The T1 cooling package outlet water pressure sensor (B1A:T1CS:PGOUT) was replaced this morning with a new unit. Over the last few months the sensor readout had been steadily decreasing (from around 20psi to 4psi) with no corresponding decrease in inlet pressure, and no change in the circuit flowrate (this is how these pressure sensors typically fail).
After installing the new sensor the readback in EPICS returned to the expected value. Although there are no alarms or trips associated with this signal, it is still useful as a diagnostic tool. |
