CCRFP ARIES HPU19 - Hydraulic Power Unit System for Landing Gear Innovation Laboratory

The purpose of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is to obtain a price from Hydraulic Power Unit system suppliers to deliver, install, integrate, and commission a Hydraulic Power Unit system.  Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) system will provide pressurized fluid to a hydraulic manifold for controlling landing gear actuators of CRJ-200 Main Landing Gear and Nose Landing Gear, and CL300 Main Landing Gear and Nose Landing Gear.
 

• Provide a suitable Hydraulic Power Unit system, based on a laboratory’s purpose
• Deliver the equipment in Centennial College Downsview Campus,  assemble, integrate with other systems, perform testing the equipment (standalone and integrated)
• Onsite Training of personnel of test system operation and software operation
• Technical support after commissioning

• Hydraulic Reservoir and unit system must meet the specifications below:
  • The hydraulic power unit and all components must be compatible with Skydrol.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must be manufactured from steel.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must be sized for 3-5 times the pump flow rate.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must be baffled.
  • The suction pipe must be equipped by a strainer.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must have a sight gauge and level transducer.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must have a temperature gauge with transducer.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have a drain plug.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have a 5-micron return filter complete with a clog indicator to indicate when the filter requires replacement.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have a 15-micron pressure filter complete with a clog indicator to indicate when the filter requires replacement.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have a relief valve that is tamper proof and is adjustable from 0 to 3500PSI. This relief valve must be easily accessible. A pressure gauge with transducer must be provided at the relief to indicate the pressure at the outlet.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must have bleed/relief valve.
  • The hydraulic reservoir must have check valve installed in the fluid return port.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have heavy duty, rubber lined, swivel casters complete with lock brakes.
  • The hydraulic power unit must be equipped with fork lift receiver pockets/guides.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have a drip tray/enclosure capable of 1.5 times capacity of tank. The drip tray must have a drain.
  • The pump must have a flow rate of 15GPM at 3500 PSI.
  • The pump must not exceed the noise level of 75dB during operation.
  • The hydraulic fluid’s maximum temperature must be 50deg C.
  • The hydraulic power unit must be water-cooled or air-cooled to not exceed hydraulic fluid allowable temperature.
  • The pump must be VFD-controlled.
  • The hydraulic power unit must be equipped with On/Off push buttons.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have an E-Stop button located in an accessible area tied to safety circuit.
  • The hydraulic power unit must be designed to prevent the pump from operating in the wrong direction.
  • Motor controller, on button, off button, E-Stop and other electrical controls must be located in the same enclosure, stainless steel (able to be mounted on hydraulic power unit or remotely).
  • The hydraulic power unit must have an integrated HMI/PLC for control and can be integrated to data acquisition and control system of all sensor information.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have an electrical certification of Canadian Standards Association (CSA) / Certified for use in Canada.
  • The hydraulic power unit must have complete hoses, piping, and fittings to connect to hydraulic service manifolds of the landing gears and can be quickly be connected/disconnected.
