GAS M&O meeting 03 June 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/823532/

 

ALICE #no elog

  • MTR
    • modification: under discussion with Arturo —> No manpower to install the pipe and cable until July —> LPh to follow up
  • TPC
    • to finish piping connection for the surface
    • Pump to send in maintenance
  • TRD
    • discussion on rupture disk to install
    • they want to have all maintenance done by October
    • PLC+logo to do in September and to check for flowcells problem
    • to stop last week of August for all maintenance (total 3 weeks)

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 #1833

  • RPC
    • O2 sensor spikes: due to disconnection of chambers in the system
  • TRT
    • They need new pipes in distribution racks —> Kacper
  • Valve island
    • Finishing valve island panel, only the one of RPC postponed to when the system will be in stop
  • TGC
    • Investigation of flowcell status —> Michal/Mara next week
    • Missing 18 V power supply —> done
    • 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 #1830

  • DT
    • Differential pressure sensor mounted —> missing electrical connection —> Andrea/Patrick
  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Modification of piping for injection mixture from purge
    • Need to change the MFC of R134a with the one of ATLAS: piping to modify
    • 3.1 distribution racks: missing pipes and electrical connection
  • GEM
    • Installation positive racks mid-June (13/06)
    • Missing quicks in GE2/1
    • Ar and CO2 MFCs to change with the new one and to install safety valve in distribution rack
    • Beatrice to check when they want to run the gas system
  • Other
    • AUG test postponed due to fire alarm
    • Problem with PGS in SF6 in the scale of battery (13/05) —> Michal to investigate

 

LHCb #no elog (Patrick in sick leave)

  • 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
  • RICH2
    • In Run 
    • Finishing modification to recuperate CF4 (modify piping to have membrane + purifier and add remote control of the compressor) —> this week
    • Check maximum flow that we can send to compressor —> Luca
    • Summary of membrane test: http://eloggas.cern.ch/RICH2+Recuperation/20 
  • 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: done
  • Start to clean-up GasGroup folder

 

PLC/Software

  • TOF PLC: few problems with I/O of purifier to fix tomorrow and then to try to turn it (especially for purifier)
  • Next week MTR
  • CSC would like to change the date of PLC upgrade —> Beatrice to check
