GAS M&O meeting 02 September 2019

Present: Beatrice, Kacper, Roberto, Patrick, Andrea, Fred, LPh, Mara, Sabino, Fabio, Federico

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/845012/

 

ALICE #1942

  • MTR

Reminder:

    • Dummy chamber: to ask to Arturo for manpower to install the pipes. Arturo said beginning of September
    • Need to do a test on PLC (on/off) —> LPh to check with Martino when it can be done
  • TPC
    • Rack pump re-building on going

Reminder:

    • LPh to prepare a summary on how the system is now —> in 2 weeks
  • TRD
    • Purifier: to review if keep the safety valve or the rupture disk
    • Purifier: safety valve at the input where we have Ar or Ar/H2 at high pressure —> LPh to check with safety

 

ATLAS #1943

  • RPC
    • Problem with the 13ch manifolds —> not possible to use them —> Andrea is checking with the company
  • TRT
    • TFC: to keep on
    • Kacper will install indicator for cooling water for pump module, then he will add in auxiliary to check if it is working and to check with Michal for a final solution
  • MDT
    • Rack 68 (ch 17): one channel is keeping going to zero —> try to change the ELMB

 

CMS #1940

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Ready to start for the modification of purifier
      • with T valves, we have only 5. we put a cap for the sixth one
    • Rack 85: problem of pressure sensors in error —> Michal/Patrick to check
    • Modification of pre-distribution on-going
    • For the new regulation valve: very difficult to find the place in the rack —> to think about
  • DT

Reminder:

    • Pressure sensor on filter pump modified by adding 1/8 pipe as impedance: not enough, still fluctuation —> to increase the length of the pipe and to change size —> Kacper
  • CSC

Reminder:

    • To check and correct level of oil in bubblers of distribution
    • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
  • GEM
    • Distribution lines of GE1/1: some lines were swapped. Now all ok
    • Distribution lines of GE2/1: not done, to do in the future
    • Helped with the installation of a temporary lauda
  • ID FLUSHING
    • 1 flowmeter must be changed
    • the control is not on WinCC-OA —> to check with Michal for adding software (only if ID flushing is on gas team)
    • Modification of 24 V: because now they are with TOTEM. New power supply for ID flushing (under discussion)
    • To do a meeting to understand what is on our responsibility —> Roberto

 

LHCb #1941

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
    • until today, we are not taking Air, we are at ~ 400ppm —> Patrick to clean in order to have less O2 to check for Air intake —> Patrick/Mara
    • when system is stopped and re-started we take Air: maybe to add CO2 at output bubbler or a volume to avoid to take Air or to check level of bubbler?
      • Roberto suggested to increase the pressure in the chamber
  • RICH2
    • New MFM for the permeate —> Patrick to install on Tuesday
    • To fix leak in the membrane pump: wrong VBO was installed (too small) —> Patrick with TTE
  • SciFi
    • Install racks after Open Days (to finish few things)
    • To finish the system by October

Reminder:

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

 

PIQUET

  • Nothing to report

 

GENERAL

  • ELMB presentation by Marcin and Gregor
    • Number of ELMBs installed ~200, we have 20 spares
    • We don’t have any documentation —> looking for it
    • Standard ELMB are working ok
    • 175 chf/ ELMB
    • Motherboard are still produced
    • To add in the presentation: #of ELMB changed, failures
