LN2 blowout reveal 10e-3 mbar L/s in the IVC bottom seal, very close to end of blowout.
Warmed up the fridge with N2, currently at 285K
Electrical checks did have a few shorts that went away after LN2 transfer, but two remained
Both Side1 channels (A and F)
Will try to fix the short as we open IVC today.
The pump station can read below 10 mTorr and adding exchange gas was an issue. We fixed it using this gauge from MXP lab. It gives reliable reading above 20-30 mTorr and there is a small window left, but it is fine for now.
