 Target mounted in EVAP2. Pump down started

Friday, October 16, 2020, 12:05

Pressure goes up. Checked with Ferran and he says that the valve IEVAP2:RV1 automatically closes sometimes. WEIRD, to be chacked.

Friday, October 16, 2020, 15:20

IGP2 bottoms at 0.2T, and doesn't increase recover if I close RV1 while it shouldn't (as shown before). --> Vented to restart from scratch

Friday, October 16, 2020, 15:45

Pumped down again, vacuum went down to 0.16 and then started raising until ~0.18. This time the valve was open indeed! opening and closing the valve had no effect on the vacuum as if the  booster pump was not effective

Friday, October 16, 2020, 16:27

Tried a THIRD time, this time effectively, to turn the turbo ON. I managed to, but the turbo makes weird spinning sounds every ~30 sec. Moreover, its pumping down plot seems quite weird  - see spike UP while pumping. Could it be related to a dysfunction of the backing pump?
