1
Conditioning the new bag DAY 1: 25 Feb 2008
2
Particle number concentration (wcpc 3786) Lights on at 15:58
3
DMPS after one hour of lights on Mass = 11 ugm-3 (density 1), mode about 52 nm
4
Status at the end of day 1 of cleaning After about 2 hours of lights on, 17 ugm-3 of mass (DMPS) were formed in the chamber and particle size mode was about 70 nm. The bag was flushed and post exp procedures were perfumed. The bag was left full of ozone overnight.
5
New bag Cleaning: Day 2 Tuesday 26 Feb 2008 Started at 08:50. Bag had 6500 p/cc. Flushed the bag Started pre-exp procedures
6
Particle number dropped to 40p/cc after the first flush
7
First fill is complete: 17p/cc
8
Completed 3 flush/fill cycles Bag is now in flushed position and being tested for leaks…started test at 09:45 and there was a small increase in number but not close to our previous problem!
9
Ozonolysis increased number dramatically! Lights were turned on at 10:17
10
Mass and number after 50min of lights on 9.8 ugm-3 and 1.2e5 p/cc
11
CPC problem!!
12
16:45 lights off (i.e. cleaned for more than 6 hours) Post-exp procedures started Bag was left full of O3 overnight
13
18:11Post-exp procedure completed. The Ozone box thinks there is 720 ppb of O3 in the bag
14
New Bag Cleaning Day 3: 27 Feb 2008
15
Bag was left full of ozone over night Flushed the bag and started the pre-exp procedures Completed 4 fill/flush cycles Ozone at the beginning is 1.2ppm
16
Lights on at 10:09 Yellow error sign saying CPC is still in warm up mode (flow range and temp errors)
17
Last scan before lights on measured 13 ugm-3!! (note the long DMA scan!!)
18
First scan after lights on measured 77 ugm-3!! (note the long DMA scan!!) DMPS appears to be wet and arcing at high voltages.. The reported mass is wrong
19
DMPS, mass=9.08, 1 hour after lights on, no arcing on this scan
20
11:49
21
End of day 3 Lights were switched off after 5 hours Flushed the bag Performed post-exp procedure Last fill was done manually with O3 pulsing Bag was left with 870 ppb of O3 overnight C:\elena\Tank_Feb_08
22
New Bag Cleaning Day 4: 28 Feb 2008
23
First background Exp Flushed the bag from the overnight o3 fill Pre-exp procedure to cycle fill/flush for 4 times Final fill via humidifier and inject NOx Humidifier is NOT working!! Change of plans Another harsh cleaning day (O3 + lights) 980 ppb O3 according to ozone box
24
Bag is flushed and still: note particle number is slightly increasing (could be mixing or small leak) Most likely it is fresh nucleation! Do it again next time with doors closed
25
Immediate response to ozone
26
Response to lights (on at 10:49)
27
First 10 min after lights on
28
Fab!! It is now down to 2.3 ugm-3 after 1 hour of lights on
29
CPC problem appears to be coming back
