In this mode, the fridge level is should be maintained above the 'Heat Exchanger Bottom' (see the Purple curve on the top-left graph of the screenshot below), and the separator is kept at cold with 20slm return flow. IMPORTANT: If you see the Heat-Ex Top resistance (purple curve) starts increasing, then reduce the number of turns on the fridge run-valve using the "Fridge Valve Panel" VI on the CCP


If the system is currently on Hold Mode, then you can follow the steps for Transitioning from the Hold mode to the Production Mode


Configuration / Things to maintain

MicrowavesON (see Microwave Operation page for instructions how to maintain the polarization)
NMRIt should be on "Take Data" (check with the Target Expert on Shift if there are issues)
Fridge
MagnetEnsure the magnet has enough LHe.
Ensure Magnet LN2 level is above 50%, if not refill it.
QT System
  • Ensure the purifier LN2 level and the magnet shield LN2 levels are above 50%, if not refill it.
    See Helium Liquefier (QT) System Summary page to identify where to look at for those LN2 levels.
  • Ensure both liquefiers produce LHe with the rate of ~ 4 L/ hr (with an uncertainty +/- 0.3). If not, then contact the Target Expert on shift. You can use https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-par-preset/target-LHe-prod-rate.php
  • Check LCW outlet Temperatures from the cold-head compressors and ensure all those temperatures are below  95 F. If any of those are. > 100 F then, report to the Target Expert immediately and follow Target Expert's instructions.
