All components shall be mounted on a single common frame with four (4) lockable casters including switch box, pumps, heat exchangers, and heaters. The unit shall control oil pressures up to 5.5 barg and coolant pressure between 3 and 6 barg with the accuracy of less than +/- 1% for each controller. Power requirement: 480VAC three (3) phase 15 Ampere. The equipment should completely assembled and mounted standalone unit with rust-proof coating and painting. Delivery within 6 months. The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal.
