Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu
Status Run 83 in progress
Initial He transfer yesterday. Elliott reported slow cooldown curve. MC = 49 K this morning.
10:20 Added exchange gas. Turbo gauge is incorrect. About 1 tubelength of He gas
Temp quickly dipped below 5K. Started turbo pump but there must be some He liquified. Plan to refill Main Bath tomorrow instead of today to get it empty and get a higher temperature on all stages to be sure there is no He gas left
Kept turbo pumping on the IVC. Saw that the MC(Cernox) temperature is increasing over time, currently at 7K. Closed the IVC valve at the top of the fridge. We can open it when we are at 10K or higher.
1330 Refilled cold trap
