Since the recent increase in the INJ-HVAC flow rate (from 30 May to 4 June 2025), a new noise feature has become visible on the microphones and accelerometers located on the Laser Bench and the External Injection Bench inside the Laser Lab.
The noise manifests as a characteristic doublet "bump", recurring approximately every 6 minutes. This suggests a mechanical or fluid-dynamic origin, potentially linked to the altered HVAC regime.
Before the intervention, the air flux was stable at 10 m³/h. After the change, it now oscillates between 20 and 60 m³/h. This fluctuation appears correlated with the observed noise.

Has this change been requested by someone?

Would it be possible (and advisable) to revert to the previous setting to mitigate the noise?
