500-Ton Trailer-Mounted Air-Cooled Chiller

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is seeking information from potential sources for a 500-Ton Trailer-Mounted Air-Cooled Chiller. The chiller is required to be integrated with the trailer, but the chiller and trailer may be provided by separate vendors. The scope of work includes providing an electrically powered, air-cooled hydronic chiller mounted to a Department of Transportation (DOT) rated trailer with associated electrical cabling and chilled water hoses and connections. The chiller must be capable of a chilled water temperature differential between supply and return flows of 10°F to 14°F at design conditions. Some key points to consider are: • The chiller must be electrically powered, air-cooled, and have a cooling capacity of 500 refrigeration tons or 1758 kilowatts. • The trailer must be DOT-rated and have a load capacity of 25 tons or greater. • The chiller and trailer must be provided with startup certification, documentation, and auxiliary spare parts necessary for normal operation. • The contractor must provide a capability statement of no more than five pages, including company information, data universal numbering system (DUNS) number, and cage code. • The contractor must also provide feedback on the proposed solution, including information on corrosion protection, legacy tube-and-fin condenser coils, and Government technician access to local chiller settings.
