Cyclotron Vacuum Cleaning Tool - Initial Test |
|
|
The vacuum cleaning tool (TRH1366, vacuum cleaning configuration) was tested in the cyclotron tank. The following test were performed:
1. Access to areas of interest - are we able to reach certain areas?
- Magnet face: yes
- Inside cryopanels: yes (checked around swipe mark # 32)
- D-gap: yes, plenty of clearance and simple radial move to vacuum
- Ex 1A area: yes
- Tank seal: yes
2. Vacuum cleaning of metal debris underneath Ex 4:
- Some debris that had been present in the tank for many years was vacuumed
- The task was performed with ease by Travis Cave and Adam Newsome
3. Vacuuming of tank seal test:
- Starting at 0 degrees, the tank seal was vacuumed while orbiting until 180 degrees
- It was determined that the vacuum nozzle fit within the physical confines of the area in question, and a rotation function need not be added
- The vacuuming was performed with ease by Travis Cave, with only orbital motion and radial adjustments to account for the D-shape of the tank (as was done with the previous vacuuming method)
* See attached photo. Duct tape and 3D printed part used as described below. Future vacuuming to be done with proper nozzle part. *
Overall the consensus is that this vacuum cleaning tool will be used going forward. The only adjustment deemed necessary at this time is revising the nozzle shape to be smaller in length to fit easier into the areas in question. This was tested with a 3D printed prototype with drawings to be released for this change before next shutdown. |
