Electrical check of TM#3 after the insulator repair. See attached PDF for details.

Chad and I leak checked the TM3 HS water line with new target installed.  No leak has been found during the check. Leak detector base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0xE-4 torr. The line will be helium pressurized at CS later.

Electrical check of the TM#3 with SiC#30 attached. Also an electrical check of TM#3 after the cleaning of ground electrode with no target attached.

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

TM3 HS water line helium pressure test is done at CS. 70 psi helium , 3 minutes.Base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0xE-4 torr.  No response. The line is leak free.

See attached pdf and DocuShare for more photos. It may be possible to clean some of it from the Ground Electrode.

 Chad cleaned the GND electrode yesterday June 26th - see attached PDF. Photos on DocuShare.

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

There were some problems this morning with provision of FEBIAD gas to the the target at ITE.  It was suspected that the gas line was improperly connected to the module, or that the valves at the module were not opened.

Remote Handling was asked to open the HV cover on TM3 at ITE and check the connection of the FEBIAD gas line.  Grant Minor, Maico Dalla Valle, Dan McDonald, and Anders Mjos entered the Target Hall before lunch on Work Permit I2014-07-07-1.

Maico entered ITE with suit and respirator, disengaged / disconnected the interlocks and removed the HV cover.  He inspected the FEBIAD gas line and found that it was properly connected, and that the valves were both open.  The gas line is shown in the attached image, with both valves marked in red.

Grant and Anders went into the electrical room to examine the supply gas bottle and supply circuit, and found that the supply gas pressure to the regulating valve was low.  It was concluded that the problem was not at the Target Module / Target Station.

Grant returned to the Target Station and instructed Maico to replace the HV cover.  After this was done, Grant confirmed with Jon Aoki over the phone that the interlock switch signals were both reading "OK".

Friedhelm Ames made an entry in today's ISAC Ops e-log regarding the supply pressure to the regulating valve.

5 Shielding blocks have been transferred from ITW to ITE. The ITE is configured to take proton beam.

Just some notes on the install of SiC#30 on TM3 last month...It was installed with all new fasteners and torque values provided by Anders were used...of main interest is probably the main high current fasteners which were torqued to 150 in lbs.

SiC#30 has been removed from TM3. A quick exam of TM3 source tray did not  yield any obvious signs of damage.

9 pin connector on the target showed the usual sparking/arcing marks.

Heat shield has been removed from the target. Inside of heat shield has some unusual marks on it and quite a lot of black deposits.

TM#3 with no target has been moved to the northwest silo for storage.

TM#3 has been moved from the North West Silo to the conditioning station.

TM3 has been connected in CS. All water supplies are bypassed theTM3 on the top of the service cap. TM3 TP2 was difficult to start. It is started finally after couple of time try.The pump runs fine now.

 The BIAS voltage was brought up between 1:30pm and 5pm. Sparks tripped the BIAS power supply at voltages between 20 - 24 kV. Multiple attempts were made. The current was about 50-60 uA.

Temperature in the cooling circuit is too hight to do a HV test. The cooling circuit was started, but shuts off after ~10 m

Thursday, October 16, 2014

David and I found that the fans on the cooling unit on the roof did not run and that the compressors get hot and likely trip on over temperature protection (hot to the touch). We found the manual in the control panel of the unit.

10am: HV to 20kV before a spark tripped the PS. Current at 40 uA - resistivity at 11.9 Mohm

5pm: HV to 20kV before fluctuations in current, then a spark tripped the PS. Current around 40 uA. Resistivity 12.6 Mohm

8am: Staging did not start over night. TS5 temp is 31 deg C, which would have tripped power supplies. Reset and enabled staging.
The system increased staging until all 3 compressors were running.
9am: Cooling supply temperature reached ~3 deg C. Disabled staging and switched off all pumps
2pm: Switched off water circulation for the weekend.

I started TCS water system this morning to check if the chillers work properly.

TM3 TP2 stopped working this morning at 4:00 AM. I tried to start it but failed. On normal start mode , It could not pass 6K RPM. On soft start mode , the pump cant pass 17KRPM. Talked with Anders, We are not going to replace this pump since we are not going to run this module for a while. I will stopped all   vacumm pumps on CS and TM3 this morning.

TM3 has been disconnected at CS. It is vented and ready to move.

CS  vacuum system has been connected to TM3 for control system test(Dave.Morris).
