  161   Thu Aug 17 19:45:27 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench Recoveryswitch to series cooling
Temps of flow returning from solenoid flat lined at about 10K.
Gradually closed CV155.
Then switched to series cooling.
  167   Thu Oct 12 11:53:04 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryCompressor trip, 09:50 this morning.
Main compressor tripped, refrigerator shutdown. Checked with experimentors 
and main control room, no indications of power bump etc.

Restarted compressor, // warm then // cold return. One of the MV5x valves 
frozen open, had to de-power valve  a couple of times to get it to seal.
  168   Thu Oct 12 19:54:10 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryEnergized solenoid.
Switched to series mode about 6 hours ago. Cooling continued including 
power leads until LHe level at about 50% and powerleads appeared stable.

Hi there,

This is Khashayar (experimenter). Lookin at all different temperatures and 
levelson the monitor, it seems everything is stable now. I wonder if you 
could let us know what time we can have beam again? Would you please send an 
email to kghandi@mta.ca if you know the answer? You can also reach me at my 
cell# (506)961-0802 any time.

Thanks

Khashayar

  171   Thu Oct 26 04:27:31 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryPowerlead overtemp
02:30 this morning got page from operations.
Looked at system online, appears that there was a powerlead overtemp
that caused the quench. Compressor still running. After arriving to 
work set system to // warm return mode to cool down transferlines. Lhe 
level starts to boil away. Switch to // cold return mode. Discovered that 
seem to get better cooldown rate by not opening supply valves to solenoid 
fully. // cold return valves are fully open but both CV143 and CV146 are 
only open to 0.55 giving mu1 and mu2 inlet pressures of 2 barA. Getting 
good cool down rates and even building LHe level.

04:25 C1 down to 8K, C12 at 7.5K, C6 at 7.5K, 6KS_M at 10.5K
  172   Thu Oct 26 04:34:15 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryStill in // cold return mode.
Leaving system cooling in // cold return mode, cooldown rates still good. 
Had flow on to powerleads since re-starting cooling flow to solenoid.
Either I (when I return to work later this morning) or Doug will do the 
switch to series mode.
  173   Thu Oct 26 08:18:10 2006 Doug PreddyQuench Recoveryswitched to series mode
Switched to series mode at about 7:45.
  174   Thu Oct 26 11:45:22 2006 Doug PreddyQuench RecoverySolenoid cold
power leads cold 50% liquid.
Turning on power supply
  175   Thu Oct 26 14:14:57 2006 Doug PreddyQuench Recoverypower lead quench
solenoid tripped on power lead temp. I was here and caught it. System 
cooling.
  176   Tue Oct 31 03:52:29 2006 Doug PreddyQuench Recoverypower lead quench at 2:30 this morning
Compressor still on. Starting flow to solenoid

  181   Wed Nov 15 11:09:28 2006 Doug PreddyQuench RecoveryCompressor tripped off
Compressor tripped this morning at ~8:45. I restarted the compressor, but 
turbine 1 would not spin up. I let it warm for an hour and it started. I 
started flow to the solenoind in parallel cold return.
  182   Wed Nov 15 13:56:00 2006 Doug PreddyQuench Recoveryswitch to series mode
  183   Wed Nov 15 17:05:49 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench Recoverypowerleads cold, energizing solenoid
Powerlead temperatures have bottomed out, energizing solenoid to 300 
amps, ramp rate 60.
  184   Tue Nov 28 10:32:04 2006 Doug PreddyQuench Recoveryrecovering after looong power outage
The power has been out for about 24 hours. Recovering coldbox, solenoid and 
beamline vacuum.PLC is down for the vacuum system. Started compressor and 
am flowing warm helium through the soleniod to warm it up while the vacuum 
recovers.
  192   Fri Apr 27 10:16:44 2007 Kevin TrithardtQuench RecoveryTest
Don't Panic -- There was no quench. I am testing the e-log.
I have added Kevin's name and e-mail to the M9 e-log. He will be e-mailed 
when a quench recovery log is submitted. His name is also included in the 
Author's list. 
Thanks, Doug
  193   Fri Apr 27 10:32:07 2007 Doug PreddyQuench RecoveryReset quench relay logic box
The quench relay logic controller was not functioning correctly. It showed 
a "Trip" light and no other lights. I cycled the power to the controller 
and it now seems to be working properly. This did cause a quench and I am 
now recovering the system.
  197   Wed May 30 08:38:38 2007 Doug PreddyQuench RecoverySolenoid quenched this morning
Solenoid quenched this morning on power lead temp (I believe).
I restarted it at ~7:00, but the capacity control for the compressor would 
not respond. I shut the system back down and checked as many relays as I 
could. I then restarted the system and it is now cooling. I will go 
through the wiring diagrams and see if I can locate the bad relay.
  198   Wed May 30 11:27:32 2007 Doug PreddyQuench RecoveryProblems recovering
Various start up problems :
MV51 stuck open. Finally got it closed by hitting the valve with a hammer.
Vacuum is bad in cold box as MV902 tripped closed.
Vacuum in solenoid has gone bad. Suspect boil off from inside solenoid. So 
far it is not recovering.
Previously T1 would not spin up - frozen.
