GAS M&O meeting 1 April 2019

Present: Beatrice, Patrick, Roberto, Kacper, Andrea, Michal, Fred, LPh

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/808977/

 

ALICE #no elog

  • TPC: need to weld a pipe and finishing pipes inside the clean room —> LPh to check with Chilo per deadline
  • TPC pump need to send to company for maintenance
  • MTR problem with humidifier (with GC we measure 1/3 of H2O with respect to the beginning of the test) —> LPh to investigate
  • HMPID: changed FESTO module
  • MTR: LPh explained the modifications to do in MTR.

 

ATLAS #1764

  • ID flushing: 24 V power supply broken —> changed
  • RPC O2 sensor prepared last week and to installed this week in “after pump”
  • Some safety valves to check
  • RPC distribution: new cables of flowcell needed —> to send for an external society —> Patrick to check with society
  • Valve Island/FESTO module to install

From previous meeting:

  • Flowcell for new RPC racks —> Kacper to give the flow necessary —> to decide if 3 or 5 mm

 

CMS #1762

  • USC ODH test foreseen after Easter (half a day). Keep in mind that we can move to dry air
  • USC FESTO block to change after Easter —> need to stop all gas systems
  • RE-1 and RE-2 connection in the cavern on-going: RE-1 connected and lines tested
  • New FESTO block will be installed next year
  • CSC restarted on Friday and this week we re-start the CF4 recovery
  • GEM missing pipes in USC —> Zec
  • RPC pre-distribution need to modify two racks for RE3.1/4.1

From previous meeting:

  • Need to stop RPC 2 weeks —> after Easter, to coordinate with some maintenance

 

LHCb #1763

  • RICH1 buffer in place, pipe connected, need to connect bubbler and pressure sensors
  • RICH2 membrane: pressure test on Wednesday. Already started to prepare: need to change Ar pressure reducer
  • CF4 compressor in aging test for 2 weeks
  • MWPC to change membrane pump
  • SciFi trolley: software tested in laboratory —> test in place on Wednesday

 

PIQUET

  • Problem with rack 61 in CMS CSC —> Leak in pneumatic lines —> Andrea to check today

 

GENERAL

  • Need to test of O2 chemical sensor for aging/outgassing —> Beatrice to see how to do
  • For the back-up system need to check what we have in CMS RPC
  • Fred show the maintenance plan for the mixer that he prepared
    • Discussion on safety valves in the mixer (line#10 in the excel file)
    • Add check in WinCC-OA

From previous meeting:

  • Back-up with TESCOM —> to check where we have them in the back-up systems
  • Kacper found dirty stuff in the ID flushing Krohne —> to check the CMS CSC Krohne when system will be in stop

 

PLC/Software

  • Discussed planning for after Easter: need to move CSC and DT at ~ mid June. ALICE TRD foreseen at beginning of september, maybe to move?
  • Reminder: there is also CLOUD software to modify: from 15/07 for all summer
  • Profibus: two more weeks of delay (starting from tomorrow)
  • TN router change: planning in INDICO
    • for data server —> 4 hours without communication
    • for router (where PLC connected) —> 4 hours without communication
