GAS M&O meeting 14 October 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/855148/

 

ALICE #2001

  • MTR

Reminder:

  • mixer pressure regulation does not work: Zimmerli not installed
  • exhaust pressure regulation does not work
  • Dummy chamber: Arturo said he has no manpower to install the pipes. Beatrice said that we (gas team) will not pull the pipes
  • TPC
    • Rack pump re-building done: leak test on-going
    • Final connection for TPC for the gas system
    • Modification to add the filter in the distribution pipe

Reminder:

  • LPh to prepare a summary on how the system is now —> in 2 weeks
  • TRD
    • elog 862 piquet:
      • LPh found a leak in the exhaust of the analysis module (in the VBO)
      • Second leak: LPh left open a manual valve din the calibration line

Reminder

  • Purifier: safety valve at the input where we have Ar or Ar/H2 at high pressure —> LPh to check with safety
  • Purifier: to review if keep the safety valve or the rupture disk

 

ATLAS #2002

  • CSC

Reminder:

  • After the power-cut there was not communication with PLC: damage of differential circuit breaker —> to repair
  • RPC
    • Pump 3 maintenance
    • Purifier filters modification started
  • MDT

Reminder:

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

 

CMS #1993

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Dummy chamber prepared with leak test
    • RB0,-1 and -2 distribution rack prepared for dummy chamber
    • Safety valves dismounted for calibration
    • To finish the commissioning and testing of all pneumatic lines
    • Geraldine and Marc working on the software
    • Electrical work: elog 2000
    • Purifier 3: new chassis ready. Mechanics work to do

Reminder:

  • Rack 85: problem of pressure sensors in error —> Michal/Patrick to check
  • DT
    • Test for power cut for the exhaust line —> to do another test this week
  • CSC
    • Moving to Arcal10 for CSC for welding in SGX5
    • Elog 1996: regulation valve of distribution rack 66

Reminder:

  • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
  • To check and correct level of oil in bubblers of distribution
  • Problem on distribution: strange peaks in the regulation valve and some alarms due to low pressure in the rack —> to investigate
  • GEM
    • Channel 29: six chambers connected
    • Channel 28: six more chambers to connect
    • Reminder
    • To modify the réseaux socket for the GEMPLC (now it is with TOTEM) —> Patrick/Michal
    • Control rack: to modify power supply and electrical cable (still with TOTEM) —> Patrick/Michal
    • 1 chamber in purge in CO2
  • 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 #1999

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
  • RICH2
    • New pieces for high pressure for the recuperation of CF4 —> to check for high pressure
  • 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

  • elog 866
    • HH alarm of TPC distribution due to leak test on-going by Chilo

 

GENERAL

  • Presentation of Federico for the surface treatment
    • Very important to put the right title in the job
