Description

In accordance with FAR Part 13 the EPA's National Vehicle and Fule Emissions Laboratory (Ann Arbor, Michigan) is in need of a modern power drive system for an existing DC dynamometer. Heavy Duty Test Cell #2 is equipped with a GE 600 HP electric double ended reversing dynamometer. A motor-generator set and original GE controls power the dynamometers. The dynamometer system was installed in the 1970's. The scope of activity in this procurement is to replace the motor generator and GE control with a modern Digital DC Drive and a manual dynamometer controller. Heavy Duty test cell #2 is an engine dynamometer test cell. The test cell is designed to run transient and steady state exhaust emission tests on large engines, primarily diesel. These engines are typically used in on-highway truck applications, or non-road applications such as agricultural equipment. The engines tested in this test cell typically have rated power values from 100 to 450 HP. The engines are directly coupled to the dynamometer with a vibration dampening drive shaft. The testing consists of steady mode operation as well as transient testing simulating a city or highway driving experience. During testing, the exhaust emissions can be sampled and measured along with many other parameters including actual engine power output. Finally, emission rates are calculated to yield brake specific results or mass of emissions per unit of engine work. Testing is conducted according to U.S. Federal Standards (40 CFR 86) and standards from other international governing bodies. The procurement is for a dynamometer power drive system and a manual dynamometer controller. The contractor will provide for electrical disconnection of all old equipment, installation of new equipment, connection of new equipment to power grid and dynamometer, drive commissioning, and training of EPA personnel. A site visit is currently scheduled for March 14, 2002 between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.. Please contact Karen Reese (734) 214-4451 to request access to the site.
