99 -- FLUORINE CELLS, BUSS WORK, SWITCH GEAR AND CELL STANDS SOL EOI No. 3527 DUE 022898 POC Vernon Anderson (423) 574-9843 WEB: Click here to download a copy of the EOI., http://www.ornl.gov/sa-ps/sales-ad.htm. E-MAIL: Click here to contact Vernon Anderson via e-mail., va2@ornl.gov. Lockheed Martin Energy Systems,Inc., acting for and on behalf of the US Department of Energy has 65 government-owned fluroine cells, 2 holding tanks, buss work and switch gear, and fluorine cell stands for potential sale. The fluorine cells are rated to operate in the 200-210 F range at 6,000 -- 6,800 amps to produce aprox. 7 lbs. of fluroine per hour. The cells will contain approx. 212 gallons of potassium bilfluoride, lithium fluorine and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride electrolyte mixture. Teh full cells will weigh between 9,000 -10,000 lbs., and the empty cells will weigh between 6,000 -- 7,000 lbs. Descriptions are as follows: 1. "Operable Cells" (21 ea.) -- should be able to produce fluorine in their present condition. All are full of electrolyte. 2. "Needs Service Cells" (26 ea.) -- are full of electrolyte but contain various degrees of dmaage to internal components (i.e., broken anodes, hole in skirts, etc.). Some amount of mainteance will be required to repair the cells to operable condition. 3. "Needs Service Cellsl -- Empty of Electrolyte" (18 ea.) -- have various degrees of damage to internal components and contain a small heel of solidified electrolyte sludge or non-sludge. Some amount of maintenance will be required to repair the cells to operable condition. 4. "Holding Tanks" (2 ea.) -- are similar to the cells; however, they donot contain the internal components or the gas piping. One is full of electrolyte; the other contains aprox. 10" of electrolyte. Descriptions for the buss work and switch gear are as follows: 1. Old Cell Room -- operated a 36 fluorine cell plant. DC power was furnished by 3 rectifiers which have max. output of 6,700 amps at 400 volts. 2. C&D Quadrant Cell Room -- operated a 28 fluorine cell plant. DC power was furnished by 2 rectifiers which have max. output of 6,000 amps at 460 volts. These cells are electrically connected in series. The copper buss is located above the center of the cell with a bypass switch and 2 disconnect switches for each cell position. 3. E Quadrant Cell Room -- operated 14 fluorine cell plant. DC power was furnished by 1 rectifier which had a max. ouptu of 6,700 amps at 400 volts. These cells are electriclaly connected in series also, and the cooper buss is lcoated above the center of the cell with a bypass switch and 2 disconnect switches for each cell position. 4. Cell Conditioning Room -- operated 4 fluorine cells. DC power was furnished by 2 rectifiers which had a max. output of 8,000 amps at 60 volts. One recitifer power 2 cell positions; however, the buss work was equipped with switch gear to enable all 4 cells to be operated from rectifier. Cooper buss is located above the center of the cell with a bypass switch and 2 disconnect switches for each cell position. (0030)
