Project Compressors Repairs & Testing

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The contractor is to remove and replace the VSD drive and control module on two Atlas Copco breathing air compressor, trouble shoot a third Atlas Copco compressor and two Deltech breathing air purifiers, and remove and replace one MK5 Touch Elektronikon Sequencer, located in the NBAF main lab. Work also includes de-energizing compressor, checking for correct voltage, uploading latest version of software, uploading counter and pressure setpoint/parameters, bump starting the compressor, starting the compressors, and monitoring all parameters, placing compressor back in service, and providing a service report.

2.0 Background

The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) is seeking a company with extensive knowledge and expertise servicing/repairing Atlas Copco compressors and Deltech Del-Monox equipment. The compressor model number is ZR75VSD-8.6, serial numbers APF218660, APF218333, and APF218661. The breathing air purifier model number is 775-DM, serial numbers 1000003274304, and 4000003274304. NBAF is designed to contain bio safety level (BSL) -2 through BSL-4 research studies. Contractors associated with maintenance of the facility should fully understand the construction types and maintenance methods associated with these facilities. The compressors and breathing air systems are in a non-containment portion of the facility, on the third floor. Downtime of the equipment during the service shall be kept to a minimum. The facility will be occupied during this work. The NBAF campus address is 1980 Denison Ave., Manhattan, KS.

The third compressor that needs trouble shooting will not run. The controller went down during electrical testing.

The breathing air purifiers (BAP) are purging too long. BAP 1 is operational, but when it purges it takes the primary breathing air pressure down to about 30 PSI. This should not occur, as it should only purge a bit of air.

It is expected to see a 10 to 15 psi drop, not 100 psi. BAP 2 is isolated because it purges all the air out of the system.
