Plumbing Components. The contractor shall replace all components in the water transporting system, including but not limited to: valves, flow meters, heat exchangers pressure transmitters, thermocouples, filters, and strainers with new components. Industrial Cooling Water Filtration A filtration system shall be added to the incoming industrial cooling water of the test cell/stand to limit particle size such that none of the plumbing components will be fouled by contaminated Industrial cooling water. Industrial cooling water filtration system shall have a means of indicating an unsuitable pressure drop to notify maintenance of a need to change the filter. The test system shall post a warning/caution when the pressure drop is approaching the point of needing to be replaced and the test stand shall not run if the pressure drop is too great. An alarm indication shall post in this instance. Replace Water Valves The contractor shall replace all water valves with new, in the test system’s test chamber (excluding valves on the roof, for example). Replace All Oil Plumbing The contractor shall replace all plumbing that is used for transporting oil in the test system. All replacement plumbing shall be corrosion resistant. At a minimum the outside of all plumbing shall be painted. All replacement plumbing shall be corrosion resistant and rated for the transport of hot oil (120 °C.). All plumbing shall be painted and color coded, and labeled to differentiate between supply and return lines. Labels and Colors shall differentiate between UUT and commercial gearbox oil systems.
Plumbing Components. The contractor shall replace all components in the oil transporting plumbing in the test system, including but not limited to: valves, flow meters, pressure transmitters, thermocouples, filters, and strainers with new components. Replace all Filters, Clean Strainers The contractor shall replace all oil, water, and air filters with new filters before the start of acceptance testing. Align Pumps with Plumbing. Align all pumps with plumbing in accordance with the OEM alignment specifications. Flexible fluid couplings on many pumps are bound or installed at an angle. Install all piping to minimize harmful flexing – especially at pump start-up. All pumping should be rigidly fastened to facility using industry best practices. No floating pipe, especially overhead. Replace Controls on Winch (Adjustable Speed) The contractor shall replace the controls on the PRGB UUT winch with a set of controls capable of varying the velocity of the load. Winch controls shall be capable of being accessed from all positions around the UUT. An extremely fine control (slow rate of change) is desired to permit accurate positioning of the UUT in the Test Stand. Winch controls shall be capable of being accessed from all positions around the UUT. The design and installation shall be approved the FRCE’s Hoist Team. Lighting Modifications Modify the existing test cell lighting system used for illumination of the UUT to allow for dimmable operation from the test cell control room. Record the existing lighting levels before this effort. Maintain or exceed the existing lighting levels. Black Lights The contractor shall provide a suite of black lights (ultraviolet) for the test cell, pointed at the UUT, that can be operated from the control room, for the purpose of leak checks. The black lights shall be capable of detecting UUT leaks. Means of turning off and dimming the remaining lights during operation of the Black Lights shall be provided. Peculiar Calibration Equipment The contractor shall provide and finish and toughly document (manuals, drawings, etc) any/all calibration equipment necessary to carry out the calibration process that is not FRC- E’s inventory of calibration standards. Procure Spare Parts, Specific The contractor shall procure and deliver to the Government the following spare parts prior to the start of acceptance testing: Part Number QTY Description 901-044-001-111 GIS- 003 Detail 150901 2 Pylon Shaft for PRGB 901-044-001-101 GIS- 006 Detail 150501 2 Engine Input Shaft As...
