Evacuate 1K Pot
Now you are going to pump on the 1 K pot, as you did before the LN2 transfer.
- Make sure the Speedivalve connected to the He recovery line and the 1 K pot needle valve are closed (should have already been closed from previous steps, but a check nonetheless).
- Make sure He gas supply is off.
- Turn on He4 pump.
- Open V5A, V2A, V4A (this pumps out leftover He gas in tubings before we pump out 1K pot line). Wait for P2 to below 0.1 mbar.
- Fully open 1 K pot Speedivalve and then close it. If you watch P2, the pressure should rise a bit and then lower. You've evacuated the 1 K pot now. .
- Close V5A, V2A, V4A.
