TCS TP1S has been started.

2017-01-23 afternoon: Stopped TP1S. We will use TCS to take TM2 tomorrow afternoon.

Updated target hall schedule for 2017 winter shut down. See attachments 1,2

Update schedule after Febiad beam schedule changed to ITE. See attachments 3,4

I did electrical check before and after Fefiad target installation on TM2. The RU (coil) Is till short to 60KV as before. Other result are good. After Febiad target is installed, Tm2 HS line is leak checked. On leak detector, base leak rate pumping down is much slow  than before.  The base pressure still could be pumped down to 0.0XE-4 torr.  After a long time wait, Chad and I leak checked at 2.2XE-8 atm.cc/sec base leak rate. Chad sprayed lots helium around the fittings and target. No any response has been found on LD. At this leak rate, the target and HS line is leak tight.  The Tm2 has been moved to THC so a heium pressure check will be fulfilled on HS line at TCS to confirm this leak check result.  

TM2 HS line is pressurized with 70 psi helium at TCS. LD base leak rate: 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. Base pressure 0.0XE-4 torr. 5 minutes test time. The leak rate slowly climed to 3.3XE-9 atm.cc/sec and stabled there( 3minutes). base pressure no change. The leak is too small to be concern. We will run this target as this condition.

I connected TCS vacuum system to TM2. The station is under roughing now. All turbo pumps will be started soon.

The move is successful.

Update 2017 winter shut down target hall schedule. See attachments

Target module window  cooling lines at TCS has been modified to use spare 2 channel in TCS: WFB1. The old cooling lines used a spare channel in TCS WFB2(HVC channel) are removed and capped. After change, TCS window cooling lines will be interlocked with heaters. The test run on new lines are good. No leak  on all fittings, and signals on flow and temperature are good.   Control people will be noticed on this change for their following up job.

TCS:TK2 , Water has been refilled to 28.5" level. It was 15.1". Fall protection equipment  are used during the job.

TM#4 has been moved from the SW Silo to the conditioning station.

Yasmine and I did a rust inpsection on TM4 service cap inide surface and shielding plug surface. No rust has been found. Also, all steel bolts on this surface look fine. The inside of silo held this module are rust free as well.  See attachments

TM4 service cap rust are cleaned out at TCS. All top surface of TM4 are wiped and cleaned . The module looks good now. see attachments

A small leak has been found on TM4 Ta(-) which is marked as "B" on terminal blocks. The LD base Leak rate is 1.2XE-8 atm.cc/sec. 70psi helium has been applied to Ta(-) water line for 3minutes. The leak rate went up to 2.5xE-6 atm.cc/sec and stabilized there. Anders found a helium response on RGA helium reading during the same time. This confirms the leak is real. Other lines are leak checked today also. They are good still. All TM4 water lines were leak checked in ITE in 2017 January. They  were all good at 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. See attachment e-log.

Leak check on TM4 Ta(-) water lines in service cap is done. LD base LR after 50minutes pumping down:0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. I sprayed lots helium on welding stems on Ta(-) line in service cap including stems in blue nylon insulator and stems to service tray.  no any response has been foun on LD. The Ta(-) line in service cap is leak free.

 Totally panel open and leak check time is about 12minutes. Argon vented TCS before leak check this morning. 

This morning, The helium pressure leak check on TM4 Ta(-) is done after TM4 finished conditioning yesterday.  LD base LR:8.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. Applied 70 psi helium to TM4 TA(-) water line. The LR slowly climbed to 2.2XE-7 atm.cc/sec, and stopped there. Waited for 5 minutes and change at 2.2 X E-7 atm.cc/sec.

 Argon vented TCS and TM4 after pumps are stopped.

TM#1 has been moved from the North West silo to the conditioning station.

I started two turbo-pumps on TM1 and one small TP on TCS. They are work fine. 

TM1 inside service cap surface and shielding plug surface are visually inspected yesterday. No rust has been found. I cleaned all rust on top of TM1  today.  Rust on TM1 silo  top plate are cleaned as well.

Installation by Marshall. Dave M from controls adjusted circuitry to get TCS:MP1 to start.

Work is being done in preparation for the Module Move Ventilation SAS project
