GAS M&O meeting 29 July 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/837860/

 

ALICE #no elog

  • MTR
    • Dummy chamber: to ask to Arturo for manpower to install the pipes
    • When re-started system there were several recipes not active

 

ATLAS #1917

  • TRT
    • On-going modification of pipes in exhaust
  • TGC
    • To keep checking status of flowcells
    • Check with Patrick if there could be an electrical problem for the ELMB—> Beatrice/MIchal
  • MDT
    • Started P&ID modification for the second pump

 

CMS #1909

  • DT
    • changed one ELMB+motherboard because flow of one distribution rack was at zero
  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Discussion about re-starting in November: to meet this week to prepare the list
  • CSC
    • Found one leak on red valve in distribution rack
    • Tune of two Zimmerli in exhaust
    • During storm, buffer went to 850 mbar and need to regulate exhaust: to check if the regulation valve of the pump works correctly because with 850 mbar there should not be any problem
    • Flow in one distribution rack was at zero: the cable of the ELMB was damaged: modified by Michal
  • GEM
    • First test for commissioning
    • Still to change the MFC
    • Regulation valve in pump was mounted on the other way around
    • Missing pressure sensor in distribution on output in WinCC-OA —> Michal to ask to Marc to add
    • There is not pressure sensor on chamber —> to take out in WinCC-OA
    • New distribution channels connection by Daniel: to test each channel —> Daniel and Andrea

 

LHCb #no 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
  • RICH2
    • Recuperation on-going
  • OT
    • SG racks can be sent in Meyrin —> Luca

Reminder:

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

 

PIQUET

  • During storm, CMS CSC buffer went to 850 mbar and need to regulate exhaust: to check if the regulation valve of the pump works correctly because with 850 mbar there should not be any problem

 

GENERAL

  • CF4 Recovery
    • Luca gave a summary about status of CF4 recovery
  • Regulation valve
    • Luca gave a summary about status of test of regulation valves
    • Next step: to test with R134a and still look for companies
    • Fred suggested to look for a motor to move the manual valve
    • Beatrice suggested to add a second line in the pre-distrubution in CMS RPC to test the valve directly in CMS during the period November-February when system will be on
  • ELMB
    • Discussion about ELMB stock: Michal to check how many ELMB we have
  • MFC
    • Kacper checked the PID internally in the MFC —> to prepare a summary with comparison wrt WinCC-OA
