Market Research Specification: 1.0Purpose: The purpose of this document is to identify specific capabilities of potential vendors or suppliers to satisfy a Government agency need for a possible future Government solicitation. This specification is only for the purpose of collecting information and does not obligate the Government in any way to solicit or accept any quotation for goods or services from any vendor or supplier. 2.0Scope: The goods and services that would be required for the potential Government solicitation are related to the supply and installation of equipment and components used to replace part of an existing hydraulic system on a Government vessel. This will be necessary to eliminate obsolescence problems experienced with the existing system. Equipment and components would include the following: Hydraulic Pump Assembly Hydraulic Control Manifold Assembly Electrical Controls The services required would include the following: Design of closed-loop hydraulic system and equipment Design of electrical control system and equipment Design of system alterations Integration of new equipment and components Supply of all new equipment and components Material and engineering required for any necessary alterations to existing equipment, components, piping and electrical controls Startup and troubleshooting Customer Training Logistics documentation Spare parts 3.0General Equipment Specifications: 3.1 Pump Assembly: The Pump Assembly shall include a variable displacement axial piston pump, charge pump, electric motor, flexible coupling, base plate, relief valves, and isolation valves. The pump assembly foundation (approx. dim. 20” x53”). The main pump shall have the following approximate characteristics: Operating Pressure3000 psi constant 5000 psi intermittent Flow-52.5 gpm to 0 to +52.5 gpm ControlServo valve (+20 mA full stroke) Hyraulic Fluid MIL-L-17672 type 2135TH The charge pump shall have the following approximate characteristic: Operating Pressure280 psi Flow10.3 gpm The motor shall have the following approximate characteristics: Horsepower40hp Power Requirement s440 vac / 3 ph / 60 Hz DutyContinuous Design B EnclosureTEFC Slip<5% 3.2. Manifold Assembly: The hydraulic manifold assembly shall be furnished with all associated valves, fittings and associated components required for installation and operation. The manifold assembly shall be designed for installation using the existing manifold assembly foundation (dim. 19” x 23.5”). Basic functions of the manifold circuit are shown on the manifold diagram. The hydraulic manifold for this closed-loop system controls hydraulic flow and pressure from the pump assembly (both main pump and charge pump) and shall provide flow, pressure and direction control of hydraulic fluid to two external hydraulic cylinders. The charge pump will provide pilot pressure to the manifold (as well as to the main pump) for pilot actuated devices. Cartridge type components shall be used for all pressure relief valves, unloading valves and check valves. All components and fittings shall be SAE straight thread w/O-ring style. The manifold shall have two supply ports to receive and return pump flow. One port will act as a supply line from the pump while the other is a return line to the pump and vice versa depending on the direction that the pump is flowing. The manifold shall also have two discharge ports that will provide supply and return flow from the hydraulic cylinders. As with the supply ports, one of the discharge ports will act as a supply line to the cylinders while the other port is a return line from the cylinders vice versa depending on the direction that the cylinders are being operated. The manifold shall include supply and return lines for flow from and to the charge pump. The manifold shall include check type check valves at appropriate points in the hydraulic circuit. The manifold shall include pilot pressure actuated valving to permit unloading of main pump flow without lifting the pressure relief valves. This valve shall also hydraulically lock the cylinders when unloading the pump flow. The manifold shall include an accumulator to absorb system shock or pressure surges due to sudden stopping or reversal of oil flow. The manifold shall be equipped with test port fittings and air bleed fittings at all appropriate locations in the hydraulic circuit. Ports for pressure transmitters shall be furnished on the manifold for both the discharge lines to the cylinders. The manifold shall be fitted with isolation valves at appropriate locations within the hydraulic circuit. 3.3. Gyro Assembly: The gyroscope should be able to measure pitch, pitch rate, yaw, yaw rate, roll, roll rate, and accelerations. The gyroscope must be able to send digital electronic signals to the PLC for interpretation. The gyroscope assembly shall be furnished with all associated fittings and associated components required for installation and operation. The gyroscope shall be designed for installation using the existing in the foot print of the existing gyroscope (No larger than 3’x3’x3’). 3.4 Electrical Controls: The supplier shall be responsible for a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) based control system that can receive + or – 15VDC signals. The control system shall consist of PLC system that can read these inputs and the inputs from the gyroscope in order to make calculated movements to the hydraulic system mentioned above. The control system shall have a manual override user-interface, a control panel, and display monitors. 4.0.
