GAS M&O meeting 20 May 2019

Present: Beatrice, Patrick, Andrea, Fred, Gianluca, Kacper, Mara, Luca, Roberto

Absent: Michal, LPh (sick leave)

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/820841/

 

ALICE #no elog (LPh in sick leave)

  • MTR modification: under discussion with Arturo —> No manpower to install the pipe and cable until July —> LPh to follow up
  • Next week upgrade PLC for TOF

Reminder:

  • MTR problem with humidifier (with GC we measure 1/3 of H2O with respect to the beginning of the test) —> LPh to investigate

 

ATLAS #1814

  • RPC
    • Now ok with new R134a MFC with low flow
  • TRT
    • They need new pipes in distribution racks —> next week—> Kacper
    • TRT envelop problem solved: TRT people uploaded the wrong config file
  • Valve island
    • Valve islands for MDT to install this week for 4 racks (which is for one panel).
    • One panel is together with RPC, so it has to be postponed
    • Idea is to do 4/5 panels this year
  • TGC
    • Missing 18 V power supply —> not reading of flow of CO2 —> Kacper/Patrick to check (pending since 06/05)
    • We need to add 48 flowcells for the NSW: do we have them? —> Fred to follow up with Michal

Reminder:

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

 

CMS #1811

  • DT
    • Differential pressure sensor mounted —> missing electrical connection —> next week —> Andrea/Patrick
    • They think to have a deviation in MFC of low flow —> to keep in mind
  • RPC
    • Modification of piping for injection mixture from purge
    • Need to change the MFC of R134a with the one of ATLAS: piping to modify
    • Andrea discussed the fittings for the dummy chambers. Idea is to have the pressure sensors at the output of the dummy chamber —> to check together 23 May
  • SX5 mixer
    • ready
  • GEM
    • Missing quicks in GE2/1
    • Purge and back-up in CO2 installed in gas room (used TOTEM line)
    • ZEC finished piping in USC
    • Ar and CO2 MFCs to change with the new one and to install safety valve in distribution rack
    • GE positive side will be installed on 13/06
  • Other
    • Problem with PGS in SF6 in the scale of battery (13/05) —> Michal to investigate —> problem still there

 

LHCb #1813

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
    • to monitor the Air content with the Analysis Chain (O2) and with GC for N2 (every two weeks) —> Mara
    • it seems we are already taking Air
    • Some joints in RICH1 detector were damaged (http://eloggas.cern.ch/GASSYSOperation%26Maintenance/1815)
  • RICH2
    • In Run
    • RIX pipes in high pressure is ok
    • Leak in a valve in the high pressure line —> to fix next week
    • Battery full of N2 —> to empty and clean with CO2 —> Patrick
    • Check maximum flow that we can send to compressor —> Luca
    • For week 22: modify piping to have membrane + purifier and add remote control of the compressor
  • OT
    • SG racks can be sent in Meyrin

Reminder:

  • MWPC in run with Ar/CO2
    • Rack 64 —> to investigate

 

PIQUET

  • Nothing to report

 

GENERAL

  • Add folder in GasGroup for the technical documentation —> Beatrice
  • Discussion on the exhaust module
    • ALICE MTR: add zimmerli in Mixer and module electrical for the mixer. Ok for the exhaust: test during PLC change
    • ALICE TOF ???
    • CMS CSC, DT, RPC: to do before PLC upgrade
  • Mixer Zimmerli+ rotameter control —> to do all together in one system
  • Discussion on Zimmerli in exhaust
