ML reports that baking of the upstream section (gas jet interaction chamber plus e-target) has commenced - initially to 50 deg C to check thermocouples. If OK baking
temperature will be ramped slowly (which I think means c. 10 deg C per h) to limits established for specific components by the e-target.
Ragan and Oemer are currently threading a 10m heating tape helically around the CARME chamber.
16.20 ML reports baking of upstream section is proceeding OK - currently ramping to 100 deg C at 10 deg C / h.
16.25 RSS reports that he completed the install of the thermocouples this morning and will update the Elog with specific locations of each thermocuple and TC08 channel
later today.
16:30 All CARME thermocouples <20 C. No temperature changes. Monitor.x left under screen. Please summon with screen -x and dismiss with CTRL+a d
17:40 One CARME thermocouple at 40C (CARME front) |
