TM#1 with UC#9 moved from the conditioning station to west station.

TM1 has been connected to ITW. It is pumping down in ITW with 6 turbo-pumps on.

5 shielding blocks have been transferred from ITE to ITW. ITW is configured to take proton beam. Argon venting system for ITW is ready also.

The TM1 and ITW  were vented with argon gas last night. TM1 had been disconnected in ITW this morning.

  TM1 has been connected in ITW . The new roughing pump replaced on last Friday works good. I started all turbo pumps in ITW. The ITW TP1 controller was broken during the starting time. Dimo and I changed a new controller for ITW TP1 in electrical room. The pumping down is good so far. ITW water supplies to TM1 only.      

Air leak was found at the Solenoid control valve located in the Pre-Separator & DB0 room.  The gasket between the solenoid body and its manifold block was broken, see attached photos. The gasket and solenoid body were replaced. Air was turned back on to IV5 (B/L gate valve) with no apparent air leaks. The gate valve was actuated open & closed from the control room seeing both limits successfully.

  TM1 has been disconnected in ITW.

Removed ITW HS and COIL flow rate monitors installed at the beginning of this year. They were installed on these two circuits for testing.They are broken during last run in ITW due to radioactive field.

TM#1 with ZrC#6 has been moved from the conditioning station to west target station.

TM1 has been connected in ITW.  ITW and TM1 turbo pumps have been started. Water is supplied to TM1 only. Everything is good so far.

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

TM1 was disconnected in ITW this morning. Heat shield circuit is purged.

TM1 has been connected in ITW. All turbo pumps are started. The pumping down on ITW is good so far. The water is supplied to TM1 for HV conditioning.

I found primary vacuum back up pressure ITH CG1, CG2, and CG4A were unusually high this morning. They should be about 10 -20 mtorr after one night pumping, but all of thier reading were 340-350-mtorr. Thease cause the current draw on primary turbo pumps were all over 2.0A(should be about 1.0A). I let Paul closed all BVs on primary side . The pressure dropped quickly to normal range after all BVs were closed. This shows the back up line are good. The problem are from   one of  the connections  on primary BVs. I let Paul opened the BVs one by one,but the problem did not show again. Now ,the current draw on the turbo pumps are back to normal also.

I will keep monitoring the system and take a look on all KF25 clamps on BVs once I have a chance to access to ITW.

Dan and I transferred 5 shielding blocks from ITE to ITW. The ITW is configured to take proton beam.

I replaced flow wheel and coil on ITW MSP water flow sensor which is located in ITW pit. Before replacement, I checked the signal strength and frequency form e-board on this circuit. The signal was good in 10minutes watching. Still, I replaced them. The flow sensor works fine after replacement. I made a comment  on Isac e-fault system about this issue.

 See e-log entry for ITE for details. The copper bars have not been removed. They can be used for testing the new power supplies.

Local measurement was done by Ray with a voltmeter. The voltmeter was consistent with EPICS readback and local readback on the power supplies. A voltage drop of 0.137 V @ 580 A was measured across the bus bar from the TGHT power supply to the cooled transmission lines.

Dan and I replaced pedal wheels and coils on ITW water flow sensors. It is a shut down job we did every two years. See attachment for detail.

TH shut down activities schedule from Feb 23th-March 25th. The schedule will be updated each week. See attachment 1.

Feb-27-2015: Updated the schedule, and uploaded as PDF file. See attachment 2.
