61 -- GENERATOR SETS, DIESEL FUELED, SKID, MOUNTED TACTICAL QUIET, 3 KILOWATT, 60 HZ AND 400 HZ POC Ms Betty J. Smith, Contracting Officer, (314) 263-0678 Ms Shirley Ross, Contract Specialist, (314) 263-2573. A 3 Kilowatt (kw) 0.8 Power Factor (pf), 400-Hertz (Hz) and 60-Hz Alternating Current (ac), Diesel Fueled Electric Power Generation Systems and Components Due 7 July 1995, POC Contact Point, Paul Richard (703) 704-2648. Sources sought for a 3 kw 0.8 (pf), 400-Hz and 60-Hz (ac), diesel fueled electric power generation systems and components. The U S ARMY CECOM PIPE-SOUTH Ft. Belvoir requests information from research, development or manufacturing sources regarding availability of 3 kw 0.8 (pf), 40-Hz and 60-Hz (ac), diesel fueled electric power generation systems and components. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. The Government will not pay for information submitted. Request that specific product literature, technical information as well as organization profile be suplied not later than 7 July 1995 to: US ARMY COMMUNICATIONS-ELECTRONICS COMMAND, BELVOIR DIVISION PRODUCT INTERGRITY And PRODUCTION ENGINEERING (PIPE) SOUTH DIRECTORATE, 10115 GRIDLEY ROAD, Suite 228 (ATTN: AMSEL-LC-ED-BG; PAUL RICHARD), Fort BELVOIR, VIRGINIA 22060-5849. It is requested that information still be provided even if the diesel fueled electric power generation system only partially meets the U.S. ARMY requirements. All proprietary and restricted information shall be cleary marked. As used herein, 3 kw 0.8 (pf) electric power generation systems shall include a diesel fueled engine, brushless generator, and all normal operating controls and protective devices. Future Mobile Electric Power (MEP) 3 kw generator requirements are to be met with a diesel fueled engine and brushless generator; the equipment must provide full rated power over the full range of military ambient operating conditions (+120 degree F to -25 degree F), including 1,000 feet 107 degree F, and meet MIL-STD-1332 (Electical Performance Characteristics Parameters - Alternating Current Generator Sets) Utility Class 2C requirements. Output frequencies of these sets are 400-Hz and 60-Hz. Voltage and phase connections for these sets are 120-volt single phase, 120/240-volt single phase, 120-volt three phase, and 120/208-volt three phase. The audio noise sound pressure levels (SPL) for these sets are from 70 to 75 dB(A) at 7 meters from the set and 85 dB(A) at 0.7 meter from any point on the control panel. The sets shall also have a 24-volt starter system along with a 24-volt standard NATO slave receptacle, if the set weight is lower than 325 pounds (without the battery) it shall also have a manual starting system. The sets shall be storable at any possible humidity from +160 degree F to -60 degree F and in a salt-fog environment. Include an onboard fuel tank capable of supporting up to eight hours of continuous operation at rated load and also have the capability of operating from external fuel sources. The set shall be operable when sited in any direction on uneven terrain with grades up to 15 degree. The engine exhaust shall exit the set in an upward direction. The set shall provide automatic shutdown (with manual override) due to over speed, low fuel, low oil pressure, high temperature and over voltage. The operator of the set shall be able to adjust the voltage and frequency from the control panel. The sets shall survive the effects of HAEMP and meet standard military EMI requirements. The minimum reliability of the set shall be 500 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) at a 90% Lower Confidence Level (LCL). The sets must also be marine, rail, highway, and air transportable. The set weight shall no exceed 400 pounds and have dimensions that do not exceed a length of 44 inches, a width of 32 inches and a height of 34 inches. Sources are being sought in three areas; electric power generation systems, brushless synchronous generators, and batteries. (a) Electrical Power Generation Systems shall have the same characteristics of those listed above for the future 3 kw MEP generator set. (b) Brushless Generators shall meet MIL-STD-1332 Utility Class 2C power requirements. (c) Batteries shall be rechargeable, non-liquid, valve-regulated, maintenance-free, and sealed. The batteries shall have sufficient capacity to operate over the full range of military ambient operating conditions. (0170)
