UPS systems for scientific facilities

Scientific establishments, such as laboratories and research institutes are full of highly sensitive electrical equipment and processes that require complete power protection. The disruption caused by a power failure could result in the loss of irreplaceable data; even a minor imperfection in the power supply could cause sensitive systems to crash. Apart from these obvious problems there is the subtle ongoing damage to expensive scientific equipment caused by voltage irregularities that are ever present in the mains supply of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The cost and inconvenience of relying on the unreliable mains supply means that installing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system should be part of any scientific facility’s refurbishment, upgrade or new build.

However, you don’t want to trust your power supply to just anyone; you need to work with a company that understands your specific requirements and has pedigree within the scientific community.

End users
Chloride understands that the provision of uninterrupted power does not start and finish with the installation of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system or generator. We offer comprehensive service and maintenance delivered by the largest dedicated service network in the country to ensure your equipment remains operational.

In addition, to protect highly sensitive equipment from voltage irregularities Chloride offer the popular and proven range of ONEAC power conditioners and power conditioned UPS systems. These smaller units are used to prevent damage to individual high cost and/or highly sensitive pieces of equipment.

Contractors
Chloride’s experience at working on all sorts of sites, from new builds with tight deadlines through to existing establishments requiring out of hours working, makes us an ideal partner. In addition with our dedicated project management department, experienced in both UPS system and diesel generator installations, you can delegate the entire backup power undertaking to experts.

UPS system applications within scientific facilities and laboratories
