Entry  Monday, April 24, 2017, 09:52, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, , Switch off TCS water system and vacuums 

The TCS bias was turn off before that. The TM2 and TCS are still under vacuum now.

Entry  Friday, April 21, 2017, 08:19, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, , , Low frequency on TCS TGHT flow sensor. TCS_water_lines_001.JPGTCS_water_lines_002.JPGTCS_water_lines_003.JPG

Anders and I found a low frequency issue(13hz only) on TCS TGHT flow sensor when doing TM4 conditioning. By trouble shooting, We found the module water lines are good. the restriction cause this problem in on TCS supply or return water lines to TGHT.  I switched TGHT lines with MSP water lines. The wheel frequency on TGHT is 67.0hz which is pretty high. Now, MSP is using the original TGHT water line(flow sensor frequency 13hz). Flow sensors and thermocouples are switched as well so no control system change is needed on epic page. Everything are re-labeled in TH.  With less brazing joints closing to heater source, the MSP line should be ok. By further troubleshooting this issue, I think the problem on this low flow sensor frequency problem is on those 1/2" Parker gray water lines inside that big  6" white pipe.  See attachments. The lines are are twisted, and could be squeezed in my view. Since everything is enclosed in that big pipe, It is hard to tell where the lines are squeezed and cause this restriction. Comparing to an open guide chase, this round pipe makes everything  difficult. Hard to trouble shooting , hard to remove lines or add new lines. It only looks beautiful. I tried all I can do, But, I have no quick solution to solve this problem permanently.  Maybe, Rob walker and his technicians has better skill or more strength on removing old lines, or adding new lines to solve the problem.

Entry  Thursday, April 13, 2017, 14:16, David Wang, Crane, Repair, , , TH crane: east side main hoist brake assembly is replaced.  

Gordon Crane technician Tom Kauss finished the replacement of the east side main hoist brake assembly. A new set up is installed. he adjusted gap too close during first time try. So, the smell appeared when operate the brake. He increased the gap to a proper distance then. It looks like everything works fine now. Still, The brake need to be tested with 10K lBS load on it. We will do the load test on next Thursday when he come here to replace west side brake assembly.  Before that, No module move or other heavy lifting action should be fulfilled on TH crane.

2017-04-20. Tom Kauss finished the replacement of west side main hoist brake assembly. The old set up will be rebuilt, and stored as spare for the future. The load test is done.  10k lbs load was used for testing. Brakes work fine. No strange noise and smell has been found during the test.

There is a smallleak HS which we did not see before. The HS is checked in SHC  with helium spray yesterday. We did not see the leak . We checked this HS line every time when new target was installed. So mostly, this small leak is from VCRs connected to new target. But, we can not confirm it.  Still this line will be checked on next new target. We should have a better understanding when checking next time.  Other line are almost same as we checked in last year November. I did not see essential change.

Found spark signs on TM3's containment on the side of the water blocks. They may be OLD or/and NEW sparking signs, but this in not determined at this moment. Please see picture: first attachment. First and second attachment show the profiles of water block and HV lines.

Entry  Wednesday, April 12, 2017, 12:51, David Wang, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , TM3 Ram readings @ SHC 

 We have a ram installed on SHC pole which is 0.5 meter to  module shielding block surface. the readings we got today during TM3 move:
at containment box center (highest reading): 3.14 msv/hr.
at bottom  of shielding blocks: 960 usv/hr.
at 1/4  of  shielding blocks height from  bottom :700usv/hr.
at 1/2 of shielding blocks height from bottom: 340usv/hr.
at 3/4 of shielding blocks height from bottom:140u/sv/hr.
   The Ram is behind the pole and measured the surface which is 90 degree right side of that opened service tray side.

Entry  Monday, April 10, 2017, 11:23, Travis Cave, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM1, no target, Module move 

 TM#1 has been moved from the conditioning station to the north west silo.  There was a slight delay in the move as the limits for the hoist drum got way out of whack and had to be adjusted.

Entry  Friday, April 07, 2017, 09:53, Travis Cave, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM1, no target, Electrical Check and TM1 other checks TM1_elec_chk_no_tgt.PDF

Results of an electrical check on TM#1 with no target attached to it.

 I use this e-log entry for TM1 notes as well  1. TM1 IG1 is a dual filament gauge . Its filament is very close to grid now. It shorted one time during the pumping down. It still works fine so far . But, we may need to change it if we use this module in TS again.

TCS 1G1 and 1G1S are pumped to 5Xe-6 torr. IG2 stayed at 2.5XE-5 torr. Since no target is installed on module , I capped top of HS water line. Maybe, the small o-ring seal in cap is too old, I found a big leak on this seal when i use LD check it. That is the reason IG2 stayed too high. Still, Leak check and helium presuure test are fulfilled on TM1. Leak detector BLR 5XE-7 atm.cc/sec, BP 0.0XE-4 torr9.  Back up pressure is 51 mtorr which is high because of leak on HS line cap seal so LD BLR is high. At this level, Ta+-, Tube +-, MSP,  EE are good.  Other air to vacuum seal are good as well at this leak rate.  I will check and change small o-ring seal in HS cap. The TM1 is functional basically.

Hi Curtis

 

Further to the emergency service call at the Isac Target Hall on Thursday March 23rd, we advise as follows:

 

It was reported that the hoist was making an unusual noise and that there was a strong brake odour during operation.

The lift was completed using the auxiliary hoist.

 

A man-lift was arranged and Senior Service Technician Tom Kauss attended site the next morning to troubleshoot.

He determined that one of two hoist brakes (walkway side) had a strong odour and on closer examination it appeared that the 

brake lining material was breaking down and particulate lining material was getting caught between the lining and the discs.

These lining fragments were rubbing and burning off during the hoist operation.

The end cover of the brake had an accumulation of brake lining fragments 

The lining was not overly worn, but appears to be becoming friable, perhaps with age or exposure to radiation.

 

The brake was cleaned with compressed air to remove the friable material and thoroughly tested. 

A test load of approximately 10 tons was lifted and the hoist handled the load without issue

The brake fragment issue did not recur while we on site and the hoist was recommissioned for use.

 

To guard against the likely recurrence of this condition on this critical application crane, and as both brakes have seen identical conditions in operation, 

we recommend that both brake assemblies be replaced.

The brake assembly would include the brake coil, friction discs, steel brake discs and the brake springs

TRIUMF does not have a spare brake on hand, therefore one of the removed brakes could be rebuilt and kept on hand.

Entry  Thursday, April 06, 2017, 12:33, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM1, , TM1 rust inpsection and removal 

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.

Entry  Wednesday, April 05, 2017, 14:13, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM1, , TM1 and TCS vacuum system are connected together 

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