April 27, 2009Commissioning Needs-Soler2 Commissioning Needs After successful powering up of decay solenoid on 24/04/09, we had a set-back: —Decay solenoid chiller fan burnt out morning 28/04/09 —Burning smell detected —Linde fridge now turned off —Mike Courthold contacted Linde: fan sent by Linde (expected in UK on 5/05/09 but will arrive RAL later this week) —Local team to install fan once it arrives this week. —Solenoid has been warming up all week Plans are being put together to fit a header tank for the demineralised water for the Linde DS chiller Upstream Decay Solenoid shielding reinstated. Decay Solenoid Area is off-limits until new radiation survey carried out during beam (scheduled for today 11am?) – no beam at moment, probably this Friday
