Warm tower (takes about 1 hour 45 minutes)
- Close V6 to stop circulation. Tower temperature will rise, G1/G2 pressures will fall, Still pressure will rise.
- Close V13A or V13B and turn off 3He circulation pump.
- Set MC heater to 1 mW.
- When Still pressure (P1) rises above 100 mbar, open V3 to equalize pressure between Still and Condenser.
- At any point before beginning cooling again, move mu-metal shield to desired position
- When Tower temperature ≥ 1.7 K you can begin to cool to base again
Cool to base again (takes about 2 hours 20 minutes)
- Turn off MC heater. Turn on 3He pump. Open V13A or V13B. Close V3.
- Begin circulation in standard way by opening V6 to > 12.5% in steps, allowing G1/G2 to settle between steps.
- Continue cooling to base.
- After tower is cold (<0.2 K) raise mu-metal shield back to standard height before taking measurements.
