II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This specification defines the general technical requirements and scope for the design, manufacture, testing, delivery and commissioning of up to 3 nº air cooled water chillers to replace failing units located on the existing R5.1 platform.
The assembly forms part of the ISIS Neutron Science Research facility at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Chilton, Oxfordshire, part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
The chillers will be located in the space vacated by the failing TC/SRAT/LN-1202 chillers.
The replacement chillers will fit broadly within the same foot print as the old units. The footprint for each chiller shall not exceed 4,9 m in length and 2,3 m in width. There is no height restriction except as required for safe access for personnel carrying out any maintenance.
There is a weight restriction because of the design and condition of the existing R5.1 steel platform.
No single chiller will exceed 4,5 tonnes in weight when fully loaded with refrigerant.
