Closed Solicitation · DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
AI Summary
The Department of Energy is soliciting vacuum gate valves for the Material-Plasma Exposure eXperiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These valves are crucial for maintaining a leak-tight vacuum chamber and managing heat during plasma operations. Bidders should be prepared to meet the specific requirements for fusion reactor applications.
Vacuum Gate Valves
The Material-Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a superconducting magnet, steady-state device, is being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), herein referred to as “the Company”, to address the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor. This device, as designed, will have the unique feature of being able to conduct accelerated lifetime tests of plasma-facing components, including those that have experienced neutron damage.
The primary role of the water-cooled gate valve is to provide a leak tight vacuum chamber barrier when plasma is not present and the mating vacuum chambers are separated, remove heat that is gate valve when the plasma is present and the gate valve is open, and provide inlet and outlet ports for cooling water.
VACUUM GATE VALVES is a federal acquisition solicitation issued by DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. Review the full description, attachments, and submission requirements on SamSearch before the response deadline.
