1 Basic Issues
The systems manufactured and designed by LPG for fire extinction by means of INERT GAS are conceived to be
solid, reliable and easy to assemble, thus allowing the checking of their operative status by means of easy check
operations included in this manual.
However LPG Tcnicas en Extincin de Incendios, S.A. wishes to explain the following issues:
Every single person who deals with the start-up, inspection, checking and maintenance of the systems must be
well trained in order to perform the different checks. LPG always recommends the adoption of safety work
practices according to the legislation in force on health and safety procedural issues. It is also advisable for the
personnel in charge of the installation and maintenance of the fire extinguishing system to receive some training
on the safety area as well as to carry out both a complete and careful reading of this manual before engaging
into any of the described operations.
Every single person who works in a monitored zone protected by INERT GAS must be informed of the fire
extinguishing agent properties and its possible effects both on people and protected goods. The personnel who
work in the monitored zone must be instructed on how to proceed in the event of a possible alarm and in the
different types of systems activation.
Throughout the installation and maintenance operations the workers must wear industrial clothing and safety
footwear. When necessary a helmet and gloves must also be worn. Whenever the workers are to drill holes for
the pipe supports or for the positioning of the cylinder racking brackets, it is also compulsory the use of safety
goggles or a mask. This protection is also applicable when some operations are to be carried out which may
cause shedding of particles.
Due to possible false alarms of the detection system (if any) produced by the dust or the smoke caused by
installation works, the detection system of the area shall be either isolated or disconnected before and during the
assembly operations.
The whole equipment and piping network must be installed according to the project design. Any modification of
the design must be approved in writing by the client and the responsible engineering company. The construction
drawings must be corrected. The corrections to be submitted shall include the modifications in the project.
When moving the cylinder make sure that the valve protection cap is always firmly and tightly secured.

Use one or some of the following materials as thread sealing elements:
Thread sealing compound for 0.4 mm clearance.

Teflon tape.
Regardless of the sealing element used do not ever cover the first two screw threads in order to assure the cleaning
of the inside part of the piping network.

TECHNICAL DATA
2 Installation
During the assembly of the system it is advisable to always use the installation drawings supplied with the delivery of
components.
As an example the plans of the following system types are included in the Appendix I:
Battery type 80 I INERT GAS 7 cylinders base (plan number 520098AR)
Battery type 140 I INERT GAS 3 cylinders base (plan number 520094AR)
All of these drawings describe the LPG INERT GAS standard rack system. In these plans it is possible to see the
layout of the system cylinder rack, the connection of the simple release system and the layout of the standard
support systems. The drawings are included only as an example, therefore those facilities to have specific drawings
should be guided by their own ones.
Proceed to check against the plans and the materials lists whether all of the components have been supplied. Check
also whether any of the components are damaged. Any defective component must be replaced. Examine the position
of the cylinders and the pipe sections in the drawings and check that no physical barriers are to be found which
require some modification of the cylinders, the brackets or the pipe sections. The project engineer must be informed
of any deviation with respect to the drawings.
Previous to begin with the assembly of the installation verify the position of the battery (it is usually indicated in the
plans). The most advisable position of the battery is the nearest room, although it should be away from the protected
risk. It should also be large enough to house the equipment as well as to make possible the assembly and
maintenance operations. The equipment must not be exposed to severe climatologically conditions, direct action of
the flame or to a too humid environment. It must be located away from unauthorized handling and mechanical or
chemical aggressions.
Material to be required to install the equipment:
Teflon tape, 0.4 mm joint sealing compound
Set of ring spanners (6 to 22 mm)
Adjustable spanner
Hand electric hammer drill
Hacksaw
Drills (intended for work materials)
Ladders, scaffolding
Spirit Level
Flexometer
Philips and flat head screwdriver set
Multimeter
Set of Allen keys
Clamps, pliers
Pipe cutters
M.12 plugs appropriate for the fixing surface
Note: In order to carry out the equipment assembly at least two workers will be necessary.

2.1 Mechanical/ Pneumatic Installation

The LPG INERT GAS centralized systems are divided into 4 systems:
Support system
Storage system
Release system
Distribution system
In the following sections you shall find both a description of the components to each system and the explanation on
how to perform their assembly. The order in which the components are described is also the order in which they must
be installed.

2.1.1
Support System
Description:
Metallic structure composed of a plateholder (bracket) to support the cylinders and the manifold block.
The brackets for 80 litre cylinders have side columns. The brackets for 140 litre cylinders do not have columns,
therefore their structure should be attached directly to the wall.
Assembly:
On carrying out the installation it is important to take the following issues into consideration:
Sweep the floor on which the battery will be assembled. Make sure by checking against the sizes which
appear on the drawing that the rack system fits perfectly in the chosen position.
The floor on which the bracket will be assembled must be as flat as possible.
The wall where the bracket will be fastened (in case it should be necessary) must be at right angles to the
floor and it will be solid (avoid partition walls, Pladur or similar ones).
In the event of having to fasten the bracket to a partition wall it will be necessary to prepare some iron plates
which shall allow fastening of the bracket from the other side of the wall as shown in the picture:
NUT
M.12 SCREW
BRAKET
SUPPORT IRON PLATE
PARTITION WALL
The assembly of the brackets and the position of the manifold depends upon the bracket having side columns and
upon the connection to the piping network being horizontal or vertical.
DOC: MU/IG/02/IN

The steps to follow are the following:
Assembly of brackets with a vertical support column:
(see fig. 2.1.1.1. and 2.1.1.2)
1.
2.
3.
Carry out a preassembly of the bracket by joining the back sleats (1) with the column (6).
When dealing with rack systems with more than 8 x 80 litre cylinders the central column (9) should also be
assembled.
The hexagonal brackets (4) are normally delivered assembled to the sleat. If this is not the case assemble
the hexagonal brackets to the sleat by using the iron gates (2) and the nuts (3) that have been supplied.
Arrange the rubber guards (5) to protect the cylinders from any rubbing.

Connect cylinder valves to discharge hoses. Connection between valve and hose does not require any
sealed element. Connection shall be carried out without forcing or twisting hose. Once connection is
performed on both cylinders, accurate manifold position is obtained in relation to fixing brackets, so it is
possible to proceed manifold final fixing onto its seats (7) by tightening manifold "U" fixation (8).
Connect manifold free end (16) to high pressure elbow (see fig. 2.1.1.3). Verify position of all parts installed
on the bracket (cylinders, discharge hoses, manifold, bracket, elbow, restrictor and pipe system). Arrange
position of parts as required prior to final fixation.
Mark anchored points on the floor and wall. It is possible to drill using as a guide bracket mechanised fixing
drills. Fix bracket onto its final position. High-power chemical or metallic fixing plugs shall be used for floor

TECHNICAL DATA
To prevent uncontrolled accidental discharges during installation or maintenance operations or handling of valve,
remove head cap (5) and place plug on outlet port (7).This simple operation prevents risks, such as in case of
accidental discharge, orifice (6) will drive gas from cylinder to environment in a controlled way, instead of through
valve outlet (7). Safety disk cap (10) is also perforated thus allowing controlled gas discharge in case over pressure
bursts safety disk.
Mounting:
Valve is delivered mounted onto auxiliary cylinder. Do not try to dismantle any of incorporated accessories. Mounting
of elements associated (discharge hose (7) and release device (1) shall be installed later, following the order they are
described.
NOTE: VALVE UNION WITH PRESSURE GAUGE AND PRESSURE SWITCH IS FIXED. DISMANTLE IS NOT
ALLOWED. NEVER TRY TO DISMANTLE SAME.
NOTE: FOR ANY INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE OPERATION, VALVE HEAD CAP (5) MUST REMAIN
DISMANTLED AS A SAFETY MEASURE. WHEN ANY MOUNTING, MAINTENANCE OR TEST OPERATION IS
FINSIHED, DO NOT FORGET TO REPLACE HEAD CAP, HAND TIGHTEN, CHECK THAT HEAD CAP "O" RING

When valve is at rest, pressure remains retained by closing element (12) and release disk (8) . Release pneumatic
cone (13) incorporates in its interior a protactor piston (14). When pressure released by cylinder approaches back of
protactor piston (14), same is displaced until release disk (8) bursts. At that moment pressure retained by release
disk is released and driven over piston (11). Because surface relation between piston (11) and closing element (12)
is 3:1, piston moves downwards thus, opening the valve.

NOTE: LPG DOES NOT RECOMEND YOU TO REMOVE SOLENOID VALVE FROM PILOT CYLINDER, IN CASE
OF MALFUNCTION, SEND VALVE + CYLINDER + SOLENOID VALVE TO LPG.
If for any reason or breakdown, it is essential to remove solenoid valve from pilot cylinder valve, firstly, disconnect
valve pressure gauge. When you disconnect the pressure gauge, pressure supply to solenoid valve is shut-off. This
operation should be performed under great precaution and operate carefully to prevent false operations.
Therefore, the operator shall stand sideways to prevent a pressure gauge violent explosion. Discharge of nitrogen
cylinder may be produced and cause discharge of cylinder bank. To prevent this, dismantle head cap of pilot cylinder
valve. Next, dismantle connector (4), nut (2) remove coil (3) and last loosen fixing nut (1) with a rounded shape
wrench.
Now it is possible to remove the rest of the solenoid valve. Mounting is performed by reversing disassembly
procedure.
Prior to mounting a solenoid valve check that there is no leakage by applying soapy water to all solenoid valve body,
previously removing connector and coil. Check likewise for leakage on valve head (head orifice).

3 Commissioning and maintenance

An INERT GAS extinguishing system shall be inspected and tested by competent personnel during system
commissioning after its installation phase. Furthermore, a system inspection and maintenance calendar should be
followed. The object of a periodical inspection is to ensure that the system is in perfect operating condition at all
times. It is also useful for identification of problems due to age, accidental and environmental damages, unauthorised
handling, changes in the contents of protected volume, uses, openings communicating with rooms and in general all
those factors which may affect negatively foreseen extinguishing system output.
3.1 System commissioning and reception

Extinguishing system commissioning consists of an installation inspection to evaluate installed system compliance
with projected system and the execution of a series of tests which ensure proper operation of the extinguishing
system.
This document only deals with commissioning operations and inspections for cylinder banks and extinguishing
systems. For detection system commissioning operations consult your supplier or detector manufacturer.
Only personnel properly trained in fire extinguishing techniques shall perform system reception inspection and
commissioning.
IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW PROPERLY CYLINDER BANK CONNECTION AND IN PARTICULAR RELEASE
SYSTEM.
as in some occasions only one release system is used to command discharge of several cylinder banks which may
even be located on different distant locations. We recommend to study carefully installation drawings showing
connection diagrams and LPG standard cylinder bank releases; in the case of commissioning of a non-standard
cylinder bank it is necessary to consider the drawing supplied together with bank components.
TESTS TO BE PERFORMED FOR SYSTEM COMMISSIONING SHALL FOLLOW THE STEPS DESCRIBED IN
THIS MANUAL,
as a failure in execution could provoke a system accidental discharge. Extinguishing system tests for components
which are not described in this manual shall not be performed.
During the performance of tests all personnel not assigned to commissioning operations shall evacuate cylinder
storage area and area or areas protected by the cylinder bank.
Protection masks and gloves shall be worn for component handling subject to pressure.
3.1.1
Component revision
After installation of an INERT GAS system you should proceed with a system reception inspection. This consists of a

Commissioning operations and operation tests.
For commissioning, it is recommended to perform all the tests described hereinafter.

Some of these tests are also performed for maintenance operations (see calendar in item 3.2 Maintenance). Material
supplied by LPG is subject to factory quality control, thus the following tests on installed system constitute a
complement to ensure proper extinguishing system operation and to prevent possible damage
resulting from mounting.
3.1.2.1
Blow out with nitrogen
Blowing out a pipe system with nitrogen (or any other suitable gas) ensures that the inside of the pipe is cleaned and
denounces pipe or nozzle obstructions. Nitrogen flow shall be continuous. To perform the blow out, follow steps
below:
Remove auxiliary cylinder valve head caps.
Remove pressure switch with locking device.
Connect to manifold free port a dry nitrogen cylinder, fitted with regulated outlet of 50 bar pressure in
accordance with enclosed sketch:
Relief valve

Remove all nozzles comprising the system to be blown out. To perform nozzle reconnection, it is very
important to have available isometric drawings or project document where location of each nozzle is
specified, as internal bores are different.
Plug all free pipe ends/terminals, except one.
Open nitrogen cylinder valve and keep blowing out for 15 seconds approximately.
NOTE: PRESSURE ESCAPE BY FREE END IS DANGEROUS. CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO PERSONS
INSIDE THE ROOM AND EVACUATE OR FIX ELEMENTS WHICH COULD BE HURLED BY THE EFFECT OF
THE PRESSURE.
PERFORMANCE OF THIS TEST MAY PRODUCE CLOUDS OF DUST.

Operating test for pilot cylinder release solenoid valves.
Consider thoroughly drawings or installation of electric circuit feeding pilot cylinder solenoid valves. INERT GAS
systems only incorporate solenoid valves in pilot cylinders as to feed selector valves. Solenoid valves are never
mounted on INERT GAS auxiliary cylinder valves.
Remove pilot cylinder valve head caps.
Remove solenoid coil nut and pull coil out of its housing on its centre stem. Remove all solenoid valve coils
pertaining to one release system. It is very important to ensure that they are all out of their housing so as to
avoid an accidental discharge during the test.
Operate an electric release from fire station so as to excite coil.

Once coil is excited, insert a suitable easily magnetised element (such as a light screwdriver) through its centre
orifice. Proper operation is confirmed if a magnetic field is produced retaining the metallic object inserted into the
coil orifice. Minimum actuating time is 3 minutes during which a gradual heating of the coil may be observed.
DOC: MU/IG/02/IN
Rev: 0 Pag: 60/109
TECHNICAL DATA
Repeat operation with each of the solenoid valves in one release system.
To prevent accidents, prior to replacing each coil onto its stem, (it is vital not to muddle each coil position)
using same metallic object check for remains of magnetism through the coil orifice which may activate the valve.
IMPORTANT: It is advisable that the length of the cable for solenoid valves
shall be such that it will not be possible to mix up their
position (the long cable for the solenoid valve which is further
away and the shorter cable for the one that is nearer).
Slowly place coil onto centre stem. If there is any magnetism left, controlled leakage will take place through the
top of pilot cylinder main valve. If so, remove coil quickly to interrupt leakage. Such leakage shows that solenoid
valve is still being fed. Shut off that supply.
In the event of controlled leakage through the top of pilot cylinder main valve with the result that it will be difficult
to eliminate, to prevent slow discharge of cylinder, proceed to perform 2 or 3 rapid placements with the excited
coil (pulses not to exceed 1 second ) on its stem to stop leakage. If leakage is uncontrolled, contact the
Technical Service of LPG Tcnicas en Extinction de Incendios, S.A.
Once coil is replaced onto its stem, replace the hexagonal nut which was removed in step 3.

NOTE: For whatever reason you decide to SEPARATE A PILOT VALVE BODY FROM A SOLENOID VALVE
STEM it is imperative to disconnect pilot cylinder main valve gauge first. This operation shuts off pressure
supply to solenoid valve.
CAUTION: CYLINDER IS CHARGED AT 100 BAR. See 2.1.3.1 for further information.
In case of malfunction, LPG recommends not to dismantle stem but submit pilot cylinder + solenoid + valve

Inspection and test for protected enclosure integrity.

Check enclosure measurements and its adaptability to design project specified measurements. Verify that all
structural components are in compliance with drawings.
Enclosure gas tightness may be checked by following one of these methods:
-
Door Fan Test: This test comprises determining an enclosure leakage area by means of a
pressurization and forced depressurization test. Operations for pressure changes are performed by
means of a fan installed at enclosure door. From results obtained we draw up period of time agent
maintained in the enclosure, that is, time design concentration is maintained at hazard located at
maximum height.
Flooding Test: Comprises a real discharge subject to continuous registering the evolution of the
oxygen concentration in the room at three points of different heights. From results obtained we may
draw up period of time agent maintained in the enclosure.
Standards NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520 specify Door Fan Test as an enclosure integrity test (unless Authorities
Having Jurisdiction say otherwise). CEA and Cepreven specify flooding test for rate of maintained time, except when
any other procedure may be used. LPG has available means and qualified personnel to perform any of these
two tests.
