REQUIREMENTS 2.1 New Compressed-Air Unit. The new compressed-air unit shall consist of the following. 2.1.1 Two (2) each tank-mounted single-acting, two-stage, air-cooled, reciprocating-type, pressure-lubricated compressors. Cylinders shall be gray cast iron with deep cooling fins. Cylinders shall be bolted to the crankcase for ease of maintenance an d rebuild. Valve assemblies shall be capable of being removed individually without removing the gray cast iron head and inlet or discharge piping. The compressors shall have hardened and lapped disc-type valves for continuous service. There shall be tw o (2) pieces to the connecting rods with cast-in tubes for positive oil distribution to the piston pins. There shall be replacement inserts and wrist pin roller bearings. Low-pressure pistons shall be aluminum and the high-pressure pistons shall be gray cast iron. Low-pressure and high-pressure pistons shall each have three (3) automotive-type compression rings and one (1) automotive type oil ring. Crankshaft connecting rod insert bearings shall be steel-backed Babbitt-lined automotive type. Crankshaft s shall have integral counterweights and be rifle-drilled for pressure lubrication to insure positive oil distribution. Adjustable anti-friction taper roller bearings shall be mounted on the end of the crankshaft to take both radial and thrust loads. Com pressor flywheels shall be dynamically balanced and of the fan type. Finned intercoolers shall be an integral part of all two-stage units and located in the direct blast of air from the fan-type flywheel. Compressors shall be equipped with a crankshaft-d riven oil pump located in the bearing carrier for easy removal and inspection. There shall also be an oil filter located on the bearing carrier, as well as, a pre-filter screen in the crankcase to keep the oil clean. Low oil protection shall be a standar d feature of the compressors, as well as, automatic no load starting which will allow oil pressure to build before the air compressors load. The compressors shall be driven by EPACT rated high-efficiency electric 10-Hp ODP, 460/480V 3-phase, 60 Hz electr ic motor, at approximately 1,750 rpm, suitable for continuous operation. The motors shall be a NEMA T frame, squirrel cage, induction-type with an open-drip proof enclosure. The service factor on the motors shall be 1.15 and 1.25 on standard fractional motors. The compressor flywheels, motor flywheels and v-belts shall be totally enclosed within a metal belt guard to provide protection on all sides in accordance with OSHA specifications. The following items shall be mounted on each compressor: high a ir temperature switch, low oil pressure switch, crankcase heater, air cooled after cooler (mounted and piped), and electric automatic tank drain (mounted and piped). Compressor performance shall be 14 acfm @ 350 psig, operating as a booster 51 scfm @ 350 psig. The compressors shall be able to operate independently. Compressors shall alternate starts. The compressors and motors shall be mounted on an 80 gallon , ASME coded and National Board approved air receiver with 550 psi design pressure. The receiver shall include a safety valve, manual tank drain and pressure gage and a manual shut-off valve at the receiver outlet. Compressors shall be furnished with a s tarter control panel consisting of a NEMA 1 duplex alternator panel with single power source and fused disconnects, hour meters, lead/select, auto switch, test/off/run/switches, high air temperature, low oil pressure, motor overload shutdown. There shall be four (4) pressure switches, two (2) for each unit lead/lag. The lead/lag pressure switch shall be on at 340 psig and off at 350 psig, and the lag switch shall be on at 335 psig and off at 350 psig. The motor starter in the control panel shall be an IE C across-the-line magnetic contactor equipped with properly sized thermal overload protectors. Control panel shall have a control transformer large enough for the crankcase heaters. 2.1.2 One (1) each high-pressure refrigerated air dryer. The refrigerated air dryer shall be rated at 100 scfm at 350 psig full-load discharge pressure, 38 degree F dew point 115/1/160, air cooled and shall consist of a microprocessor, digital dew point readout, diagnostic display, electronic drain, high efficiency heat exchanged, integral cold point separator, dry contact for dew point alarm and dry contact for system alarm. 2.1.3 Particulate Filter. Filter shall be mounted before dryer and shall be rated at 100 scfm @ 350 psig. 2.1.4 Discharge Air Piping. All new discharge air piping shall be fabricated of Schedule 80 steel pipe. 2.2 Removal of Existing Compressors. The Contractor shall remove two (2) compressors and existing air piping to shutoff valves to tanks. Each compressor is approximately 76 L x 32 W x 70 H. The compressors and air piping shall become the pro perty of the Contractor and shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor off Government property. A Government furnished crane with operator will be available to assist the Contractor in removal of the existing compressors.
