GAS M&O meeting 16 September 2019

Present: Beatrice, Roberto, Michal, Andrea, Fred, LPh, Sabino, Fabio, Federico, Luca, Gianluca

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/848559/

 

ALICE #no elog

  • MTR
    • Test of PLC (on/off) to reproduce the crash done: nothing happened

Reminder:

    • Dummy chamber: to ask to Arturo for manpower to install the pipes. Arturo said beginning of September
  • TPC
    • Rack pump re-building on going
    • 7th October: final connection for TPC for the gas system

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
    • Purifier: changing material this week

 

ATLAS #1956

  • TFC
    • CO2 cooling failure of TRT which stop TFC
  • MDT

Reminder:

    • Rack 68 (ch 17): one channel is keeping going to zero —> try to change the ELMB

 

CMS #1950

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Installed one set-up for the regulation valve: to meet this week in CMS to check for space
    • Ready to start for the modification of purifier —> this and next week
      • 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 finished
  • DT
    • Filter pump: Kacper added 1/16 of capillary for the pressure sensor —> now pressure value is stable —> to implement on other pump modules
  • CSC
    • Problem on distribution: strange peaks in the regulation valve and some alarms due to low pressure in the rack —> to investigate
    • Fond a N2 leak in valve YY6671: repaired

Reminder:

    • To check and correct level of oil in bubblers of distribution
    • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
  • GEM
    • Try to run the system but system was not stable: pump in negative pressure

 

LHCb #no elog

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
  • RICH2
    • New MFM for the permeate
    • To understand how to proceed with two membranes
  • 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

  • TFC stop during week-end

 

GENERAL

  • Update from Sabino on the ex-OT Gas System
    • Several problems in the gas system material: rotameter full of liquid, manometer not working correctly
    • Start to prepare a maintenance procedure for the mixer
  • Update from Fabio about CF4 recuperated
  • Update from Federico about LHCb CF4 membrane
    • Try to work with second membrane
