In plain English
The Air Force is seeking information from qualified firms about next-generation dielectric cooling fluid for the F-22. The fluid should use a synthetic hydrocarbon base oil with suitable additives and improve properties linked to heat transfer; this is a sources-sought request for information, not a purchase commitment.
About this bid
The Modernization Branch of the F-22 Division (AFLCMC/WAR) is exploring the market for qualified firms to provide next-generation hydrogenated, dielectric cooling fluid. The material shall consist of a synthetic, hydrocarbon base oil with suitable additives as needed. This Sources Sought/RFI is looking for information on improved heat transfer capability. While calculating exact forced convection heat transfer requires parameters outside of fluid properties (e.g. velocity, pipe diameter, etc.), the F-22 Division seeks to improve one or more fluid properties that correlate to improved heat transfer capability. Current coolant density, thermal conductivity, specific heat values, and…
