Description

TPS LLC (UEI: EDN3VLXQVK55) using FAR Part 12 procedures. The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain a Tenny Cevo-20S environmental test chamber to replace the current Tenney environmental chamber.  The Tenny Cevo-20S environmental test chamber meets all the specified requirements when compared to the current Tenney Model T20S-2.0. See the brand-source justification for further details.  

A review of Thermal Product Solutions (TPS) replacement parts vendor for the current Tenney chamber resulted in no compatible parts for potential repairs. Other replacement options provide similar performance yet are too large for exterior dimensions to fit lab space. Additionally, testing requires that entire instruments fit within the interior space of the environmental chamber, preferably two at once for expedited testing. Further, other options require special power requirements that NGC does not possess (3-Phase AC power or 480V supply).
