Access code:
  • Lab Update - Run 82 preparation
    • Fridge Status : Fridge is warming up.
    • Base temperature unstable issue: After initial LHe transfer, The base temperature keep going down, hit 7.5 mK and then bouched back to 1.3K. This might indicate a mixture ratio tuning.
    • Prof. Paul said if the transition is not within MC , we wont see anything lower than 20 mK.
    • I tried lowering the circulation rate by closing the VT valve, it seem to be coming back to 7 mK range. Stability still needs to be checked.
    • Transfer stick O-ring issue: After 2nd transfer, tranfer stick was leaking badly at the joint and transfer wont start.
    • Replacing o-ring seem to be helping.
    • No LHe transferring issue: Cant start a LHe transfer now. Either there is lot of frost build up inside Main Bath or other issue.
    • Initially suspected LHe level meter is faulty. Didn't find any broken wires on the slot and it doesnt change values when I jiggle the cord at the joints.
    • After letting a transfer go for an hour, tried to start 1K pot, no pressure. Added exchange gas to IVC, no exhaust buildup, which indicates no LHe inside Main Bath.
