The model 94 -TS -1 Thermal Systems 1 Unit teaches a wide range of applications based on the thermal concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer. Thermal applications include refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps. The 94 -TS -1 Unit consists of two student workstations: T7082 Thermal System and T7081 Applied Thermal Science System. The model 17082 Thermal System is a working thermal system with industrial components that can perform heat pump, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems operation. The T7081 includes thermal science apparatus to demonstrate the principles on which modern thermal systems are based. The T7081 components are stored in full view of the student with silk-screened outlines and labels to enable students to quickly find the components needed for their setups and easily return them to their proper storage locations. This feature also enables teachers to identify missing components at a glance. The 17081 Applied Thermal Science System supports a full range of thermal science experiments including heat transfer and thermodynamics. This system provides the fundamental understanding of thermal systems necessary before exploring the applications taught by the T7082 Thermal System. Students will use the T7081 to prove concepts and learn how to make calculations to predict system performance. Bid 10-50, ADDENDUM 1 Page 1 of 4 Telecommunications Device for the Deaf TOD (479) 521-1316 113 West Mountain - Fayetteville, AR 72701 The T7082 is a working refrigeration system that uses the principle of vapor compression, the most popular refrigeration method employed today. The T7082 demonstrates both refrigeration and air conditioning applications. It also includes a reversing valve and associated components to switch the system to heat pump operation as well. The 17082 includes many instrumentation features to observe and monitor system operation. Sight glasses are located at three points on both the evaporator and condenser coils to show how the refrigerant changes phase as it passes through each coil. Pressure and temperature gages are placed at the inlet and outlet of the condenser and evaporator to determine heating and cooling performance. Other teaching components include moisture indicator, panel -mounted compressor ammeter, and flow meter. The T7082 replicates a variety of performance conditions such as heavy-duty industrial blowers attached to the condenser and evaporator coils and manual valves placed throughout the refrigeration system. The blowers have dampers that can vary the air flow across the coils, showing the effect of varying heat transfer rates. Key Features shall include the following: i. Supports full range of thermal science experiments ii. Sight glasses at multiple points to show refrigerant changes ill. Hermetically sealed compressor iv. Silk-screened component panel v. Industrial quality components vi. Perform heat pump, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems operations Convenient component storage 6.) Reference — Line Item 6: a.

LINE ITEM 7- 950-SPTI Solar PV Troubleshooting Learning System - Installing and maintaining solar photovoltaic (PV) systems requires hands-on skills and troubleshooting ability across the types of PV systems commonly used such as AC, DC, and grid -tie. Budding engineers and designers need to understand the technologies used in these systems as well. Amatrol's 950-SPT1 Solar Photovoltaic Troubleshooting Learning System allows students to develop the specialized skills and knowledge needed for working with the common types of PV systems. The 950-SPTI teaches students connection, operation, programming, and troubleshooting of AC/DC and grid -tie systems. The curriculum is PC -based multimedia that is highly interactive. It allows students to use the learning style best for them — reading, listening, visual. The 950-SPT1 supports the NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) test for Certified Solar Photovoltaic System Installer. The 950-SPT1 includes all components needed to develop hands-on, jobready skills: all solar specific components as well as balance of system items. The learning system contains a mobile workstation, component panels with breakers, combiner box, MPPT charge controller, lamps, batteries, meters, grid -tie inverter, a fault insertion system, PC -based multimedia student curriculum, and instructor's assessment guide. The required 95-SPAI two -panel array provides a complete solar PV troubleshooting experience. Computerized Fault Insertion At the heart of a technician's skill set is the ability to troubleshoot a system. The 950-SPT1 is equipped with a wide array of both electrical and fluid faults that allow instructors to replicate realistic system and component failures. For the 950-SPT1, Amatrol uses electronic fault insertion so that instructors can easily insert faults and track the student's troubleshooting results. Electric fault insertion prevents component damage while allowing instructors to see student progress. Instructors can identify specific areas the student needs to improve and target those areas. It also allows instructors to set-up faults ahead of time, allowing students to perform self -directed study when appropriate. Balance of System Components — Replicates Real World PV System Developing installation and troubleshooting skills for PV systems requires all the components commonly found in these systems. Elements included on the 950-SPT1 such as power distribution panels, a combiner box, disconnects, and circuit breakers are essential to create realistic systems and troubleshooting situations. Grid -Tie and Micro Inverters Solar applications are increasingly including grid -tie capability. In fact, grid -tie is the most common type of PV system being purchased today. This is a key component that allows maximum economic return — owners can sell excess power to the utility. Likewise, when solar power is not sufficient, additional power is often needed from the electrical grid. Amatrol's 950-SPT1 includes a micro inverter in addition to the grid -tie inverter. This is also a very popular option that is frequently used to assign an inverter to each PV string. Both of these inverters are required to teach skills across all major types of PV systems including stand-alone AC, gridtie AC, grid -tie AC with storage, and the various types of DC systems. Modern Communications and Programming Modem solar technology installations frequently include network communications. The inverters and charge controller on Amatrol's Solar PV Troubleshooting enable students to learn how to network system components. Students also learn how to troubleshoot at the system level as well. The inverter and charge controller feature many modern programming capabilities which allow students to learn how to program the more sophisticated systems they are likely to encounter. Mobile, Multiple PV Panels (Required 95-SPA1 Solar PV Array Station) The required PV array for the 950-SPT1 contains multiple panels so that students can learn to connect a realistic array. Most solar technology applications have multiple panels. Students need to learn about the effects of series and parallel connections, which require more than one panel. Additionally, the 95-SPA1 Solar PV Array Station is mobile, allowing instructors to take advantage of sunny days without having to move the entire trainer. The array is equipped with sun simulation as well to enable indoor use. City of Fayetteville, AR Bid 10-50, Educational Equipment & Learning Systems Page 25 of 35 a.
