6.7.4 Full vacuum test on radiators shall be conducted for a duration of one hour; during whichtime no drop of vacuum shall be observed. This test shall be done on each type ofradiator.

The radiators shall be tested for leakage by placing them horizontally in a tank filled withclean water and applying air pressure at 2 kg/ sq cm for minimum of 15 min. during whichtime no leakage shall occur. This test shall be routine test for all Reactors.

The pipes shall be tested for leakage by applying air pressure at 4 kg/ sq cm for minimumof 15 min. during which time no leakage shall occur. This test shall be routine test for allReactors

6.7.5 All other tests for components shall be carried out as per QAP.

6.7.6 Following Pre-Shipment Checks At Manufacturer’s Works (To be done on all Reactors)

a) Dew point measurement of N2 at the time of filling & after 24 hours in Reactor tank.

b) Nitrogen gas tightness, pressure reading, availability of pressure gauge, availability of 2nos. reserve gas cylinders

c) Installation of impact recorder & functional check on the same in X,Y,Z direction

d) Check on completeness of dispatch able Reactor mounting of nitrogen gas cylinder andregularization of pressure.

e) Check for proper loading of Reactor on road trailer/railway wagon, proper bracing &anchoring.

f) Proper packing of accessories like coolers, bushings, breather, buchholz relay.Marshalling Box, Cooler pipes, radiators, valves, conservator etc.

6.7.7 Auxiliary Equipment

All other auxiliary shall be tested as per the relevant standards. Test certificates shall besubmitted for bought out items. High voltage withstand test shall be performed on auxiliaryequipment and wiring after complete assembly.

6.7.8 Test Reports

Three copies of test reports shall be submitted for Purchaser’s approval before dispatch ofReactor. And approved copies shall be included in the final documentation.

7.0 PACKING AND SHIPMENT

Reactors shall be appropriately packed so as to prevent damages during handling,transportation and storage at site. Materials shall be shipped only after duly inspected andcleared by NPCIL by issue of shipping release.

8.0 WARRANTEE AND GUARANTEE

Warrantee and guarantee shall be as stated in the General Conditions of the Contract attachedwith the tender.

9.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN

9.1 The general requirements regarding the general quality assurance, such as organizational setup for quality surveillance, qualification and experience details of personnel of qualityassurance department, QA manual, Mock up test procedure etc., are covered in Section C-0(Volume-I) and GCC.

9.2 Applicable quality plan for various equipment covered in this specification are given in theannexure to this section. Any deviations to the enclosed quality plan shall be brought out inthe offer clearly. BIDDER to indicate the sampling plan, Reference documents, Acceptancenorms, testing agency etc.

9.3 Scope and Purpose:

This document indicates the quality assurance requirements expected from the Contractor/Manufacturer of the equipment covered in this module. Subsequent to the placement ofPurchase order Contractor/ Manufacturer shall submit for purchaser’s approval, a qualityassurance plan in line with this document incorporating specific document numbers for“format of records”, “acceptance norms” and “reference documents”.

9.5 NOTES:

Photographs of the REACTORS and their sub-assemblies will be taken by NPCIL during various stages ofmanufacturing, assembly and testing to facilitate maintenance at site and for information purpose.Continuous surveillance check will be done by NPCIL Engineer during manufacturing and testing of theREACTORS.Wherever V & W are both indicated, NPCIL QS to witness test or review TRs.All the important tests will be witnessed by NPCIL Engineering & Procurement group and clearance will begiven.TRs not more than five years old from date of purchase order shall be reviewed for acceptance. Otherwise testshall be carried out.Minor: The characteristic of a component, process or operation whose failure neither materially reduce theusability of the product in operation, nor does it affect the aesthetic aspects.Major: The characteristic of a component, process or operation whose failure may cause operation failurewhich cannot be readily corrected at site or cause substandard performance, increased erection andmaintenance cost, reduced life or seriously affect aesthetics or ergonomics.Critical: The characteristics of a component, process or operation failure of which will surely cause operatingfailure or intermittent troubles which is difficult to rectify at site or render the unit unfit for use or safetyhazards.“Failure” of a characteristics means failure to meet the “acceptance norms”.Sampling: Generally in accordance with IS:2500. If 100% “witness” is carried out by “Prime contractor”,NPCIL will witness on sample basis, or if 100% witness of tests is carried out by “Sub-Contractor”, “Primecontractor” will witness on sample basis.

Any deviation to this QAP shall be brought out by vendor in his offer failing which this QAP be complied with fully.

10.0 FORMULA FOR EVALUATION OF TENDERS:

Vendor shall submit separate value for losses (viz iron and copper loss), However thetenders will be evaluated for total losses as per the loading formula given below:

L = (A1 × D) + (B1×E)

L = Cost of loading for losses consumption in Rupees

A1 = Difference in kW of Iron losses from base case.

B1 = Difference in kW of Copper losses from base case.

D = Rs. 172319/-per kW of Iron loss

E = Rs. 172319/-per kW of Copper loss.

As D=EThen L= D× (A1+B1)

A1+B1= Total losses

10.1 For evaluation, guaranteed losses shall be increased by 10 % to reflect + 10 % tolerancepermitted by IS.

10.2 The offer with lowest loss will be considered as the 'Base'.

10.3 Penalty for excess loss after manufacture of reactor:

Rates of penalty for exceeding guaranteed losses is: Rs. 172319/- per kW

4.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF HVWS EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES:

System shall meet requirements outlined in Clause No 4.1.1 of Specification No PC-E-558

as attached with this specification.

High velocity water spray (HVWS) system:

The system shall consist of a suitable heat sensing device, a Deluge Valve (DV) assembly

and special nozzles. The heat sensing device shall be the Quartzoid Bulb (Q.B.) Detector

with a fixed temperature rating of 79 deg C for outdoor application. The nozzle shall be

capable of producing high velocity water spray. The bore, spray angle and the discharge

coefficient of nozzle (“k” Value) shall be carefully selected for each application to achieve

the required flow rate, emulsifying effect and coverage of surface area protected. The

operating pressure of nozzle will be generally in the range of 3.5 kg/cm2 (g) to 5.5 kg/cm

(g). The DV shall be pneumatically operated. To achieve actuation of the DV, Q.B.

detectors will be mounted on a pipe-work charged with compressed air at about 3.5 kg/cm2

(g). The compressed air also maintains adequate pressure to balance the water pressure

upstream of DV. Compressed air supply will be drawn from the instrument air

compressors. In event of fire detection by Q.B. detectors the bulb will break on reaching

rated temperature. This will result in escape of compressed air from air pipe-work. Due to

fall in air pressure, the water pressure upstream of DV overcomes the reduced air pressure

and causes the DV to open, thereby releasing water into the water pipe-work consisting of

open H.V. spray nozzles. The DV shall also be capable of manual actuation. Suitable air

accumulator tank with capacity sufficient for three operations of the DVs shall be provided

by the CONTRACTOR. Refer Annexure-1 showing scope of fire water spray vendor and

typical schematic for out door HWVS system. All DVs including its trim kit and

accessories and instruments etc. shall be located inside enclosed suitable structure called

DV housing with a provision of door.

5.0 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:
