One generator is non-functional and requires replacement. The contractor shall disconnect and remove the existing Steris Power Pack Electric Steam Boiler (Part # CH13-861-500, S/N 50087), install a new Steris Power Pack Electric Steam Generator (Part # CH13861) in the same location, and reconnect it to existing water, power, and discharge lines. The new unit must be an electric model rated for 150 kilowatts with output of 476.3 pounds per hour. Work includes system testing, site cleanup, and proper disposal of the old unit. Place of performance is 801 Summit Crossing Place, Suite B, Gastonia, North Carolina 28054, in the warehouse area.

N/A
The contractor shall disconnect the existing steam generator at 801 Summit Crossing Place, Suite B, Gastonia, NC 28054 in the warehouse area. A old unit is a Steris Power Pack Electric Steam Boiler Part # CH13-861-500, S/N 50087. The old unit shall be removed from the property and disposed of properly. The installation site shall be cleaned up to remove any trash or debris generated by the installation.
The unit to be installed is a Steris Power Pack Electric Steam Generator, Part # CH13861. It shall be installed in the same location replacing the old unit and utilizing the same water, power, and discharge lines that are currently in place.
The current system in the National Science Laboratories – Gastonia includes 2 Steris steam generators (one not working) and 4 Steris autoclaves. The autoclaves and steam generators are designed to work together and the building has plumbed the steam discharge lines to work with the current configuration. Steris is the manufacturer, installer, and service provider for this equipment.
This laboratory equipment is very sensitive and creates very high pressure and high temperature steam. When the system is not balanced with proper steam generation, it can create inferior working conditions and hazards. The system at the lab is designed to work together and thus, the lab is opting to simply swap out a non-functioning generator for a new replacement.
