Components of Shock Tube System

Tender description

The University of Sheffield (UoS) is establishing a Shock Tube laboratory as part of its brand-new Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC). The intention of the shock tube is to study high-pressure chemical kinetics of combustion reactions using various diagnostic equipment. Lot 1: The Shock Tube will be used to study high-pressure and high-temperature chemical kinetics of hydrogen and methane combustion, before moving onto syngas and larger hydrocarbons. The tube will focus on high-pressure combustion applications, such as the Allam-Fetvedt cycle, diesel engine and scram-jet combustion. The supply of Shock tube will include certification, pressure testing and delivery. ▪ Mixing vessel ▪ Shock tube support (Hollow stand which can be filled up with sand, concrete, or similar) ▪ Measuring equipment as specified before ▪ Gas manifold for preparing mixtures in mixing vessel and high pressure section of the shock tube ▪ Engineering support ▪ Support for facility setup Additional information: Regulation 32 of PCR 2015 is being applied as in 32: 2a & 2b(ii) and 5a. No contract will be entered into until after a 10 calendar day period from the submission of the VEAT notice date.
