CYLINDER BANK INSTALLATION
7-11.1
Location
The cylinders and accompanying hardware shall be placed and installed according to
the relevant cylinder bank assembly layout.
Note:
As each 2900 PSI (200 bar), 80 L cylinder has a weight of approximately
300 lb. (136 kg), it is important to insure that the floor can bear the
resulting load.

CYLINDER VALVE
This valve type has internal pneumatic actuation built in and is to be pneumatically operated.
The valve handle is to be used only for filling purposes. For non-VdS approved systems it is
recommended that all cylinder banks are equipped with a minimum of one manual/pneumatic
actuator.
For normal system actuation, a solenoid valve actuator is used. The number of cylinders
controlled by any single solenoid valve should not exceed 100. The solenoid valve(s) are to
be energized for the entire discharge periodapproximately 2 minutes.

NOZZLES
7-13.1
Selecting Number of Nozzles
The nozzles are designed for 360° coverage. The maximum coverage of a single nozzle
is 1,254 ft.
2
(116.5 m
2
).
The 360 nozzle cannot be mounted in a corner or against a wall. The maximum nozzle
discharge radius is 25 ft. (7.6 m), with the longest side not to exceed 35 ft., 5 in. (10.8
m). These nozzles should be centered in the area of protection when multiple nozzles
are discharged into the same hazard.
The height of the room shall range between 1 ft. (0.3 m) and 16 ft. (4.88 m) from floor to
ceiling. The nozzle should be placed as close or near to the containers as possible to
minimize system piping. The ceiling tiles in the hazard area must be clipped to hold them in
place during a discharge and prevent damage.
At the maximum height of 16 ft. (4.88 m) the distance that such a nozzle can cover is
reduced to 18.8 ft. (5.7 m).
