SIPOS actuators with UPS
SIPOS Aktorik can provide single phase actuators
(with 3-phase asynchronous motors) for standard and modulating duty.

Low power consumption and proven reliability in the SIPOS

actuator, combined with a single phase power supply, allows low cost UPS systems to be used in 230 V single phase systems: this ensures emergency operation in the event of a pipe break.

Additionally, mains water systems are protected against potentially damaging pressure surges (water hammer).

Linear flow control with smooth pumping operation
Kiva Pumping Station, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is connected to an existing part of the water supply system, but has experienced growing demand and must significantly increase capacity.
The valve/actuator system must manage water surges during pump start-up and shut-down and provide linear water flow control during normal operation.
In addition, the use of advanced electrical design incorporating inverter technology allows the use of simple single phase UPS supplies to control the valve in event of power failure.

Non-potable water pumping
The non-potable water pumping station located in Erie, Colorado distributes treated water from a storage reservoir to the town’s irrigation system and to Boulder Creek in the Rocky Mountains.
The valve / actuator system must manage water surges during pump start-up and shut-down, provide linear water flow control during normal operation and protect the pump in the event of power failure.
In addition, the use of advanced electrical design incorporating inverter technology allows the use of simple single phase UPS supplies to control the valve in event of power failure.
