Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, is seeking proposals for a specialized engineering project: - Procuring the design, fabrication, integration, and commissioning of a high-speed modular test bench for evaluating carbon sealing systems in turbines - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the solicitation - The test bench must: - Operate at up to 35,000 rpm, 500°C, and 6 bar differential pressure - Provide traceable measurements of friction torque, leakage, radial displacement, and temperature distribution - Support automated testing sequences, modular expansion, and synchronized data acquisition - Project requirements include: - Factory and site acceptance testing - Comprehensive documentation (spare parts lists, procedures) - Training for personnel - Compliance with detailed technical specifications (Annex 23) and safety standards - Delivery is phased over 12 months, covering all stages from design to training

Description

This procurement is for the design, fabrication, integration, and commissioning of a high-speed modular test bench to evaluate carbon sealing systems for turbines. The test bench must operate at speeds up to 35,000 rpm, temperatures up to 500°C, and differential pressures up to 6 bar, with precise measurements of friction torque, leakage, radial displacement, and temperature distribution. The system will be modular, instrumented for synchronized data acquisition, and capable of automated testing sequences. The project includes factory and site acceptance testing, spare parts documentation, and compliance with detailed technical specifications. Delivery is scheduled in phases over 12 months, including design, manufacturing, testing, and training.
