MEP National Network Open Supplier Scouting Opportunities

We are seeking vendors who can provide made-in-America engine test cell hardware, software, and services to include: • A fuel measurement module capable of supplying diesel fuel at 125 kg/hr for engine consumption and 650 l/hr for recirculation, with flow rate measurement accuracy meeting CFR 1065-307(f). Accuracy must not be affected by pressure waves or changes in flow rate caused by normal transient or steady-state operation of the engine. • A temperature conditioning module capable of heating or cooling the fuel to any setpoint between 20°C and 45°C and maintaining fuel temperature to within 1°C of the setpoint. • Installation of the above components in the HD5 test cell at the US EPA National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This includes all plumbing and electrical connections necessary for full functionality. • Integration of the above components with an existing AVL PR3 fuel pressure control module in the HD5 test cell. Alternatively, you may replace the PR3 with your own pressure control module that duplicates or exceeds the performance and functionality of the PR3 module. • Integration of the above components with the HD5 test site’s Horiba STARS host automation system for fuel flow/pressure/temperature reporting and for remote operator control of the fuel system from the test site’s operator console. The systems you provide must have a substantial level of acceptance in the North American automotive testing industry.
