Abstract:

The present invention involves a pipe assembly for discharging excess condensation from a closed circuit, pressurized air, fire sprinkler system. The disclosed invention has either one or two controlled valves and a water detection system that includes a sensor for detecting a predetermined amount of water in a water reservoir and a switch that triggers the discharge of excess condensation when a certain predetermined threshold is reached. The water detection system also contains an air pressure switch with sensor that deactivates the present invention in an event of sprinkler system activation. The water detection system determines the open and closed states of the controlled valves automatically or in response to inputs from a manual actuator switch or in response to a command from a remote command center.
