35 -- INDUSTRIAL DUTY AIR CONDITIONERS 208V, 3 PHASE, 400 HZ DUE 050799 POC Jack Pendleton, 757 445-1444; Bill Shearer 757 443-1387 This is a sources sought for manufacturers/distributors on non developmental industrial duty air conditioners rated at 24,000 BTU with electrical operating characteristics of 208 Volt, 3 phase, 400 HZ. The intent is to identify sources that would be interested in providing commercially available replacement air conditioner units with high reliability and ease of maintenance, that could be modified for use aboard US Navy Landing Craft Air Cusion (LCAC) boats. These boats operate on 400 HZ power only, thus the electrical characteristics stated are critical. The currently installed air conditioner is approximately 33 inches wide, 30 inches deep and 20 inches high and held down with a bare restraining device over the top, in addition to four bolts that secure to the underside of the unit. It is physically mounted outside the boat above the cabin. The air conditioner is exposed to extreme operating conditions, especially severe salt spray, ultrviolet (UV) rays, inclement weather, and ship vibration/impact. As such, the unit must be rugged contruction, especially the frame, outer skin, and component mounting, be of water tight integrity including sealed access panels, and be coated with a paint, both internally and externally, that will provide maximum protection against sale water corrosion, UV damage, and normal wear and tear due to abrasion. The conditioned air feed is to a duct system that marries to the outer frame of the installed unit which will require slight modification to accomodate the duct. Interested companies shouldcontact Mr. Jack Pendleton or Mr. Bill Shearer at 757 445-1444 or 757 443-1387 respectfully. Facsimiles may be sent to 757 444-4417. A response is requested not later than 7 May 1999. Posted 04/27/99 (W-SN324852). (0117)
