TCS Chiller Water Level Top-Off - FAMIS 21117 - Bi-weekly
Closes FAMIS 21117. Last done in alog 67829 where Austin had to adjust the TCSX flow straighter and sock and add 850mL.
| TCS X | TCS Y | |
|---|---|---|
| Previous Level | 20.8 | 9.8 |
| New Level | 30.0 | 10.0 |
| Water added | 2500 mL (!!!) | 50 mL |
The Dixie cup had no signs of water in it.
CO2X chiller reservoir was nearly down to it's minium level!! I walked the chiller lines in the mechanical room and LVEA and saw no signs of a leak.
We'll check this chiller again this week and early next week. Could this be related to the power jump in CO2X from 35 to 49W (alog67787)?
Added another 550mL to get our level gauge from 28.5 to 30.0.
This seems like we are having to add too much water for what I'd expect after a chiller swap. It'd be worth opening the table and the chiller to look for leaks there.
On Monday TJ added 500ml and today I added 800ml. I opened the side of the CO2X chiller and couldn't see any sign of a new water leak. We'll plan to check the TCSX table for leaks on Tuesday.
Last week I checked on table (68356) and Ryan S walked the lines again, no sign of water. Corey added 700ml last Tuesday (68435) and today the level had not changed since. The issue seems to have resolved itself, maybe there was just a large bubble in the line...
