Damcos™ Local Power Unit – LPU
NEW GENERATION! The Damcos LPU (Local Power Unit) comprehends an integrated electro-hydraulic valve remote control system and is structured to enhance safety and efficiency to the system. The rugged, compact and modular design of the LPU has proven itself reliable in the harsh marine environment and is developed for flexible mounting either directly on actuators or on bulkhead. The LPU comes in 3 variations with extensive capabilities to ease installation, configuration and operation.
The Damcos™ Local Power Unit (LPU), developed by Emerson, is a compact and self-contained hydraulic power system designed to operate single or multiple valve actuators in marine and offshore environments. Built for reliability, precision, and safety, the LPU provides localized hydraulic control for valves where centralized systems are impractical or unavailable. Engineered for demanding offshore and subsea conditions, the Damcos™ LPU ensures consistent hydraulic pressure and independent valve operation, enhancing system reliability and minimizing downtime. Its modular design allows easy integration with Damcos™ actuators, control systems, and monitoring units, providing complete control and feedback capability for on-deck or underwater applications. The LPU features robust corrosion-resistant materials, low maintenance requirements, and fail-safe performance, making it a preferred choice for oil and gas, marine, and industrial automation operations
