Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu
1451 Tower Installation Complete. Closed off IVC.
1452 Pump out IVC with scroll pump
1546 It took about 50 minutes to reach 1E-1 mbar and then we switch over to the turbo pump
1553 Turbo was not able to hold the pressure and it was increasing slowly, so I switched over to the scroll pump and switched off the turbo for a minute and restarted it. Waiting for the scroll to pump it back down below 1E-1 before we open the turbo valve again
1623 After multiple cycles of switching between scroll and turbo, the turbo doesnot seems to be holding the pressure. there might be a leak in the IVC indiumk seal. Will look into this tomorrow
