| Valved off purifiers, but left LN2 on. |

Thu Oct 5 10:26:26 2006, Doug Preddy, Start Up, switched to parallel cold return

Wed Oct 4 18:10:18 2006, Willy Andersson, Start Up, Quick check on system
|
System in good // warm return mode, temps coming down nicely. BCP2 cryopump
does not look too healthy, temperature is just over 20K, very close to low
set point.

|
Wed Oct 4 07:29:04 2006, Doug Preddy, Start Up, Starting cool down
|
Started compressor yesterday with flow through the purifier overnight.
Starting tubines this morning in parallel warm return |
|
Thu Aug 17 19:45:27 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, switch to series cooling
|
Temps of flow returning from solenoid flat lined at about 10K.
Gradually closed CV155.
Then switched to series cooling. |

Thu Aug 17 08:04:44 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, Solenoid tripped at about 3:00 this morning

restarting system.
Compressor would not start. Idid not see anything that would not let it
start. Pushed rest button upstairs, and reset contactor. Compressor started.

|
Tue Aug 15 15:39:27 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, switched to parallel cold return
|
Return flow temps from solenoid about 40K, TIC121 at about 40K so switching
to //cold return.
Starting with slightly reduced flow through cold returns, CV145 and CV147
|
|
Tue Aug 15 08:45:56 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, restarted the compressor
|
| Solenoid tripped off Sunday. Restarted compressor and cool down of cold box. |
|
Thu Aug 10 20:26:09 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, solenoid energized
|
| Powerleads seem stable. |
|
Thu Aug 10 16:33:11 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, Flow to solenoid tripped on powerlead temperature.
|
Power lead temps were drifting up, tried to tweak TIC121 and HIC141 to
unstall powerlead flow. Got quench. Restarted series flow, building LHe
level. |
|
Thu Aug 10 08:33:44 2006, Doug Preddy, Normal Running, Running low on helium
|
Temperture okay, but there are fluctuation in the power leads. PIC229 is
trying to charge. The buffer tank pressure is just >0 psi. I will lower the
liquid level to 40% to allow some helium to boil off into the buffer tank. |
|
Wed Aug 9 07:50:49 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, Switched to series mode.
|
| Cool down continues. |
|
Wed Aug 9 06:59:43 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, more // cold return stuff
|
About 21:00 last night the solenoid temps had not changed much, pretty well
flat lined. I guess my reducing CV155 stalled the cooling. Called Don
Arseneau and asked him to increase CV155 to about 80% open. Temps slowly
|
|
Wed Aug 9 06:44:58 2006, Willy Andersson, Quench Recovery, // cold mode cooling continues.
|
After restarting flow to the solenoid yesterday in // cold return mode
TIC121 just refused to go lower than about 29K even when we closed CV155
all the way. Tried various things, switching to // warm return, changing
|
|
Tue Aug 8 07:27:49 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, Solenoid Quench at about 6:00 this morning
|
No indication of problem. Turbines still running, but no flow to solenoid.
Started flow. Solenoid ~20K. |
|
Sat Jul 29 09:38:06 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, power leads cooled
|
opened power lead flow about 40 minutes ago. ~12K will let them stablize.
LHE level >20% |
|
Sat Jul 29 05:30:28 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, switched to series mode
|
| Temps bottomed out at ~16K. Switching to series mode. |
|
Fri Jul 28 20:39:40 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, Restarting refrigerator
|
Solenoid quenched at about 6:00 tonight.
I restarted the compressor, then the cold box and turbines. When cold box
was at 25K I started flow to the solenoid in parallel cold return. |
|
Sat Jul 22 06:34:14 2006, Experimentor, Quench Recovery, looking good
|
Donald Arseneau reporting.
It is looking pretty good, so I came back in with the intent of energizing

Fri Jul 21 23:36:21 2006, Doug Preddy, Quench Recovery, Final cooldown problems
|
80K shield is down to <60K Liquid level not building. Power leads rippling
and warming. T1 inlet 85K with 10%heater load.
Lowered the set point of TI121 to 17K. Shut off flow to the 80K shield to
