Fri CP1 Fill, took two tries

First run at 10:00 did not complete, its thermocouples reached the trip temp of -130C before we got a flow of LN2.

Fri Jul 05 10:17:33 2024 INFO: Fill completed in 17min 29secs

We re-ran the fill at 12:00 with a lowered trip temp of -140C, this run was successful

Fri Jul 05 12:04:36 2024 INFO: Fill completed in 4min 33secs

Trending the trip temps since this system was installed two years ago, we have never had to run with trip temps as low as -140C (summer settings have been -130C).

Tomorrow we will run the fill at the earlier time of 08:00 in case outside temps were a factor in today's issue. I have set the trip temp back to -130C.
