Increased NEOVAN head temp and PSTAB instability

Since the last intervention on the main chiller, the temperature of the Neovan head increased again (see fig. 1), probably causing a worsening of the beam shape, and consequently a power loss on the PMC and a bad behavior of the PSTAB loop.

Thus, this morning we stopped the main chiller flow for some seconds (switching off/on the chiller) and it seems that this action was enough to partially free the circuit, as the temperature lowered by almost 1 degree.

Looking at the PMC, the power increased and the PSTAB rms seems to be better (fig. 2 and 3): to be checked once in LN3 again.

We will follow the behavior the next days.

To lower the Neovan head temperature we plugged it on a dedicated circuit and chiller (which is also located in the chiller room, borrowed from W. Chaibi).

The Neovan head is shown in photo 1. We closed the two valves connected to the main chiller (photo 2) and connected the Neovan head to the to yellow and green coming from walid's chiller (photo 3 and 4).

The temperature is now stabilized around 26-27 C : the beam is better matched on the PMC (1,5% increase of transmission from the neovan and 5% more in transmission in the PMC) and the rms of the PSTAB has lowered (plot 5)
