- Checking the LN2 portable (180L) dewars. Note: If snow falls, we must put the LN2 portable dewar inside the NM4 hall near the loading dock because, due to cold, the 22 psi relief valve on the dewar will freeze and keep venting all the time, which will empty the dewar soon. We During beam operations, we cannot put the LN2 portable dewar during beam operations in the NM4 hall.
- Filling the The material (CH2/CD2 & NH3 (10g)) dewar is filled with LN2 in the target preparation/handling area. This activity should be performed weekly. Check with the target expert for the week and arrange the material dewar refill with LN2.
- Checking the ODH sensors reading for the NM4 hall (for cryo platform) and NM4 ground level (for NM3). Please put the reading for four sensors, two for the cryo platform (ODH 1 & ODH 2) and two for NM3 (ODH 1 & ODH 2), in the above spreadsheet.
You can make various viewpoints of the full system strip charts using this page: https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039
The Target TV page 'https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-par-preset/target-tv.php' gives you an overall idea about the full system (but not all the parameters).
...
The nominal values (as of 01/06/2024):
| Parameter | Avg. Value |
|---|---|
| Inlet Pressure | ~ 65 psig |
| Outlet Pressure | ~ 48 psig |
| Inlet Temperature | ~ 79 Fahrenheit |
| Outlet Temperature | ~ 89 Fahrenheit |
IMPORTANT: if you notice there is no LCW flow, then notify the Target Expert IMMEDIATELY, to stop the coldhead compressors and the roots pumps.
Also, if you notice any of the following you will have to coordinate with the Target Expert to perform the later mentioned steps.
* Lower inlet pressure
* Higher inlet temperature
...
On the strip charts,
1) Ensure both Liquefiers are producing LHe. Check the top-right plot in the https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-par-preset/target-tv.php.
2) Ensure the purifier has LN2 level above 75%. Check the top-middle plot in the https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-par-preset/target-tv.php.
If the level is below 75%, then perform a refill using the procedure: docdb 10337
3) Check the difference between the parameters "Outside gHe tank(psig)" and "PT501 (A or B or both)" using https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-all-auto.php
If the difference is above 65 psig, then that indicates that the purifier needs cleaning / regeneration.
Follow Cleaning QT purifier Helium-space (pumping-purging the purifier) procedure with the Target Expert.
4) Ensure the Dewar levels are behaving properly. If you see an unusual behavior like level fluctuations (
