Shipco® Aqueous™ is an economical method of automating functions on a Shipco® condensate, boiler feed, deaerator, vacuum condensate or vacuum boiler feed unit. Featuring a modular architecture that separates the crucial PLC component from the display HMI, Aqueous™ offers cost-effective configurations depending on end user requirements. The Aqueous™ display HMI is a NEMA 4 rated, full-color touchscreen with 3 different sizes: 4-, 7- and 15-inch. The standard PLC component is also expandable with additional I/O modules for larger applications. Pump control can be grouped into unique staging sequences along with customizable relay and analog outputs. In addition to typical differential pressure level transmitters and temperature RTDs, Aqueous™ also supports the economical Shipco® Transmitter for continuous level and temperature on smaller, less sophisticated applications.
​
Support for building automation protocols Modbus® TCP and BACnet™ IP are included via built-in Ethernet; serial RS-485 connection for Modbus® RTU and BACnet™ MS/TP is also included.
​
Aqueous Automated Water Controls™ or Aqueous AWC™ are typically used for (but not limited to) Condensate, Boiler Feed, Vacuum Producers, Vacuum Condensate, Vacuum Boiler Feed and Deaerators.
