Thursday, March 30, 2017, 11:21, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM4, , Leak check on TM4 Ta(-) water lines in service cap
|
Leak check on TM4 Ta(-) water lines in service cap is done. LD base LR after 50minutes pumping down:0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. I sprayed lots helium on welding stems on Ta(-) line in service cap including stems in blue nylon insulator and stems to service tray. no any response has been foun on LD. The Ta(-) line in service cap is leak free.
Totally panel open and leak check time is about 12minutes. Argon vented TCS before leak check this morning. |
Tuesday, April 04, 2017, 10:23, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM4, , Helium pressure leak check on TM4 Ta(-) water lines
|
This morning, The helium pressure leak check on TM4 Ta(-) is done after TM4 finished conditioning yesterday. LD base LR:8.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. Applied 70 psi helium to TM4 TA(-) water line. The LR slowly climbed to 2.2XE-7 atm.cc/sec, and stopped there. Waited for 5 minutes and change at 2.2 X E-7 atm.cc/sec. |

Argon vented TCS and TM4 after pumps are stopped. |
Tuesday, April 04, 2017, 14:39, David Wang, Crane, Standard Operation, , , Crane check main hoist on jogging with shielding plug lifted.
|
Today, I checked TH crane main hoist when shielding plug is installed into ITE pit. I did some jogging actions on main hoist during the operation. Everything looks fine. No burning smell, no strange noise. An outside crane expert suggest that jogging is the worst working situation for crane. We have to use jogging actions during our crane operation. But, we could try to use less jogging when operate the crane. |

|
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. |

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. |

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. |
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. |

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 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. |
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. |
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. But, The life of this brake assembly could be affected. I would like everyone know this issue. We may need to consult Gordon crane as well. Maybe, The gap should be increased up a little bit. On this Friday, I will use crane to transfer 30K lbs shielding blocks. It will be a good test on crane main hoist again. |
