5. Bringing the Dewar Pressure down in Liquefy/Idle mode

Useful information

1. The volume of an outside gHe tank: 1600 cubic feet (V = 45306.95 L)
2.  The pressure increase in the gHe tank per tube (in the tube trailer) is 10psi (i.e. 10 psi difference per tube)
3. 100 slm rate on Magnet FC is equivalent to ~ 192 LHe liters per day (i.e. assuming both LQ A and B are running)
4. QT recommendation to keep system minimally pressurized: ~20 psi
5. Running from 40 psi down to 20 psi would produce about 80 liquid litters and we should be able to do that in about 10 hours (assuming both LQ A and B are running).
6. Putting a 2200 psi gas bottle into the system will produce 8 liquid liters per bottle.

(click on NM4LCW or select F:NM4LCWFLOW F:NM4LCWP1 F:NM4LCWP2 F:NM4LCWP3 F:NM4LCWT1 F:NM4LCWT2 )

QT LCW requires are 7.8kW of cooling per coldhead compressor, will less than 77F on water inlet and at least 6L/min of flow.

   a) Change the operation to "Manual" + "Run" mode, and close the SV01 and SV03 valves: also close the BV02 hand valve and REGX regulator on the liquefier manifold
       Image Removed
   b) Make sure to boil off and vent all the LN2 before the pumping-purging procedure. Use the heater if necessary (tap on the small bar located bottom of the purifier sign: orange color indicates that heater is ON).

   c) Connect the pump to the outlet from V10a (currently we use the Edwards pump which is connected to the Helium recovery manifold pipe) with a pressure gauge, hand valve, and a Helium gas bottle (to backfill).
        Keep the V9a closed during pumping and purging.

     Cleaning QT purifier Helium-space including the HR3 compressor lines up to the manifold
   

   1) Open V9a and V21a from PLC
       Image Removed

   2) keep V30 hand valve closed
       Image Removed

   3) Keep BV02 & RegX hand valves (going to/from liq A, B) closed
        Image Removed

   4) Open SV01 and SV03 (Note: if the valves are not opening via PLC, then check whether the system is in Manual + Run mode, if not select that mode to open SV01 and SV03)
        Image Removed
       

   5) Pump down using the setup that we just installed on the Vent.
        Image Removed

   6) Opening hand valve V30 slowly increases the pump sound (takes a couple of seconds to respond due to the long path to reach the pump)
