Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking a gas fired air heater for the 3rd Air Stream at B18 Complex, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH. The heater should be capable of continuously producing heated compressed air at conditions listed in the specification. The system should include a burner, combustion air blower, combustion air damper, fuel train, and control system. The control system should utilize a master programmable logic controller (PLC) for monitoring all system functions and I/O interfaces. The system should also include safety features such as a flame safeguard system and pressure sensors.
Some key points to consider:
• The heater should be designed to operate at extreme outdoor temperatures.
• The system should include a packaged extended surface economizer.
• The control system should allow for user input to modify setpoints within the operational envelope of the air heater system.
• The system should include monitoring instruments such as pressure gauges, thermometers, and flow instruments.
