Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt
Status Run 74 finished. Warming up.
All mixture is in dump. Fridge isolated. 1K Pot isolated. LN2 Trap 2 still has contaminants in it. Some He in IVC and in cryostat vacuum jacket (CVJ)
0630 Sorb = 250 K (max)
1345 MC(Cernox) = 166 K, rising 3.9 K/hr. Implies tau_warming = 33.3 hours. Predicted to reach dew point 7 C in 70.5 hours = Friday at 12:20 pm
1405 IVC = 25 mbar on Pfeiffer gauge.
1415 Let about 0.53 bar (on Swagelock gauge) N2 gas into IVC.
Isolate IVC and move gas manifold hose over to CVJ port
1420 CVJ = 0.10 mbar
1425 Let 14 mbar N2 gas into vacuum manifold. Then open cryostat vacuum jacket valve to let this into the vacuum jacket. Vacuum Jacket → 0.74 mbar.
1605 Recovery = 2.9 cuft/day. MB = 0.0 PSI = 111 mbar+1atm (on G3 - opened V1a to monitor.)
1620 Close He recovery valve from MB exhaust
