    The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the replacement of a failed water chiller at NASA Langley Research Center's Rotorcraft Hover Test Facility (RHTF). The current chiller, essential for cooling water-cooled motors used in rotorcraft wind tunnel models, is beyond repair due to its age. The project involves removing the old chiller and installing a new 5-ton chiller, which must meet specific technical requirements such as a flow rate exceeding 15 GPM and operating with 208V – 3-phase – 60 Hz electrical systems. The contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with NASA and OSHA safety standards during installation, which includes modifying the existing stand and completing all necessary water and electrical hookups. The project emphasizes coordination for pickup or delivery at NASA's Hampton, Virginia location, with clear contact information provided. This task not only ensures the continued operation of the RHTF but also reflects NASA's commitment to maintaining cutting-edge research facilities through timely equipment upgrades.
