Subject: The Chiller is down

The chiller tripped off on March 7, 2014.

  • Water is not flowing into the chiller; paddle wheel shows no signal.
  • Tried turning on the chiller locally; a few seconds later, it tripped off. 
  • Motor is not responding;
  • EPICS is not responding;
  • All other water flow signals to TGHT, TBHT, HS, are responding;

Continue investigating...

The water line to the chiller is disconnected, and is re-connected straight to the TGHT power supply.  The paddle wheel is responding - the cooling line in the power supply is not blocked.

It is confirmed the chiller is broken. 

Will discuss if we can use the Evaporator without a chiller but with the DI water connected directly to the TGHT power supply....

The chiller was replaced with a "new" one.  

Checked the chiller interlock - It's working.  

The evaporator is now operational.

Note about Auto-ramping program.

Previously the auto-rampiong program takes the Chiller as part of the reference to the interlocks.  Because the New chiller is not connected to EPICS; all the references to the Chiller on the auto-ramping program has been removed in order for it to function.
