TM#2 has been moved from the south west silo to the conditioning station.

TCS is under roughing now.

TCS is under roughing now.

2016-04-14, Started TCS and TM2 turbo-pumps yesterday afternoon. Overnight pumping down is fine.

 Thursday, April 14, 2016, 07:50: RGA on

Friday, April 15, 2016, 08:09 : Ratio between water and air is higher than normal (indicating possible air leak). See attachment. 3.5 more H2O than N2.  (Ratio in TM3 Nov 2015 was 82:1)

A leak was found on the o-ring between the module flange and TCS. This could be fixed by cleaning the o-ring and sealing surface. The Window line is not closed and was accidentally pressurized with He on April 25

Tuesday, April 26, 2016, 08:47: David started the water package.

Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 08:15: Switched off chiller / water cooling.

Wednesday, April 27, 2016, 14:41: Switched chiller / water cooling back on.

Anders reported a possible air leak on TM2 and TCS by watching RGA  this morning. I found the quick connector on F terminal on the top of the module is leaking air. It is only used as "X" terminal for Febiad without  water. So, it should be blind capped instead of installing a quick connector. It was installed with a  blind cap before. I borrowed it for leak check on coil lines at SHC, but forgot to put it back right away. Instead, I put a quick connector on it later. This caused the problem. Anyway The TCS need to be vented , and a blind cap  will be installed on the F terminal.

2014-04-18, 9:24AM, I changed the quick connector with a blind cap on F terminal. the rough pump is started now.

Weekly update.This is the last update on 2016 winter shut down schedule. The new TH schedule for beam130  will be posted weekly after this. All jobs in winter shut down schedule were finished on time.

The following water circuits in TM2 are connected at TCS and running with water now : target oven+ - ( one circuit), tube heater+ -( one circuit), coil1 and 2(one circuit), MSP, and EE. The HS and window are open circuits now so they can not be supplied with water.  During the check before we knew HS and window circuit were close to perfectly sealed. So, The test result should not be affected without them

The TCS water pumps are started at 8:28 AM. All TCS high vacuum gauge readings are getting slight better after that.

 TCS water system worked fine overnight. I turned off TCS water system at 6:16 AM this morning. Start of purging TM2 water lines for helium pressure test again this morning.

2016-4-28 7:58AM. Disconnected TM2 water lines at TCS. Purged them with compression air each for 5 minutes. 

Anders and I finished the most part of TM2 water lines helium pressure test yesterday.I list the system parameters and test result as below:

TCS  IG1: 9.8XE-8 torr,  TCS IG2: 9.6Xe-7 torr, TCS IG1S: 3.5XE-9 torr, TCS CG1A: 10 m torr

Helium pressure: 70 psi. Test time: 5 minutes for each individual circuit.  1 hour for all  lines together test.

 Leak detector base leak rate:0.0 X E -9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0X E-4 torr. LD was always restored or closely restored to the bottom  scale after each individual test.

The HS and Window lines will be tested later with new target installed and  window line gaskets restored.

  I switched off TCS and TM2 vacuum pumps. The TM2 will be disconnected at TCS today and moved to silo on next Monday.

TM#2 was moved to the SW Silo from the Conditioning Station. TM#3 was from from the NW Silo to the Conditioning Station.

TM#3 was moved from the conditioning station to the NE Silo. TM#2 was moved from the SW Silo to the South hot cell.

Ta#48 has been installed onto TM2. Also new window gaskets were installed.

High current fasteners were torqued to 130 in lbs. Shutter side of the containment box recieved new fasteners.

Chad and I leak checked the TM2 HS and window lines after new target installation.  The window line was very easy pumped down on LD. But, The HS line only could pumped to 2-3 torr at first. Chad changed the VCR gaskets on HS line(target). It solved the problem. The LD could pumped  both of Window and HS lines to the bottom scale. Chad sprayed lots helium around the VCR joints.  No leak has been found. WE will do helium pressurizing test on them at TCS.

Electrical check of TM#2 with Ta#48 attached. See the attached PDF for details.

TM#2 with Ta#48 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

I changed TCS tank top flange seal(o-ring 42.00"ID X 0.275" DIA) this morning before TM2 was moved to TCS.

TM2 and TCS vacuum system has been connected. I started all turbo pumps. Everything is good so far.

These two lines are passed helium pressure test this morning. The LD base leak rate 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. The base pressure 0.0 X E-4 torr. Helium pressure 70 psi. applied helium to both line for 5minutes each. No response on LD during the test.

The HV  cover is installed on to TM2 after the connections. The HV key is returned back to B2 level. The TCS Faraday cage is locked.
