Description
The Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division is seeking a quotation for an ultrasonic spray system to be used in the Propulsion Systems Evaluation Facility. The system should be able to spray a saltwater solution into the intake of an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to mimic the environment experienced by the APU at sea. The system should consist of a controller, nozzle, and pump with associated cables and hoses, and should be able to sustain a flow rate of up to 2 mL/min per nozzle. The system should also be able to remotely start/stop the flow of solution and have ethernet for external monitoring and control. The contractor should provide the system, nozzles, spray caps, controller, pump, cables, and hoses, as well as documentation and manuals. The system should be delivered to the PSEF building at Patuxent River Naval Air Station within 6 weeks of the award date.
• The system should be compatible with a spray solution containing NaCl, Na2SO4, MgCl2, CaCl2, and H2O.
• The system should be able to measure and change flow rate remotely.
• The system should be able to produce droplet sizes as small as 4 m and as large as 13 m.
• The system should be able to flush with freshwater for maintenance purposes.
• The controller should interface with the pump and nozzle to spray solution.
• The cable between the controller and nozzle should be 5-meter or longer.
• The power cable should have a NEMA 5-15 plug for North America.
