Specifications 

General

  1. The final design must be compatible to the current system. In order for this, the design must incorporate the current guide vanes and throat design and must fit in the housing

Operation

  1. Mechanism must be uniformly and smoothly (with no “jams” or “hang-up’s”)
  2. Angle of the IGV operation must be achieved
  3. To minimize turbulence, due to vibration in the vanes, backlash must be minimized in the control mechanism. Backlash in the vanes must be held to the same or less than the current design

Motor

  1. The programming that operates the motor must remain the same and so must the motor

Manufacturing and Assembly

  1. All materials used or defined in the final material list must be compatible with refrigerants used and oils
  2. Design should to current tolerances
  3. Maintain current assembly time or faster
  4. Manufacturing cost should be kept the same or lowered
