GAS M&O meeting 12 August 2019

Present: Beatrice, Kacper, Roberto, Michal, Fred, Gianluca, Sabino, Fabio, Federico

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/840481/

 

ALICE #no elog

  • MTR
    • Dummy chamber: to ask to Arturo for manpower to install the pipes
  • TOF
    • Three power supplies changed
  • TPC
    • Power supply of 24 V changed, missing the others that will do with the TRD
    • Two new filters ordered by Fred

 

ATLAS #1928

  • New o-rings ordered and under aging-test
  • TRT
    • Exhaust in the distribution modification to finish
  • TGC
    • To keep checking status of flowcells —> Mara
    • Check with Patrick if there could be an electrical problem for the ELMB—> Beatrice/MIchal

 

CMS #no elog

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • In October RPC will be ready to install several dummy chamber —> to order volumes: Beatrice to check how many
  • DT
    • Pressure sensor on filter pump to modify by adding an impedance: too many fluctuations —> Kacper
    • Also fluctuations in the membrane pressure sensor: to replace 6mm pipe with 4mm (or small) pipe —> Kacper 
  • CSC
    • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
    • Rack 61: strange fluctuations on the regulation valve
  • GEM
    • Problem with CANBUS reported by Michal:
      • rack 61-62 cable not well connected: connector pin were not in the right order
      • rack 64 and 65: canbus cards were covered with paraffin oil (coming from RPC bubbler) —> replaced —> to understand with Andrea what happened
    • Configuration file (web-mass) with some problem: there were some special characters (from labview application): fixed
    • 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
    • Remove bubblers in distribution in WinCC-OA and add safety valves —> Beatrice to provide P&DI to Michal

 

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 stopped because there is something wrong: compressor?
    • Found some leaks (http://eloggas.cern.ch/RICH2+Recuperation/34) —> to try to fix them this week
    • A couple of leaks appear only when compressor is off (same for CMS CSC): to try to keep the compressor ON all time by adding a line of back flow: Roberto will study how to do
  • OT
    • All racks installed in building 20

Reminder:

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

 

PIQUET

 

GENERAL

  • New gas system test-bench (ex-OT)
    • Presentation of layout by Sabino
    • Decision to have around 8-10 volumes of 10 litre to simulate the detector
    • This week: cable tray to install
    • WinCC-OA: to add OT in EP-DT-FS
    • To take a sample in the return line to analyse for aging test —> Fred
  • MFC
    • Kacper checked the PID internally in the MFC —> to prepare a summary with comparison wrt WinCC-OA
  • Ultrasonic leak detector
    • Kacper said that Patrick tested with the company this new leak detector: to ask to Patrick a summary
