keyword=cryotarget is using 4K coolant, information for target operator
The cryotarget is currently being cooled down with 4 K coolant from CHL
to ESR into the target. The target temperature is about 24-25K and in a
few hours it should reach 19K, the operation temperature.
With the 4K coolant, there is a potential danger of H2 gets frozen. So
Target Operator should pay attention to make sure H2 target temperature
will not drop too low (freezing point is slightly below 14K). In normal
condition high power heater is set in PID to keep the loop temperature at
19 K. In the event of the High power heater fails, Target Operator should
slowly reduce the coolant (by closing J-T valve) to prevent the H2 target
from freezing.
