per square inch gauge
  • the air in the space between the sensor 1 10 and the valve 1 12 will compress and reach the pressure setting of the pressure-operated valve (e.g., about forty PSIG) before air begins to exit the system 200 via the pressure-operated valve 226.
  • the pressure setting of the pressure-operated valve e.g., about forty PSIG
  • a compressed air bubble will already exist in the space between the sensor 1 10 and the electrically operated valve 1 12 while the valve 1 12 is still open.
  • the electrically operated valve 1 12 closes in response to the sensor 1 10 sensing the presence of water, the water pressure in the piping network 106 will further compress and reduce the volume of the trapped air bubble until the pressure of the air bubble reaches the water pressure in the piping network 106.
  • a larger volume of air may be trapped and compressed in the system 200 of Fig. 2 as compared to the system 100 of Fig. 1 , due to the pressure-operated valve 226.
  • the pressure-operated valve 226 may emit an audible indicator when the pressure-operated valve 226 is discharging gas from the system 200.
  • the pressure- operated valve 226 is a pressure relief valve.
  • any other suitable type of pressure-operated valve may be employed including, e.g., a check valve, etc.
  • the redundant gas vent 228 shown in Fig. 2 is configured to vent gas and retain liquid, and is preferably positioned between the sensor 1 10 and the electrically operated valve 1 12.
  • the redundant gas vent 228 provides additional assurance that no water will be discharged from the system 200 during normal operation, and also ensures no water will be discharged from the system 200 due to a failure of the sensor 1 10 and/or the electrically operated valve 1 12.
  • the redundant gas vent 228 may be any suitable gas vent, and is preferably a passive mechanical gas vent to ensure no water will be discharged from the system during a power outage, even if the electrically operated valve 1 12 malfunctions.
  • the redundant gas vent 228 is a float operated valve of the type made by Apco.
  • Figs. 3A and 3B illustrate one example embodiment of the electrical control 1 16 shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the example electrical control 1 16 includes a board level controller 302 coupled to the sensor 1 10 (e.g., an electrical conductance probe), and a relay 304 coupled to the electrically operated valve 1 12 and the visual indicators 122, 124.
  • the sensor 1 10 senses the absence of water
  • the sensor 1 10 presents an open circuit to the board level controller 302, as shown in Fig. 3A.
  • the board level controller 302 energizes the coil of the relay 304.
  • the relay 304 provides power to the electrically operated valve 1 12 to open the valve 1 12, and also provides power to the "open" indicator 122, as shown in Fig. 3A.
  • the sensor 1 10 senses the presence of water
  • the sensor 1 10 presents a closed circuit to the board level controller 302, as shown in Fig. 3B.
  • the board level controller 302 deenergizes the coil of the relay 304.
  • the relay 304 removes power from the electrically operated valve 1 12, causing the valve 1 12 to close, while providing power to the "closed" indicator 124, as shown in Fig. 3B.
  • the relay 304 is a double pole, double throw (DPDT) relay.
  • DPDT double pole, double throw
  • Fig. 4 illustrates a fire protection sprinkler system 400 according to another example embodiment of this disclosure.
  • the system 400 of Fig. 4 is similar to the system 200 of Fig. 2, but further includes an inert gas source 430 coupled to the piping network 106.
