CP4 bake

M&M finished wrapping the entire bake enclosure with Al foil and taping the seams. Bottom air temp has reached a new high of 95C (20C less than top air temp). This morning they swapped CP4's GN2 regen heater with CP3's - if we can resurrect that system we may have a chance to bring the entire enclosure up to uniform temperature. I raised the set point of bake enclosure to 130C (from 115C). 

Turbo pump back end measures 55C with 35C cooling water.

Bottom air temp is now at 103C! However, we still have a significant delta - top temps are at 134C. Hope to test regen heater system today.
