Condensate collector arrangement for dry pipe sprinkler system

A condensate collector arrangement for a dry pipe sprinkler system, comprising:

• a first valve comprising an inlet and an outlet, said first valve having a first valve member for selectively preventing communication between the inlet and the outlet of the first valve;
• a second valve comprising an inlet and an outlet, said second valve having a second valve member for selectively preventing communication between the inlet and the outlet of the second valve;
• a collection chamber in fluid communication with the outlet of said first valve and the inlet of the second valve, said collection chamber being generally elongate between said first valve and said second valve;
• a switch operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
• a float member provided downstream of said first valve member and upstream of said second valve member, said float member being configured to move upwardly in response to an accumulation of condensate in said collection chamber, said movement of said float member causing said switch to change between said open configuration and said closed configuration;
• and,
• an alarm which is operatively connected to said switch, said alarm being activated when said float member causes said switch to change between said open configuration and said closed configuration to indicate the presence of a predetermined amount of condensate in the collection chamber.
