- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a Water Cooling Recirculation System. Complete turn-key, water-to-water heat-exchanger system (recirculation flow separated from plate service cooling water), to remove up to 100kW from test hardware. Complete turn-key recirculation cooling water system with water-to-water heat exchanger to dump waste heat to a plate cooling water system (such as the Sentry Closed Water Isolation Skid or the NESLAB System Recirc System). Non-refrigerated system with the following specifications. :Temperature range: 5 deg C to 40 deg C. Temperature Stability: +/- 2 deg C. Cooling capacity: 90 kW or more. Operating voltage: 440-480 VAC 3-P (preferred) or 208-240 VAC 3-P. Power Consumption: 2 to 5 kVA. Pumping capacity: 40 gpm or more. Maximum Operating press: 100 psi or better. Pump Pressure rise: 40 psig or better. Reservoir/expansion tank: Included Inlet/outlet fitting type: pipe connections. Unit controller: Easy to use programmable control capability for automatic (closed loop control) regulation of recirculation water temperature with modulating valves. User selectable temperature set points, limits and alarms. High temperature, low level, and loss of flow indicators, alarms and interlocks. Display with key entry pad for user to input settings. Automatic restart capability should power fail. Isolation Valves: As necessary on recirculation and plant cooling connections. Heat exchanger: Heavy duty stainless steel construction with provisions for cleaning with minimal system impact. Make up water: Allocations for introducing clean treated water into system. Instrumentation: Pressure, temperature and flow on recirculation Material: Recirculation system piping etc should be made of stainless steel parts and other materials that will not rust or sluf off debris into the clean water flow (steel should not be used). Plant water: untreated non-potable water recirculation water: Capable of operating for long duration with clean filtered water with a nominal resistive in the 0.05 to 1 Megohms-cm. Maximum return water temperature of 40 deg (from process). Operational Duty: Round the clock operation for 3 to 5 years. Include the following additional features, separately priced, for the quotation: 1. Dual Heat exchanger and/or Oversized Heat Exchanger to deal with potential fouling on the plant water side. 2. Dual pump unit to serve as a backup should the primary fail (with switch over capability). 3. Inline filter unit on the recirculation side downstream of the pumps to pick to stop any potential debris from reaching the process. 4. Bacteria/algae control options using treatment or inline UV filter. 5. Allocations to de-aerate the recirculation system water to removed dissolved gases. Quantity of one (1). Delivery is 6 weeks after receipt of order. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-03. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1.
