    keyword=Total heat l oad in Loop 2 increasing w/o operator input

    The total heat load in loop 2 (LH2) has increased 15-20 Watts over the last 20 minutes or so with no operator inputs. This increase appears to be independent of the usual short-term fluctuations.

    Loop 3 total heat load has also increased, but only by about 5 watts.

    The only speculation I can offer is that the ESR input temperature was observed to go down approximately 0.1K around the same time. This would offer more cooling to the loop, which would respond with a higher heat output to compensate...but this is only speculation...
