Description

Attachment 1 Technical Specifications "Thermal System Piping” July 14, 2026 BACKGROUND This purchase is to acquire piping, fittings, valves, and pipe connections for the thermal systems which cool the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer stacks being tested as part of the Multimegawatt (MMW) Electrolysis project. The process fluids will be 50/50 propylene glycol/water. This cooling system is required for successful execution of the MMW electrolysis project. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this procurement is to purchase the equipment needed to connect National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) large dry coolers to the PEM electrolyzer balance of plant. The cooling system is critical for temperature control of the experiment requiring a reliable system that minimizes down time for repair and maintenance. SPECIFICATIONS: REQUIRED CAPABILITIES • Materials of construction shall be compatible with the process fluid of 50/50 propylene glycol/water • Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) shall be > 150 psi (10.3 bar) for all components • Maximum allowable working temperature (MAWT) shall be > 200°F (93°C) for all components • Minimum allowable working temperature shall be < -22°F (-30°C) for all components • All components shall be outdoor rated • All components, unless specifically noted, shall have end connections meeting the Victaulic Original Groove System (OGS) Specifications and meet the requirements (e.g., pipe size and squareness) of the Victaulic Field Installation Handbook o Victaulic Original Groove System (OGS) Specifications document for reference: https://assets.victaulic.com/assets/uploads/literature/25.01.pdf o Victaulic Field Installation Handbook document for reference: https://assets.victaulic.com/assets/uploads/literature/I-100.pdf  The maximum allowable tolerance from square-cut pipe ends is 1/16 inch/1.6 mm for 4 – 24-inch/DN100 – DN600 sizes. This is measured from the true square line (from page 4 of the Field Installation Handbook) • All components, unless specifically noted, shall be of the Iron Pipe Size (IPS) category • All components shall have Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) seals/seats in alignment with the table below • All components, unless specifically noted, shall be Victaulic brand -- 1 of 5 -- • Pressure-containing portions of the equipment (see table below) shall be designed to the applicable sections of ASME pressure codes. • Include delivery costs and freight to NLR Flatirons Campus: 19001 W 119th Ave, Arvada, CO 80007 A list of components to be purchased is provided below: General Description Catalog Description Quantity Notes Flanged Reducing Elbow , 90 LR, 6"flg x 8"grv Victaulic_IPS_Elb Base Sprt Redc_No R100F (OGSxFLG)_08.0x06.0 (200x150) 8 Tee, 8 in, groove Victaulic_IPS_Tee_No 20 (OGS)_8 (200) 6 Elbow, 90 LR, 8 in, groove Victaulic_IPS_Elb 90 Deg LR_No 100 (OGS)_8 (200) 6 1 ½ D Cross, 8 in, groove Victaulic_IPS_Cross_No 35 (OGS)_8 (200) 2 Butterfly Valve, 8 in, groove, Vic-300 MasterSeal Lever Lock EPDM green - 30 F to 230 F, Victaulic_IPS_Valve Butterfly Vic-300 Masterseal Lever Handle_ (OGS)_8 (200) 761 series 8 Disk: Standard, Ductile Iron.
