About this file
This document appears to be the Salient Characteristics for a nitrogen booster system under Solicitation FA480324QB0015 for the 77th EPU Booster. The salient characteristics detail the key technical specifications for the nitrogen booster, including dimensions, inlet and outlet connections, pressure ranges, and specific components such as pressure gauges. The nitrogen booster is required to boost nitrogen pressure from as low as 700 PSI up to 3200-3500 PSI to fully service emergency power units (EPUs) on aircraft. This will help address a shortfall where the existing nitrogen bottles can only service 8 aircraft before needing recharging, impacting aircraft turnaround time. The salient characteristics ensure the nitrogen booster operates effectively within the defined parameters to meet this requirement. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation under the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, seeking the provision of this nitrogen booster system.

Input Gas Inlet:
Connection Size: 1/4" NPT Pressure: 3000 PSI max
Air Drive Inlet:
Connection Size: 1/4" NPT Pressure: 125 PSI max
Output Gas Outlet:
Connection Size: 1/4" NPT Pressure: 4500 PSI max
Pressures Relief Valve Setting:
Adjustable: 100-1900 PSI Typical setting: 2750 PSI
Inlet APS (Air Pressure Setting):
Adjustable: 150-750 PSI Typical setting: 2500 PSI
Outlet APS:
Adjustable: 2500-6500 PSI Typical setting: 2500 PSI
Additional Information Test Procedure Settings:
Drive pressure: 100 PSI max Relief valve set to: 1000 PSI during testing System is checked for leakage at full system pressure
These specifications ensure that the nitrogen booster operates effectively within the defined parameters for various applications, including boosting nitrogen pressure for emergency power units and other systems requiring high-pressure nitrogen gas.
Specific Components (General Assumption Based on Industry Standards)
• Pressure Gauges: Typically stainless steel or brass.
• Relief Valve: Stainless steel body with elastomeric seals.
• Regulator: Stainless steel or brass with elastomeric seals.
• Filter (Air Drive): Housing could be stainless steel or aluminum, with filter elements possibly made from sintered bronze or stainless steel mesh.
• Tubing and Fittings: High-pressure stainless steel tubing and fittings to handle the maximum pressures specified.
Given the high-pressure applications, these materials ensure reliability, safety, and longevity of the nitrogen booster system. For precise material specifications, detailed component datasheets or manufacturer guidelines should be referred to.
Pressure Gauges
1. Inlet Pressure Gauge:
• Component ID: 15 (Item 2 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 57978
• Description: Pressure Gauge, 2-1/2" Dial, 0-6000 PSI
2. Outlet Pressure Gauge:
• Component ID: 16 (Item 3 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 57977
• Description: Pressure Gauge, 2-1/2" Dial, 0-160 PSI
3. Relief Valve Gauge:
• Component ID: 11 (Item 12 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 29354
• Description: Relief Valve, 100-1900 PSI
Additional Gauge Information
• Gauge Type: Bourdon tube pressure gauges (common for high-pressure applications)
• Dial Size: 2-1/2 inches in diameter, providing clear visibility for pressure readings
• Pressure Range:
• Inlet Gauge: 0-6000 PSI, suitable for monitoring high-pressure gas inlet
• Outlet Gauge: 0-160 PSI, suitable for monitoring regulated output pressure
• Relief Valve Gauge: Adjustable from 100 to 1900 PSI to ensure safe operation and prevent over-pressurization
These gauges are essential for monitoring the system's input and output pressures, ensuring that the nitrogen booster operates within the specified parameters. The relief valve gauge helps in setting and verifying the relief pressure to maintain system safety.
