Upperton Pharma Solutions is a Pharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation which produces critical medicines. They contacted UPS Systems plc with a requirement for a UPS that would support their Air Handling Unit in its HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system.

The Air Handling Unit is responsible for maintaining air quality and temperature for the company’s pharmaceutical products and any downtime or product damage caused by power outages would result in a large loss of productivity and revenue.

 

The building’s engineer advised that the UPS must provide 30 minutes of backup power to the Air Handling Unit with an advised load of 31 amps across the three phases. To meet the customers’ requirements, we offered Riello’s 10kVA Three Phase online double-conversion Sentryum UPS system alongside a battery cabinet that houses two strings of 40 x 9Ah batteries.

 

The battery cabinet was installed externally to the UPS, and a battery management system is used to monitor the battery’s health and performance.

 

“A UPS isn’t just a convenience for air controlled environments, it’s an essential component that safeguards the integrity of the products.”
