- Description
- This synopsis is published pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.205(c), and is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. NOTE: There is no additional information available for release at this time. Verbal request for information will not be provided. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, SSES is seeking information regarding the potential use of commercially available, non-developmental and affordable gas turbine engine exhaust collector assemblies suitable, with minimal modifications, for the TF40B gas turbine engine exhaust collector assembly application on the U. S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Vehicle. In this application, the TF40B gas turbine engine exhaust gas flow discharges from the engine exhaust diffuser into the exhaust collector assembly. The exhaust collector a ssembly turns the exhaust flow from the horizontal to the vertical direction. The exhaust flow discharges thereafter to the vehicle exhaust stack. A gap exists between the top of the exhaust collector and the vehicle exhaust stack thereby forming an exhaust eductor arrangement for engine compartment cooling purposes. The gas turbine engine exhaust diffuser extends into the exhaust collector. The exhaust collector assembly is insulated. The insulated exhaust collector assembly must fit in the existing space constraints of the LCAC which are defined as follows for the purposes herein: approximately 25 in. L x 43 in. W x 54 in. H. The length dimension represents the depth of the insulated exhaust collector (which is situated behind the engine and envelopes the rear portion of the engine exhaust diffuser.) The exhaust collector assembly must be capable of accommodating the ex haust flow conditions defined as follows for the purposes herein: 29.5 lbs/sec at an exhaust temperature of 1275 F and a maximum pressure drop of 3 inches of water. (The exhaust collector handles the engine exhaust flow only. Engine compartment cooling flow is drawn by the engine exhaust flowing through the eductor arrangement.) The fuels utilized for this application are NATO F-76 and JP-5. The operating environment is that of a naval surface combatant in a salt laden atmosphere. This is not a solicitation/RFP and there are no known future requirements pending at this time. Any information (physical and performance characteristics, illustrations/drawings depicting the exhaust collector assembly, commercial applications, operating experience, development/production status, space and weight requirements, discussion on suitability for use on naval surface combatant ships, and availability, etc.) submitted relative to this request for information should be forwarded to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, SSES, 5001 S. Broad St., Code 3352, Attn: Karen Van Giesen, Philadelphia, PA 19112-1403 within 30 days of this announcement date.
