1. Overview of the project
1.1
Korea Aerospace Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as “KARI”)
is located at Daeduk Research Complex, 140 km south of Seoul.
1.2
KARI has a satellite assembly, integration and test center (hereinafter
referred to as “AITC”) as a research institutes for the purpose of the
effective development of domestic & scientific satellites.
1.3
In the AITC, for the acoustic test, the high intensity acoustic chamber
is operated and can generate the noise of 148dB OVSAL.
1.4
This acoustic chamber uses the low frequency interface and high
frequency interface to generate the acoustic noise, which are parts of
LN2 vaporizer system .
1.5
The purpose of this project is to change high frequency
interface(source) of LN2 vaporizer system in order to maintain the
system performance.
1.6
The supplier should summit the performance record showing the
satisfaction of technical requirements
1.7
The supplier should submit the business showing of sales and
installation records for acoustic source and acoustic chamber facilities.
1.8
All the descriptions in this RFP are minimum requirements and the
supplier can suggest the better one to improve the overall
performance and cost. But in this case, the proposal should clearly
indicate the improvements from KARI’s requirements.

At the end of LN2 vaporizer system, the acoustic source part is connected
with acoustic chamber [Reverberation room]. KARI acoustic chamber
employs the two type of interface which have cutoff frequencies of 25Hz
and 125Hz are employed for acoustic impedance matching. Figure 2 shows
the acoustic source interfaces of KARI.

The purpose of this project is to change the high frequency acoustic source
interface in order to maintain performance of LN2 vaporizer system and
acoustic chamber.

at KARI acoustic chamber (Volume of chamber : 1200m3, Overall T60 :
17.5sec)
4.7 To show the capability of acoustic source interface, the supplier should
submit the measurement results at the acoustic chamber of 1200m3 or more
larger space (Frequency range : 500Hz ~ 2.5kHz).
4.8 The acoustic source should be equipped with sensors to monitoring the
status of source such as displacement of module, pressure, voltage and
current.
