GAS M&O meeting 21 October 2019

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

Indico: https://indico.cern.ch/event/857532/

 

ALICE #

  • 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
    • Probably a leak to find (see piquet elog 878)
    • Big pump arrived at P2

Reminder:

  • LPh to prepare a summary on how the system is now —> this week
  • TRD

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 #2024

  • CSC

Reminder:

  • After the power-cut there was not communication with PLC: damage of differential circuit breaker —> to repair
  • MDT
    • Working on rack 64 and 68 for ELMB cards

Reminder:

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

 

CMS #2004

  • RPC
    • OFF
    • Rack 85: problem of pressure sensors in error: problem in the cable (UX-US)
    • All pneumatic lines tested
    • Feedback valve in exhaust to check —> Patrick
    • Safety valves dismounted for calibration and re-installed
    • Commissioning of the software on-going
  • DT
    • Test for power cut for the exhaust line —> to do another test next week
  • CSC
    • Moving to Arcal10 for CSC for welding in SGX5

Reminder:

  • Warning to set-up —> Beatrice/Michal/Roberto
  • GEM
    • Commissioning started: elog 2017

Reminder:

  • 1 chamber in purge in CO2
  • Control rack: to modify power supply and electrical cable (still with TOTEM) —> Patrick/Michal
  • To modify the réseaux socket for the GEMPLC (now it is with TOTEM) —> Andrea
  • R134a recuperation
    • Add line of Air for the R134a recuperation
    • Add line for iC4H10 exhaust this week

 

LHCb #2026

  • RICH1
    • in Run with CO2
  • RICH2
    • New pieces for high pressure for the recuperation of CF4 —> to install this week
  • GC
    • PC is working but not the GC —> Mara to contact the company 
  • MWP
    • Change motherboard in rack 66: now it is working fine. Still difference between the racks —> to change also the others?

 

PIQUET

  • elog  879
    • LHCb RICH2 stop —> to modify PID that are not able to follow for the regulation valve
  • elog 878
    • ALICE TPC stop —> too low pressure at the input of the pump —> potential leak? —> to investigate
  • elog 876
    • CLOUD: problem with Naphtalene: not possible to control the MFC —> LPh to check
    • Exhaust temperature TE7906 does not correspond to the one you see in place and in WinCC-OA it is in the wrong place

 

GENERAL

  • Presentation of Mara about the LHCb RICH 2 recuperation
