II.1.4) Short description
Brunel University London is currently inviting tenders for the supply and delivery of two singlecylinder
research engines to be used for the research and development of combustion and engine control
technologies for zero carbon fuels. The Requirement has been split into two Lots; Lot 1- A single cylinder
research engine for heavy good vehicles application Lot 2 - A single cylinder research engine for marine
application Tenderers can bid for any of the two Lots or both. The Potential Supplier will be expected to
provide (or be able to provide access to) pre-sales technical advice and support, and have a good
understanding of the key features and aspects of the equipment they are selling to the University.
Proposals should be based on the following technical requirements; Technical Specification (1) Lot 1- A
single cylinder research engine for heavy good vehicles application The engine should meet below
specifications Number of cylinders [-] Single cylinder Number of valves per cylinder [-] 4 (2 intake valves
and 2 exhaust valves) Number of strokes [-] 4 Range of cylinder bore [mm] 130 – 150 Range of cylinder
stroke [mm] 150 – 180 Range of compression ratio [-] 12 - 16 Range of rated engine power [kW] > 60
Range of rated engine speed [rpm] > 1000 Range of peak engine torque [N·m] > 300 Range of peak
cylinder pressure [bar] > 150 Fuel system hydrogen, ammonia (2) Lot 2 - A single cylinder research engine
for marine application The engine should meet below specifications: Number of cylinders [-] Single
cylinder Number of valves per cylinder [-] 4 (2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves) Number of strokes [-] 4
Range of cylinder bore [mm] 180 – 200 Range of cylinder stroke [mm] 200 – 230 Range of compression
ratio [-] > 12 Range of rated engine power [kW] > 100 Range of rated engine speed [rpm] > 1000 Range
of peak engine torque [N·m] > 800 Range of peak cylinder pressure [bar] > 150 Fuel system hydrogen,
ammonia with pilot liquid fuel injection The provided single-cylinder research engines should have
ignition systems, fuel injection systems, coolant systems and lubricant oil systems so that they can be
connected to external systems in test cells at Brunel engine lab. Relevant services should be included;
Training Technical Support Delivery, Commissioning, Installation and Acceptance
