Description

Salient Characteristics 1. The Contractor shall provide a turnkey Alternating Current (AC) dynamometer system to the Vehicle Technology Directorate (VTD) of the Army Research Laboratory in Building 4603, Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD 21005. The Contractor shall ensure the system meets the following minimum requirements: 1.1. The system shall include one (1) dual-ended, high dynamic, low inertia AC dynamometer with frequency stability of 50/60 Hz +/-1%, voltage stability of 400/480 VAC +/-10%, maximum speed of greater than 10,000 rpm, maximum torque of at least 500 Nm up to 4,000 rpm, and 190 Nm at 10,000 rpm, maximum power of at least 220 kW at 4000-8500 rpm, forced air cooling, shaft encoder with one (1) degree resolution, air filter, and mounting base. The Contractor shall specify the torque and power overload capabilities of the dynamometer. The Government shall provide the bed plate specification to match the dynamometer mount within seven (7) days after contract award. 1.2. The system shall include one (1) AC non-regenerative drive with forced air cooling, an outdoor load bank andspeed and torque-controlled mode capability with smooth mode change during operation. The wire connection to the outdoor load bank shall be the Government's responsibility. 1.3. The system shall include one (1) rack-mount (if it is not a desktop style) digital dyno controller with the control and manual operation capability rate up to 1 kHz. The dyno controller shall be remotely interfaced with the AC dynamometer using high-speed Ethernet or RS232. The Contractor shall provide the Ethernet or RS232 protocol and an interface LabView driver to the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) within two (2) weeks of contract completion. The Contractor shall also provide the interface software to control and monitor the dynamometer on the desktop computer. The Contractor shall provide a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. 1.4. The system shall include a rack-mount (if it is not a desktop style) test bed and monitoring system. The system shall provide the real-time control (minimum torque and speed), manual and automatic operation of the dynamometer and an engine at rates up to 1 kHz, dynamometer safety monitoring such as front and rear bearing over-temperature condition, motor winding over-temperature, and cooling air inlet temperature. This unit shall be interfaced with the dynamometer via Ethernet. The system shall provide the interface capability using Ethernet and/or RS232 with the Government-owned LabView-based data acquisition and control (DAC) system. The system shall provide the monitoring of the test bed. The Contractor shall provide the protocol and an interface LabView driver to the TPOC within two (2) weeks of contract completion. 1.5. The Contractor shall provide one (1) in-line torque flange with integrated amplifier and required cables and connectors. 1.6. The Contractor shall provide a set of in-line torque meter calibration equipment including a calibration arm, required multiple weights, and cables. 1.7. The Contractor shall provide two (2) drive shafts: one (1) for low-speed and high-torque and one (1) for high-speed and low-torque engines as listed in Table 1. The Contractor shall provide the required flywheel and dynamometer adapters, bolts, and nuts. The Government shall provide the required information for drive shaft selection such as bolt patterns on the engine side no later than seven (7) days after contract award. 1.8. The Contractor shall provide two (2) shaft safety guards for the drive shaft as shown in Figure 1. 1.9. The Contractor shall provide a boom box with a pedestal as shown in Figure 2. The pedestal shall have lockable casters for mobility. The boom box shall have a data acquisition system for a standard 8-cylinder engine which includes a minimum of sixteen (16) Type K thermocouple channels/thermocouples/wires, eight (8) high-level analog inputs, two (2) 0-250 psi, one (1) 0-50 psi, one (1) 0-5 psi pressure transducers and hose connections, corrected power station including barometric sensor and humidity sensor with ambient temperature, multiple blank panels to adapt additional thermocouple, analog, frequency, and pressure transducers that can be modified to accept mass termination connectors to match existing installations or to meet special system requirements, and to install pressure transducers. Hard-wiring of all the sensors shall be performed by the Government. 1.10. The Contractor shall provide all required signal cables, with a minimum length of forty six (46) feet, between the dynamometer and dynamometer drive. The contractor shall provide all required signal cables, with a minimum length of twenty (20) feet, between the dynamometer drive and the dynamometer controller. (Reference Figure 3 for approximate location of each piece of equipment.) 1.11. The Contractor shall provide sets of shielded flexible multi-core power cables including the cables between the dynamometer and the dynamometer drive, with a minimum length of forty six (46) feet. 1.12. The Contractor shall provide one mechanical throttle control unit which includes throttle actuator, stand, and remote operator control station. 1.13. The Contractor shall provide all other cables, wires, and connectors required to operate the dynamometer system. (Refer to section 1.10 and 1.11) 1.14. The Contractor shall travel to APG, MD for equipment and control wire connections, start-up, commissioning, and acceptance testing of the dynamometer system. Specifically, this task shall include project management and engineering, installation supervision (one (1) day onsite meeting with Government personnel at the beginning of the project, three (3) days for onsite installation supervision, one (1) day installation inspection, and phone support), a minimum of five (5) days of commissioning, and acceptance testing. The installation supervision and installation inspection shall be a separate trip from the commissioning and acceptance testing. The scope of work shall not include the electrical and mechanical installation work. 1.15. The Contractor shall provide an onsite training session of the AC dynamometer system for up to five (5) individuals. The onsite training shall be provided at a separate trip from the commissioning and acceptance testing to give practice time to the Government employees before the training. 1.16. The Contractor shall provide all dynamometer application programs and hardware documents and DVDs to the Government. 1.17 The Contractor shall provide at minimum one (1) cooling column (include two (2) cooling columns if required for the engines listed) and its parts including hose kits for the engines listed in Table 1. The cooling column shall be mounted on a cart for mobility. The UEL engine is an air-cooled engine thus does not require a cooling column. 1.18 The Contractor shall provide at minimum one (1) flexible engine cart (include two (2) engine carts if required for the engines listed) and its parts to mount the engines listed in Table 1. The Government shall provide schematic of the Lycoming and UEL engine setups within seven (7) days after contract award. 1.19. The warranty shall be started from the first day of the customer's operation. *********Please Reference Attached for Drawings and Specifications.
