GAS M&O meeting 11 June 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/826057/

 

ALICE #no elog

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 #no elog

  • RPC
    • change value of R134a MFC from 3% to 2%
  • TRT
    • They need new pipes in distribution racks this week —> Kacper
  • Valve island
    • Finished valve island panel, only the one of RPC postponed to when the system will be in stop
  • TGC
    • Investigation of flowcell status —> start this week
    • Detection head found a small npentane leak in the rack membrane —> Kacper to follow up
    • 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 #1837

  • DT
    • Differential pressure sensor mounted —> missing electrical connection —> Andrea/Patrick
    • Need to start to pull the pneumatic pipes for the new pneumatic rack
  • RPC
    • OFF
    • 3rd purifier columns mounted
    • 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)
    • Finishing rack at P5
    • Missing 36 flowcells —> Michal
    • Problem with all bubblers (input wrong diameter) —> Andrea to modify at the supplier
    • 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 #887(piquet elog)

  • 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
    • to prepare a plot with O2 concentration and pressure atmospheric —> Beatrice
  • RICH2
    • In Run
    • Still small leak in high pressure part of compressor
    • Modification to recuperate CF4: membrane <-> purifier —> done
    • Found leaks in mixer and exhaust —> to quantify the leak —> Patrick/Luca
    • Found leak in 2nd membrane of RICH2 (around the connection of the body)
      • In case we can use RICH1 membrane, which is not leaking. Roberto suggested to use it as third membrane
    • Remote control of the compressor —> done
    • Check maximum flow that we can send to compressor —> Luca
  • OT
    • SG racks can be sent in Meyrin

Reminder:

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

 

PIQUET

  • Nothing to report

 

GENERAL

  • Krzysztof show a presentation about LS2 control system upgrade
    • Mixer regulation of PID is doing but not for the MFC —> Michal to check with Patrick how to do
    • Profibus card has an internal functional diagnosis: to try —> Michal/Krzysztof
    • New presentation of diagnosis of profibus at end of the month
  • MFC calibration
    • We will start to send MFC to Bronkhost
    • Beatrice show the list: only in ATLAS and CMS we have MFC to send.
    • First list of MFC to send:
      • ATLAS: MDT high flow, TRT CO2 high flow, TGC (CO2 and nPentane) —> Kacper
      • CMS: CSC high flow, DT open mode (Beatrice to verify with DT), RPC Humidifier —> Andrea to dismount, Kacper to send
