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.
