Specifications of Aqualogic Titan Heat Pumps or Equal for Tempering Water for Fisheries Research Eastern Environmental Research Center at the S.O. Conte Research Laboratory

1. Objective: The Conte Research Lab (CRL) has a requirement to purchase Air-cooled Titan Heat Pumps or equivalent, including delivery, to their facility in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. To ensure continuity of service for ongoing long-term experiments only these specific units are acceptable unless a replacement with the exact performance specifications, dimensions and power and water flow requirements can be substituted. Installation of heat pumps shall not be included in the bid. The facility manager at the CRL, Marty Garcia shall be the Contracting Officers Representative for this procurement.

2. Scope of Work: The project involves delivery of seven 5-ton heat pumps and two 7-ton heat pumps with attached flow-through heat exchanger designed for heating and cooling water, delivered on site. The equipment shall be unloaded by facility staff, but the crating shall allow for handling with fork trucks.

3. Technical Requirements: Heat pumps are to exactly meet all specifications of Aqualogic HP-5 and HP-7 as listed below 5-ton Heat Pumps

· Heating/cooling in same unit

· 5-ton Trane or equivalent condensing unit

· Mounted on stainless steel stand

· Overall dimensions shall be no greater than 75”Hx56”Lx38”W

· Overall weight shall not be more than 600 pounds

· Power requirements shall be 208/240V single phase 25RLA/148LRA

· Titanium heat exchanger in insulated 8” PVC shell

· 2” inlet and process water outlet

· 30-60GPM capacity with field installable flow switch

· Digital Dual-stage Temperature Controller with the following specifications:

1. Push button controls for easy programming of set points, differential, and heating/cooling mode

2. Keypad lockout to prevent tampering

3. Non-volatile memory which retains control settings during power outages

4. Programmable in Fahrenheit or Celsius

5. Differential programmable to 1ºF

6. Titanium encapsulated sensor

7. Microprocessor based operation

8. Power cord and remote sensor on 8ft cable

9. NEMA 4x rated water tight enclosure

10. Rated for indoor/outdoor use

11. Plug-in design, interchangeable with other units

10-ton Heat Pumps

· Heating/cooling in same unit

· 10-ton Trane or equivalent condensing unit

· Overall weight shall not be more than 850 pounds

· Power requirements shall be 208/230V three phase 40RLA/278LRA

· Titanium heat exchanger in insulated 8” PVC shell

· 2” inlet and process water outlet

· 60-120GPM capacity with field installable flow switch

· Digital Dual-stage Temperature Controller with the following specifications:

1. Push button controls for easy programming of set points, differential, and heating/cooling mode

2. Keypad lockout to prevent tampering

3. Non-volatile memory which retains control settings during power outages

4. Programmable in Fahrenheit or Celsius

5. Differential programmable to 1ºF

6. Titanium encapsulated sensor

7. Microprocessor based operation

8. Power cord and remote sensor on 8ft cable

9. NEMA 4x rated water tight enclosure

10. Rated for indoor/outdoor use

11. Plug-in design

4. Deliverables: Contractor shall deliver heat pumps in complete working order, no damages to enclosure or any components shall be present. Heat pumps shall be inspected and approved upon delivery by COR before payment is made. Contractor will repair any deficiencies present from manufacturing, equipment installation or delivery at their cost. The contractor will provide schedule for delivery within 10 working days of award issuance. Any delays will be communicated to the COR as soon as they are encountered.
