REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY -- NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE***. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is seeking sources and/or information on a shipboard compatible, seawater cooled water chiller to provide chilled water for a test bench with 339,000 BTU/hr of heat rejection. The test bench will accept chilled water from 60 degrees F to 65 degrees F and return water heated to 85 degrees F back to the chiller. Chilled water should be supplied to the test stand at a minimum of 40 psi and at a flowrate not exceeding 35 gpm. The seawater can be supplied to the chiller condenser at a rate up to 120 gpm at a temperature of 90 degrees F. Available power is 440 VAC 60Hz, three phase ungrounded. Chiller refrigerant shall be R-22, or non-ozone depleting (e.g. R-134a). If available chillers can use either R-22 or a non-ozone depleting provide information on both systems. Provide vendor literature on the available chiller(s) that meet above requirements. Include chiller size, weight, operating and inrush amps, recommended refrigerant, location of access panels for maintenance and repair, and a photo or drawing of unit(s). Due to the limited volume of shipboard space available for a chiller, provide information on chillers with te least envelope dimensions and indicate if the units could be mounted horizontally and/or vertically. Interested sources with this information may respond with a statement of general interest, capability, and/or descriptive information by 3 June 1997 to the Naval Air Warfare Center, Code 213JV, Hwy 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733.
