AI Contract Overview

The Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center is seeking potential sources to provide a specialized high vacuum system designed for studies on radiative thermal management. The system will be used to investigate personal thermal management by isolating the radiative component of heat flow through advanced polymeric films and fibers, effectively minimizing thermal convection. The required equipment is a cubic, polished stainless steel vacuum chamber measuring between 20 and 24 inches per side, featuring a hinged door, high emissivity interior paint, and the ability to reach a target pressure between 1.0e-6 and 1.0e-5 torr. Key technical specifications include various feedthrough ports for temperature probes and electrical power, specific ISO and QF flanges, and an internal temperature control system ranging from -20C to 80C. The system must be self-contained in a stand or cabinet and include a vacuum gauge and a re-pressurization system. Optional features include an IR transparent window and the ability to mount an IR camera. This is a sources sought announcement for information and planning purposes only, not a solicitation for proposals, with an anticipated delivery lead time of 12 weeks.

Full Description

This Sources Sought Announcement is to assist the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) to identify potential sources to provide a special vacuum system for studies of radiative thermal management The Government requests that responses be submitted electronically to mary.k.prebensen.civ@mail.mil and richard.m.osgood.civ@mail.mil by August 6, 2018 by 5pm EST. Background: The Government is in need of a high vacuum chamber to investigate personal thermal management by passive radiative heating and/or cooling through novel arrays of polymeric films and fibers. To assess the thermal properties of these advanced polymeric films and fibers developed at NSRDEC, a vacuum chamber will be procured which will allow for the isolation and study of the radiative component of heat flow through these materials. The high vacuum chamber will bring new in-house capabilities by allowing for the interrogation of thermal radiative performance of materials by minimizing the effects of other heat transfer modalities such as through thermal convection. Our requirements must encompass the following specifications. A cubic, stainless steel vacuum chamber with dimensions of 20-24" by 20-24" by 20-24" with a hinged door. The vacuum chamber will reach a target pressure between 1.0e-6 to 1.0e-5 torr. The chamber will contain numerous flanges and flow-through ports for optimum modular functionalities for future upgrades. Key features include 1) flow through ports for temperature probes, 2) flow through ports for powering heater devices inside the chamber to simulate body skin temperature (~34C) under the film/fabric sample, and 3) ideally, the ability to control the temperature inside the low pressure chamber environment around the film/fabric sample. Optional features include 1) An IR transparent window at the top of the chamber 2) ability to mount an IR camera on the top of the chamber, Requirements: General Specifications: - Chamber dimensions: L: min 20-24", W: min 20-24", and H: min 20-24" - Hinged door - Stainless steel and polished - Four 4 inch viewports (top side of chamber) - Feedthrough ports o for temperature probes (thermocouple, RTD, and thermistor) o for electrical power - Vacuum pumping ports - Flange o ISO-LF-DN100 (NW100) (quantity = 1) o QF40-100-LF (NW40) S3 (quantity = 1) o QF40-100-LF (NW40) SS, with Blank (quantity = 3) - Vacuum chamber and pumps self-contained in a stand/cabinet. - Interior painted in high emissivity paint. Specific Specifications: ? 50-pin D-sub vacuum feed in LF100 flange ? Vacuum pump system: with ultimate pressure of 1e-6 to 1e-5 torr ? Manual or automatic re-pressurization system. ? Vacuum gauge ? Test system testing and validation. ? Internal chamber temperature control - Temperature range from -20C to 80C - Heating and cooling unit control by either of the two methods below: o Thermal Shroud/Cooler with liquid coolant pumped o Thermoelectric heater/cooler o Optional ? Viewport on door with shutter ? Uni-axial or XY linear translational actuator ? Chamber interior light Deliverables: Complete vacuum system Delivery Date: The Government anticipates 12 weeks lead time for this commercial item. Please identify timeframe required for delivery.
