- MSHA IS SEEKING QUOTES FOR THE FOLLOWING: QTY. 1 – ESX-4CA PLATINOUS TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY CHAMBER QTY. 1 – DRY AIR PURGE QTY. 1 – WATER FILTER SYSTEM FOR HUMIDITY SUPPLY QTY. 1 – HUMIDITY WATER SUPPLY TANK QTY. 1 – INNER GLASS DOOR WITH FOUR OPERATION PORTS (NO OUTER WINDOW/LIGHT) QTY. 1 – CABLE PORT, 2” DIAMETER WITH TWO FLEXIBLE SILICONE PLUGS Below are specifications for Environmental Chamber: 1. Temperature Range: -73C to +150C 2. Humidity Range: 10 to 90% 3. Load: The test specimen dimensions vary; the chamber is used for approval testing of gas detectors used in underground mining. The largest system has included components (non-portable) that weigh up to 40lbs; heat output of specimens is not specified, but all external surfaces of tested equipment is routinely carried by, or manipulated by hand (surfaces certainly less than 40C). 4. Heating Rate: Rapid changes in temperature not needed, either up or down. Test procedures allows 1 hour between tests, which are conducted at 5 F intervals. In other words, we allow the samples to soak for 1 hour after the air temperature has stabilized. 5. Cooling Rate: See above 6. Power: 220VAC/60Hz [Single or 3-Phase OK] 7. Interior size: 27 to 32 cubic feet 8. Exterior size: Size limitations: The door to get into the lab is 93” by 84”. The lab height is ~12 feet. 9. Facilities: Water Reservoir for humidity supply (plumbed line available, but reservoir desired) 10. Test standards: Most tests are custom from Title 30 CFR Parts 22 and 27. See http://www.msha.gov/30cfr/22.0.htm and http://www.msha.gov/30cfr/27.0.htm. The standard test procedures can be found at http://www.msha.gov/TECHSUPP/ACC/StandardTestProcs/ASTP2203.pdf, http://www.msha.gov/TECHSUPP/ACC/StandardTestProcs/ASTP2228.pdf, http://www.msha.gov/TECHSUPP/ACC/StandardTestProcs/ASTP2229.pdf. The chamber will be used for custom tests of equipment recovered from mine explosions; low humidity (approximately 10%RH) may rarely be desirable. 11. Controller: Programmable 12. Window: Observation Window (or equivalent) 13. Communication: Serial (RS-232, RS485, USB, etc.) OR parallel (GPIB), OR analog outputs of temperature and humidity 13. # of Access Ports One 2” Port for electrical cords and gas tubing 14. Gloves port: One set (or equivalent) 15. Shelves: One set (see Load above) 16. Interior light: One (if necessary for visibility) PLEASE PROVIDE QUESTIONS VIA E-MAIL BY 04/28.
