- Description
- NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP)] for the fabrication of an electrically-heated, water-cooled, closed-loop Brayton electrical power system. The system shall consist of two turboalternator-compressor units that share a common gas containment loop. The system shall be designed to produce approximately 15 kilowatts per alternator with nitrogen working fluid at a turbine inlet temperature of 1000 K, compressor inlet temperature of 315 K, and compressor inlet pressure of 1.1 bar. The system shall meet all applicable federal, state and local codes including ASME B31.3 Process Piping, and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IX. The system shall be designed for operation with both turboalternator-compressor units at design speed, or at partial power with either unit at operating speed and the remaining unit in standby. The system should utilize existing commercial components to the extent practical in order to reduce cost and minimize development schedule. Upon completion of the system, an acceptance test shall be performed at the contractor?s facility and the system shall be delivered to NASA GRC. Delivery must be available before August 2006. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541710 and 1000 employees, respectively.
