All pressure data in this document are given as gauge pressures in bar, unless otherwise stated. NOTE 1 bar = 10 5N/m 2= 100 kPa. EN 1

30、2094-4:2004 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies requirements and describes test methods for container valve assemblies for CO 2 - high-pressure-, Inert Gas- or Halocarbon Gas-fire extinguishing systems, which include a container valve, an actuator and possibly a diptube. This document specifies re

31、quirements and describes test methods for features of the component relevant only for its use in fire extinguishing installations. Diptubes not assembled to the container valves are not covered by this standard. NOTE Valve assemblies can be equipped with additional components (e.g. gauges and switch

36、e which is installed between container and manifold and which permits flow only in one direction 3.2 container valve valve which retains the extinguishing medium in a container, releasing it when actuated 3.3 CO 2 -high-pressure installation fire extinguishing installation in which the CO 2is stored

37、 at ambient temperature. For example, the pressure of the CO 2in storage is p abs= 58,6 bar at 21 C 3.4 CO 2 -low-pressure installation fire extinguishing installation in which the CO 2is stored at low temperature, normally 19 C to 21 C 3.5 diptube pipe, connected to a container valve inlet, which a
