More Information
Summary:A sprinkler accelerator includes at least one accelerator opening, a vent, an actuator, an orifice, and a filter. The at least one accelerator opening couples with at least one pipe. The at least one pipe is coupled with at least one sprinkler. A gas including at least one of air and nitrogen is in the at least one pipe. The actuator moves, responsive to a rate of change of a first pressure applied by gas in the at least one accelerator opening satisfying a pressure rate threshold, to couple the at least one accelerator opening with the vent. The orifice is coupled with the at least one pipe to adjust the rate of change of the first pressure responsive to the at least one sprinkler changing to an open state. The filter is coupled with the orifice to filter fluid passing from the at least one pipe through the orifice.
