The solenoid quenched at 5:00 this morning due to power lead temps. The temps started oscillating about 10 minutes before the trip. The compressor and the cold box stayed on. The flow to the solenoid was stopped.
The solenoid flow was started in parallel cold return at ~7:20.
Switched to series mode at ~11:00. Built liquid to 55% by 13:30. Started flow to the power leads.
Power leads are cold. There is still a small ripple. The power supply can be ramped up as soon as the ripples die out.
Solenoid quench due to power bump caused by an airplane crash in Richmond at ~ 22:00. Compressor off. Water pump off. Restarted compressor at ~ 11:30. Cooling solenoid in parallel cold return mode by 12:15.
The solenoid is cold and I have started to ramp up the power supply. Some slight ripples in the power leads, but they are dieing out. Liquid level is a lot more stable this time.
Compressor started yesterday afternoon. Pumping out solenoid overnight. Cold box vacuum good. circulating helium to solenoid in Parallel warm mode, CV142 open. Purifier running.
Solenoid cold. Buffer tank pressure ~3psi, so Kevin will add a bottle of helium. Started flow to power leads at 11:45
Switched to parallel cold return at about 7:30 this morning
Solenoid quenched at ~13:30 Saturday. Kevin came in later in the day to recover it. System was in all around mode, no flow to solenoid. Discharge pressure went over 12 bar while starting flow and tripped the compresswor. After restart solenoid was cooling well.
Monday morning 7:30 I opened CV155 to increase the cooldown rate.
Solenoid quenched on power lead temps last evening. I am recovering it in parallel cold return mode. C12~60K C1~50K.
