There are number of stainless steel pipes in each system. Each fountain figure have a pipe containing the nozzle connection parts. Each pipe have one underwater pump. Pipes and the pumps are assembled on a stainless steel base construction.
There are 3 different categories of Alpin Fountain nozzles due to their material: stainless steel, bronze casting and hard plastic. Different types of nozzles create different shapes so a variety of nozzle types are selected in a pool in order to create the desired set of shapes. Alpin Fountains' specially designed anti-vortex water jet nozzles allow water to reach as high as as 150 meters.
Alpin Fountains' specially designed two dimensional and three dimensional rotating robotic nozzles are used especially in musical dancing fountain systems. Robotic nozzle rotation angle and speed are controlled with our computer software. Nozzles can be stopped at programmed positions. All motors and electronic equipment in robotic nozzles are waterproof with IP68 rating.
Underwater pumps are operated with the signal starting from the computer, through electronic control unit and electric panel. These pumps are special pumps for Dancing Fountain i.e. and they can be operated with a high on-off frequency. Pump motors are waterproof and roller bearing construction. Also pumps have filters at the suction end in order to prevent solid particules from reaching to the nozzles.
| Main Properties of ALPIN Pumps | Advantages |
|---|---|
| Double Suction Francis Type Impeller | Axial Force on Motor Shaft is Zero |
| Radially Symmetric Volute | Radial Forces on Motor Shaft is Zero |
| Direct Application to Motor Shaft | Maintenance Free Construction |
| Low Water Level Requirement | Applicable for Low Depth Pools |
| Coupled to Standard NEMA Motors | Suitable for Every Standard Motor |
| High Efficiency, Low Operating Cost | Minimum Electrical Cost |
| Special Motor Winding | High On/Off frequency for dancing fountain |
All underwater lamps are entirely waterproof with rating IP 68. Body of lamp is made from stainless steel material. It contains power LEDs and each LED is 12 Volts 3 Watt and their colors are red, green yellow and white with 10 degree spot angle.
ALPIN Underwater Lamps have a silicon body which acts as a damper for pressure changings. This creates perfect water leakage isolation.
ALPIN Underwater Lamps have one inlet cable and one outlet cable connections. Connections are isolated in the lamp body to prevent water leakage from one lamp to the other lamp that are connected to each other.
Electric Panel contains electronic starters of pumps and lights, fuses, current spike cut off devices and manual control buttons for the pumps and lights. Computer sends signal to Electronic I/O Units and I/O units control the pumps, lights and motors.
Our proprietary Windows based fountain software controls our pumps, motors and lamps. Sofware sends control signals to Electronic I/O Control Units and I/O units convert this to the appropriate control signal for pumps, motors and lights. In the case of musical dancing fountains, software also sends music signal to sound amplifier in sync with the control signal. Our software is easy to use. User can select the music he wants and create a choreography by choosing how fountain animates with the music. User can use the built in audio analyzer to see the high points in the music and program accordingly or he can program just by listening the music. Software is designed with high precision control for perfect synchronization.
