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 |

Friday, April 21, 2017, 08:19, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, , , Low frequency on TCS TGHT flow sensor.
|
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 |

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

Monday, April 24, 2017, 16:06, David Wang, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM2, , Crane main hoist strane noise when lifting up TM2
|
When lifting up TM2 (20000lbs) this afternoon, TH crane has a strange noise on main hoist. The module was lift up less than 1 feet.when strange
sound was noticed. The module move was stopped right away,and module was lowed back to SHC. The strange noise was confirmed later with SEG
block six inches lifting up. Gordon crane technician will be here to tomorrow morning to investigate the problem. |
|
Monday, April 24, 2017, 16:11, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, , TCS TP1s is restarted.
|
TCS IG1S is switched on as well. The reason to start the pump is to prepare a possible extended TM2 conditioning at TCS caused by TH crane issue.
TCS:TP1 and TP2 are not switched on for this. |

Wednesday, April 26, 2017, 10:24, David Wang, ITW, Standard Operation, TM2, , TM2 ITW
|
TM2 was moved and connected in ITW yesterday afternoon. After roughing down, ITW turbo pumps are started. ITW TP4 can not be started to full speed. ISAC
ops kept it at low speed mode with less than 1.0A current draw on pump. ITW IG1s shows red as well. I will take a look on them today when beam is off.

Monday, May 01, 2017, 12:32, David Wang, Crane, Repair, , , TH crane burning smell
|
TH crane burning smell showed again this morning. It appeared after 1-1.5 hours of continuously using during the F308 flasks moving in TH.After a certain
time of using I think the brake gap is reduced because of thermal expansion. The main hoist and brakes work fine still. We knew these brakes gap
are tight especially on west side. So, It is not surprised that this burning smell appeared again. It does not affect the safe of crane use in my view. |

Monday, May 01, 2017, 13:11, David Wang, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , Electrical Check on TM3 after fibergalss is moved in SHC.
|
RU( coil 1), F (anode), and 60kv bias(HS, Gasline, and MSP) are shorted together. Other lines are good. They are measured between individual
line each other @500V. The megga showed OL. All of them to ground are OL @500V as well. EL is grounded during check. |

Thursday, May 04, 2017, 14:06, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , A vacuum to air leak on TM3 service cap round side panel was found and fixed..
|
During TM3 roughing down yesterday afternoon,The vacuum gauges CG1 and CG1S stopped at 1.20 torr and refused to drop down. Leak detector was used to
found where the problem was. LD was in rough detecting mode and showed 2.7xE-6 atm.cc/sec as base leak rate. Spray medium amount of helium to TM3
service top, and found this leak was on round panel of TM3 side wall. LR climbed to E-4 atm.cc/sec range on helium spraying. In my vie,One 10# socket head |

Friday, May 05, 2017, 11:06, David Wang, Crane, Standard Operation, TM3, , TH crane is used for 5 shielding blocks transferring.
|
TH crane is used for transferring five shielding blocks(30000lbs) today. All brakes work fine. Mostly, I do not need crane slow up motion for
this job so during 1 hour moving, no rattle sound and burning smell has been found. I think TH crane is good to use as we decided. |

Friday, May 05, 2017, 11:53, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , sparking on TM3 serice cap top.
|
Sparking was found this morning inside HV cover on TCS in TH while TM3 was HV conditioning at TCS. The TCS bias was set to 50KV when I found this spark.
It sparks between HV cover front side wall to a KF 25 clamp on HS water terminal. The KF 25clamp is used in this situation on HS water line top because
the HS line is opened inside module, and we need a vacuum seal on the top of this line. Actually, The clap is much smaller than the corona ring on |

Tuesday, May 09, 2017, 07:00, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , Follow up Aurelia's entry, TM3 and TCS current limits investigation.
|
Aurelia and I investigated this current limit issue May 8th. First, By separating TM3 from TCS. we found the problem is on TCS side. We did a Megga
test on TM3 as well. TM3 is good at 1KV megga test. After that, The insulators between TCS to ground is test. they are good which could hold 1G ohm at
1000V megga test. So the problem should be on power supply side including power supply itself ,cables and transformer. Later, Tom and John found |

Tuesday, May 09, 2017, 12:45, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 service tray side panel is cleaned and installed back to TM3
|
TM3 service tray side panel is cleaned and installed back to TM3 this morning. I visually inspected service tray insulators. Nothing is changed comparing
to inspection before.Nine screws are installed on panel to hold it onto TM3. |

Friday, May 12, 2017, 07:42, David Wang, Crane, Repair, , , TH crane burning smell, smoke, and big noise on east side main hoist brake assembly.
|
This morning, when I prepare for today's crane check, The crane made a very strong noise without any load during the full speed up motion. I stopped
the crane right away, and noticed that east side of main hoist motor area was smoking . The crane was moved to east end. And, I climbed up to the top,
and found the smoke is coming form brake side, and should be produced by braking. The smell is same as before.Unless other thing is wrong, I think |

Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 08:31, David Wang, South Hot-Cell, Standard Operation, TM4, , Leak check on TM4 HS line at SHC
|
Chad and I finished leak check on HS line with UCx target installed on it. Base Leak rate:0.0X 10^-9 atm.cc/sec, Base pressure 0.0X 10 ^-4 torr.
Sprayed helium to VCR joints. No leak has been found . The line will be pressurized with helium at TCS.
Helium pressure test on TM4 HS line is done at TCS. BLR 0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec. 70psi helium , 2 minutes. No response. The line is leak free. |
