Laboratory uninterruptible power supply
Thread Content
Are there any laboratories where members of the marine community work that are equipped with uninterruptible power supplies? Under what circumstances can one request the power provider to install such supplies? Those who are interested in learning more, please share your insights!
For precision instruments, or those in which data needs to be saved continuously to prevent power outages, regular power supplies can provide a runtime of 15–30 minutes.
To what extent are they applied in small and medium-sized chemical plants? The gas chromatography and atomic spectroscopy we use are precision instruments; is it necessary to use an uninterruptible power supply?
Well, a UPS should be used to protect the instruments. 、
Not necessarily; it depends on the local power supply conditions and the requirements of the precision instruments. In areas where the voltage is unstable (most instruments these days come equipped with voltage stabilization devices), or in cases where the instruments have high requirements, UPS units are used. Here we also have gas chromatographs, imported from Agilent, and they don’t require such devices either – it has no impact on the instruments at all.
Protect precision instruments. Some instruments are generally not turned off after being started up, as are other laboratory equipment. For example, fire extinguishing equipment designed for use in laboratories. Laboratory leak alarm devices, and so on.
