ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS: The unit shall be provided with the following minimum characteristics. 1. Co-Solvent Process. The degreaser shall be capable of degreasing aircraft engine components using a co-solvent or single solvent process utilizing 3M Hydrofluoroether materials, HFE-7100, HFE-71DE, and solvating agents 24 and 70 from Petrofirm. 2. Dual Sump. The degreaser shall be a dual sump type consisting of a boil chamber and a rinse chamber. The working (inside) dimensions of each sump shall be at least 24 inches long by 20 inches wide by 18 inches deep. 3. Construction. All internal surfaces shall be constructed of stainless steel compatible with the process fluid and shall be seamlessly welded and leak free. Exterior surfaces shall be of coated or non- coated metal that is compatible with the 3M Hydrofluoroether materials. The footprint of the degreaser shall not exceed 130inches by 60 inches. 4. Refrigeration. Equipment or material containing Class 1 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) shall not be used in the system. The system shall be capable of maintaining primary refrigeration from 35-45 degrees F. and secondary refrigeration to minus 20 degrees F. or colder. The secondary refrigeration shall create a blanket of cold air across both sumps at least 8 inches deep. The unit shall have separate refrigeration systems to supply both primary and secondary cooling. The refrigeration capacity shall at a minimum exceed the heaters capacity by 110%. The system shall be a stand-alone unit and shall not require mechanical ventilation for safe operation. 5. Filter System. Both sumps shall be equipped with a re-circulating filtration system to clean the fluid to 5 microns absolute in the boil sump and 1 micron absolute in the rinse sump. The filter flow rate shall be compatible with the pump provided. The filters shall be standard size and readily available. Both filters shall have shutoff valves. 6. Ultrasonics. Both sumps shall have a 38-42 kHz, sinusoidal-sweep, wave type ultrasonic generator. The power shall be adjustable from 0-50 watts per gallon of fluid capacity. The transducers shall be mounted opposite the heaters. 7. Freeboard Ratio. The unit shall have a freeboard ratio of at least 1.25:1. 8. Water Separator. The system shall be equipped with a water separator sized for a minimum residence cycle time of 5 minutes. 9. Spray Wand. The tank shall be equipped with a stainless steel spray wand system. A spare set of spray nozzles shall be provided with the unit. 10. Cover. The unit shall be equipped with a leak proof stainless steel cover to prevent vapor loss into the room when the process is unattended or when the process is not used. The cover shall be secured when in the open position. 11. Pumps. All pumps and seals shall be compatible with 3M Hydorfluoroether materials and shall be constructed of stainless steel. The pumps shall be seal-less and provide a flow that causes a change rate of 6 tanks per hour. 12. Heaters. The heaters shall be sized to maintain a boiling rate that produces the appropriate condensate flow rate. A proportional integral controller (PID) shall regulate heater control. One heater shall operate from zero loads to full heating capacity. A second heater shall be provided to maintain a specific temperature to maximize fluid recovery. Heater skin temperature shall not exceed 392 degrees F. Heat density shall not exceed 20 watts per square inch. 13. Safety Vapor Control Sensor. The unit shall be equipped with a safety vapor control sensor that turns off heat automatically if vapors rise above the primary cooling coil. The control shall be manually reset. 14. High Temperature Control. The unit shall be equipped with a high temperature control that will turn off the heat if the heating element becomes too hot. The control shall be manually reset. 15. Liquid Temperature Control. The unit shall be equipped with a digital temperature display of the liquid temperature and liquid temperature control switch that turn off the heat based on a set point of the boiling solvent tank. The switch shall be manually reset. 16. Low-level Control. The unit shall be equipped with a switch that shuts off the heat if the liquid solvent level is too low. The switch shall be self-resetting. 17. Vapors Up Pump Control. The unit shall be equipped with a vapor up control that will shut off the spray pump to prevent solvent from being sprayed above the cold air blanket or if the vapor level is too low. The switch shall be self-resetting. 18. Electrical Power. The unit shall operate from a 480 VAC, 3 phase, 60-hertz electrical power source. 19. Baskets. Four stainless steel baskets shall be provided sized appropriately for the inside (working) dimensions of the tank. 20. Codes.
