GAS M&O meeting 30 September 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/851652/

 

ALICE #1974

  • MTR
    • exhaust pressure regulation does not work
    • mixer pressure regulation does not work: Zimmerli not installed

Reminder:

    • Dummy chamber: Arturo said he has no manpower to install the pipes
  • TPC
    • Rack pump re-building done: to do leak test
    • 7th —> 14th 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: found dust of copper from the cartridge material (elog 1980)
    • Pump: found particles in the pump module

Reminder

    • 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 #1973

  • TFC
    • Temperature pump: ~170 C but it is “normal” with the new pump
    • Roberto explained the new configuration to run the TFC system (elog 1970)
      • Distribution rack 4: settings have been changed
  • RPC
    • MFC of R134a repaired last week —> to re-install this week
    • Mixer flow not stable since a while (elog 1967)
    • Discussion on the pressure regulation of the second line of the mixer: the pressure has to be at least 150 mbar lower than the one of the system
  • MDT

Reminder:

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

 

CMS #1966

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Modification of purifier filters on-going —> last week and this week
      • with T valves, we have only 5. we put a cap for the sixth one

Reminder:

    • Rack 85: problem of pressure sensors in error —> Michal/Patrick to check
  • CSC
    • Stop analysis rack of CSC to check if the spikes of regulation valves are coming from the this —> Andrea

Reminder:

    • Problem on distribution: strange peaks in the regulation valve and some alarms due to low pressure in the rack —> to investigate
    • To check and correct level of oil in bubblers of distribution
    • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
  • GEM
    • 1 chamber in purge in CO2
    • Try to run the system but system was not stable: pump in negative pressure
  • R134a recuperation
    • Add line of Air for the R134a recuperation
  • General
    • Open/close plugs during open days and last Monday: 2 mbar more in the cavern caused a stop of CSC distribution racks

 

LHCb #1971

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
  • RICH2
    • Regeneration of purifier done last week
    • Membrane 2 is still old one and it is not efficient —> we will not use
    • Then we will need to move to Air: waiting for the compressor. But then it will be the detector people to put Air inside
  • SciFi
    • To connect pipes for the racks of distribution and mixer
    • Chassis: still 2 weeks of work
    • To finish the system by October
  • GC
    • PC is working but not the GC —> Mara to contact the company

Reminder:

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

 

PIQUET

  • TFC temperature pump: ~170 C but it is “normal” with the new pump
  • CLOUD
    • Discussion on the trace gas MFC and valves
