TCS Chiller Water Level Top-Off
Closes FAMIS 21116
| TCS X | TCS Y | |
|---|---|---|
| Previous Level | 27.3 | 9.6 |
| New Level | 30.0 | 10.0 |
| Water added | 850 mL | 150 mL |
The Dixie cup had no signs of water in it.
Note:
For TCSX, I had to adjust the metal flow straightener as it was tilted to the side, causing the water flow to be blocked slightly. The sock was also clamped into its housing, so I adjsted it to be slightly tilted to prevent air bubbles. I did have to add ~ 850 mL of water into the resevoir in order for the level to reach its nominal state. I checked the rubber stopper and it appears to have been dry, indicating that there was no excess water flow into it. I also checked the lines for signs of any leaks, but all seemed ok. Hopefully this was a one off thing, noting it here in case of future problems.
