Subject: B1A:T2CS:FGSEC:RDFLOW noisy, CYCLOTRON Fault 17321 

Secondary flow sensor B1A:T2CS:FGSEC:RDFLOW on the T2 cooling station suddenly became very noisy at around 11 pm, 01 September 2024.

The sensor reading would fluctuate from 0-150 gpm which is beyond typical noise levels for these sensors (~2gpm).

The noise spontaneously ended at around 4 am, 05 September 2024.

 

The noise likely originated from some stuck debris preventing the paddle wheel from turning normally that got spontaneously dislodged.

Alternatively, changes in the environment temperature could have broken some electrical contact that recovered when the temperature cooled over the weekend. We will make a note to look into this sensor in the coming shutdown and perform preventative replacement of components.
