  64   Wed Oct 13 08:17:00 2004 ExperimentorStart Upcycling 142 when temp hit 10.68
I tried cycling the valve twice -- at about 11:30 and again around 1:00,
trying both the buttons and the dial -- but it has had no effect on
the temperatures (aside from the transient spikes).  That might be
bad.  We will have to see if it altered the trend.

  63   Tue Oct 12 13:00:08 2004 Curtis BallardStart Upcv142 valve
Curtis closes and opens slowly at about 11:00 am this morning. Wants to see 
if that works better than the sudden on/off switch.

  62   Tue Oct 12 02:05:31 2004 ExperimentorStart Upcv142 valve
after only two hours since last lead cycling, they warm up quickly. 
ops cycles the valve, but more quickly this time, off ... 1 sec ... on.

  61   Mon Oct 11 22:32:11 2004 ExperimentorStart Upcv142 valve
temp of leads begins its exponential rise again (caught it at 12K), approx 
11 hours after last reset.  this time asked operator to shut off valve for 
3 seconds, then turn back on. 

previous recycle, asked operator to shut off valve for two seconds ... and 
the warm up time was 11 hours.

previous^2 recyle, asked operator to shut off valve for 1 second ... and 
the warm up time was only 4 hours.

  60   Mon Oct 11 11:49:34 2004 ExperimentorStart Upcv142 valve
noticed temp rise, which occured only about 5 hours after the 
last "reset" .... the time between resets seems to be decreasing, which is 
not a good sign. 

had the controll room guys reset the cv142 valve (i.e. cycle it off/on)

noticed that the lead temp rose to 24K over the past 4 hours. had control 
room personnle cycle the cv142 valve. temperature dropped.

At 5:30 pm sundat, power lead temp is about 10.6K.  script tool still 
notworking

  57   Sat Oct 9 22:50:26 2004 Other power leads warmed
At 10:30 PM Saturday, Donald Arseneau sees power leads at
25K, having gone up for the previous 10 hours.  (I didn't
see it earlier because striptool wasn't scrolling).  Cycled
valve 142.

switched to series mode
  54   Wed Oct 6 07:57:01 2004 Doug PreddyStart Upparallel cold return
Switched to parallel cold return at 4:00 yesterday afternoon.
6:30 this morning started closing cv155 as temps had bottomed out at 24K.

adjusted compressor discharge pressure to 11 Bar
  52   Mon Oct 4 09:16:29 2004 Doug PreddyStart UpStarted turbines
Started flow to the turbimes with the solenoid in parallel warm return.
  51   Fri Oct 1 11:39:55 2004 Doug PreddyMaintenanceLoading of compressor not working
When the compressor was restarted on Monday, the remote load button would 
not respond. The compressor was shut off. After two days of searching the 
wiring etc. a bad connection was found on DR1 relay (upstairs in the 
compressor control panel). The wire was the "compressor on" sensor. 
Connection was cleaned and retightened.
The compressor was started this morning and is working. 
I pressurized the cold box and started flow to the solenoid and through the 
power leads. I started a continuous flow throughthe LN2 adsorber. This will 
be run over the weekend. Cooling to start Monday morning.

compressor off
  49   Mon Sep 13 10:55:25 2004 Doug PreddyShut DownQuench and shutdown
The solenoid quenched on powerlead temps this morning at 10:00. It is 
warming up and the power leads are >200K.Isolating and purging the coldbox 
is not very useful now, so I am shutting the system down.
  48   Fri Sep 3 01:28:43 2004 Doug PreddyQuench Recoverypower up
started flow to the power leads at 11:30. Cold and stable at 1:00am. 
Energized solenoid at 1:30.
  47   Thu Sep 2 21:58:34 2004 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoverySwitch to series cooling
Solenoid had tripped on powerlead overtemp at about 09:00 this morning. 
Doug recovered the system to // cooling. I switched system to series 
cooling at about 21:30. LHe level at about 10%. Buffer tank pressure is low 
at about 13 psig. Letting LHe level build. Once LHe level rises to about 
35% then I suggest starting flow to the powerleads by opening HIC142 fully 
open. LHe level should continue to build but at a much slower rate. Once 
power lead temps have bottomed out to cr_pl_neg < 9K and cr_pl_pos < 11 K 
(check these values with archived data first) and are stable then can 
energize solenoid.
