  125   Tue Jun 13 15:52:46 2006 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryDoug has reduced and now closed CV155.
Now in full // cold return mode.
Had just talked with Curtis, He said thta he has already informed the 
experimentors that the solenoid will not be ready until tommorow, so he 
suggests leaving the system in reduced // cold mode overnight.
  124   Tue Jun 13 10:54:27 2006 Doug PreddyQuench RecoveryCompressor tripped off
No indicator lights etc as to why the compressor tripped. The only  light 
was a cold box fault. I had to shut off the main breaker before the 
compressor would come back on.
Started cooling in parallel  cold return.
  123   Tue May 30 14:36:41 2006 Doug PreddyNormal Runningpower leads warming
power leads warming. closed HIC 142, then re-opened. temps falling
  122   Fri May 26 14:34:24 2006 Doug PreddyStart UpReady to run
Solenoid is cold, liquid level is 35%, power leads cold and seem stable.
Added one bottle helium to buffer tank. Pressure is 7 psi..
  121   Fri May 26 10:03:03 2006 Doug PreddyStart UpStarted flow to power leads
Started flow to power leads.
Liquid level 15%
  120   Fri May 26 08:45:38 2006 Doug PreddyStart UpChanged to series mode
Changed to series mode.
Liquid level building.
  119   Fri May 26 07:29:54 2006 Doug PreddyStart UpCV155 closed
CV155 closed.
Temps about 15K
  118   Thu May 25 07:34:18 2006 Doug PreddyStart Upswitched to parallel cold return
switched to parallel cold return
  117   Tue May 23 08:44:28 2006 Doug PreddyStart UpStarted turbines
Solenoid and cold box were pumped out last Tuesday. Cold box roughing pump 
initially would not start. had to retighten all wires on the contactor in 
the Sulzer control panel (RP900).
Started compressor on Friday. ran purifier over the weekend.
Started flow in parallel warm return. Started flow to turbines.
Replacing dead monitor on other control computer.
  116   Thu Dec 22 15:10:44 2005 Doug PreddyShut Downshut down system
shuttting down the system. isolated cold box by closing v135. preparing to 
pump out cold box.
  115   Mon Dec 12 09:24:29 2005 Doug PreddyQuench RecoverySolenoid Quench on power lead temp
The solenoid tripped on power lead temps at about 9:15. I am recovering it 
from it's all around mode into parallel cold return.
  114   Tue Nov 15 07:25:10 2005 Doug PreddyNormal Runningpower supply problem
Saturday November 12 the solenoid power supply ramped itself down to zero. 
It would not ramp up unless the ramp rate was set to 30 minutes. At this 
setting the power supply ramped up to the required current. It seems to 
ramp slower than the 30 minute rate. Klaus also looked at the problem. His 
suggestion is to exercise/clean the switches and pots.
  113   Thu Nov 3 09:27:16 2005 Doug PreddyQuench Recoverystarted flow to solenoid
started flow to solenoid in parallel cold return.
  112   Thu Nov 3 06:19:50 2005 Doug PreddyQuench Recoveryrestart system
Last night at about 7:00 there was a large power bump that shut the 
compressor and water pump off. I came in this morning and am restarting the 
system.
  111   Wed Nov 2 10:17:27 2005 Willy AnderssonStart UpM9B helium refrigerator and solenoid cooldown
Started M9B MYCOM helium compressor circulating helium through system last 
Friday. Right hand purifier was regenerated previously, LN2 fill system 
started and flow started from buffer through purifier to low pressure 
return line to compressor. Left in this mode over the weekend. Curtis came 
in on weekend to add new full LN2 dewar to purifier.

Started // warm return cooling Monday.
Tuesday morning solenoid temps about 35 K and TI121 about 35 K  so 
switching to // cold cooling.

Note:

PDI 104 guage is very slugish to respond, needs to be replaced or cleaned.
TI148 and TI149 need to be recharged with helium, they do not work yet.
TIC121 may be reading too high a temperature, try to verify it with TE147 
before JT effect begins. Now TI121=20.7 K   TE147=25 K   HIC155 is full 
open still.
LIC108 is reading too high, reads 22% LHE but really is no LHE at this 
point.
  110   Mon Oct 31 07:48:57 2005 Willy AnderssonQuench Recoverywhat a fine entry
Keep IT safe boys
  109   Sun Aug 14 10:03:13 2005 Willy AnderssonNormal RunningSystem stable
No experiment running in M9B.

Solenoid current is zero and power supply not armed.

System in stable series cooling mode.
  108   Tue Jul 19 18:09:56 2005 Willy AnderssonQuench RecoveryQuench II
Machine trip just as I was exiting the TRIUMF gate. QRL said cold box fault 
as did red lite on compressor. At cold box panel all turbine red lites were 
on and compressed air failure lite was on. But there was no problems with 
compressed air. On fist trip logger LED # 8 and 16 were lit. Restarted 
compressor then start flow to cold box, start turbines, start // warm 
return until temps returning back from solenoid were <= TIC121 then 
switched to //cold return mode. Opened cv155 to 0.88
Solenoid temps at 24K and starting to trend down.
  107   Tue Jul 19 16:13:32 2005 Willy AnderssonQuench Recoveryswitch to series mode
CR_6KS_M down to 11 K.
Switched to series mode.
Started small flow to power leads to get them cold.
HIC142=0.6        Later open HIC142 wide open.
Raised discharge press to 11.4 barA.
Letting LHe level build.
