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

        ELMB production status:

         

        Concerning the ELMB upgrade, there are 2 development path: ELMB2 and ELMB++. Each path is focused on a different aspect of the requirements.

        The ELMB2 is fully backward compatible upgrade solution preserving the existing infrastructure, alongside the improved radiation tolerance due to substituting the most venerable components (optocouplers, voltage regulators and, optionally, the microcontroller can be replaced with the radtol version ATmegaS128).

        The ELMB2 development is finished and the 1st production run is competed. Its radiation tolerance has been investigated at CHARM, CC60 and JSI, the data are being processed and the reports should be available shortly.

         

        ELMB2 cost per board is:

        1)      ELMB2 with STANDARD microcontroller - 120 CHF

        2)      ELMB2 with RADTOLERANT microcontroller - 375 CHF

        3)      ELMB2 motherboard - 150 CHF

        ELMB which we currently are using in gas control systems - 85CHF
