Abstract:

VSE provided technical support to Belvoirs testing program for the 18K BTUH Vertical and Horizontal TECS air conditioners during the period of 14 March 1988 to 16 September 1988. VSE technical support consisted of participation in monthly Government reviews of ongoing testing, troubleshooting support following equipment failures and shop labor services for substituting military for commercial compressors in four 4 air conditioners. The Southcon and Keco motor controllers have each experienced failures. Following each major failure the motor controllers were shipped back to the manufacturer for failure analysis. As of the date of this report, testing is behind schedule due to motor controller failures.
