HVAC experiments

Our range was shown to be limited by the HVAC (Link). Since then Bubba and John have reduced air and water flow rates. Today I repeated the experiment to see how well we are doing. It looks like the HVAC is costing us about 3 Mpc now instead of about 5 before. I started some experiments to narrow down the dominant source but the microseism came up so high that I have stopped and will complete them later. Here are the ranges of time in which the HVAC was not in a steady state (the changes were made during science mode).
