CO2Y chiller flow rate dips

I logged in to run some CO2 pico test, and noticed the verbal alarms were complaining the CO2 Y chiller flow is low.

I checked and the flow rate is around 1.9Gpm at the moment; the laser hasn't tripped off though.

Looking at the trend in the CO2 chiller flow rates CO2 is noisier, with dips below the nominal 3Gpm that last for on the order of an hour (see first attachment). CO2Y has also been trending down over the last few days, but maybe that's normal given the new flow meter which was installed on Tuesday?

Well done for spotting this Georgia! Looks like the flow rate since yesterday is reporting even worse (attached image).

Not expected or normal after the swap. The CO2Y lasers is still ON this morning so will check what the hard coded tripping values are and we may need to do another swap tomorrow!
