sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

["Yip, Kin" <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

Hi,

I've just talked with Ray and Dave.  I think the plan now is

(1) Find the screws and o-rings which should be in a box kept by Frank Toldo ;  Ray has the flange and also  a "stud" which
makes the installation easier.

(2) On the day of installation ( probably the first week of Dec. or so), Ray (who doesn't have the training to use the manlift) will
stand next to the man lift/junction box and talk with the guys on the man lift to install the covers and flanges ?

Kin,

 

Ray will still need someone to drive the manlift, so we may as well have the driver install the plates.

I don’t have anyone available to drive the manlift until after the start of the RHIC run.

Hi Ray,

Or, now, they have they this Fall  Protection Challenge Exam : https://training.bnl.gov/portal/GE-FALLPROTECT-CE
as our training coordinator John Maraviglia told us.   Then, you just need a short practical ...by P. Harrington or J. Adams.  John
said that it may be just 15 minutes for you as they probably know you well :-)

Is this do-able  ??

Ray,

 

Yes, I can have our mechanical tec’s install the doors, it probably won’t be until the December, after the RHIC run starts.

We will contact you for any advise on installing them.

Hi Dave,

 

     My manlift training and fall protection qualification ran out last year.  Perhaps there is someone else that has current qualification that can install those doors?

Regards,

Ray

Roberto/Ray,

 

Due to the short time duration of the access I would prefer we use a man lift to access the valvebox extension.

If you don’t have manlift training one of our techs can drive for you, you will still require fall protection training to wear a harness.

Hi Kin,

 

    We will require scaffolding or some sort of work platform to install the doors as I don’t feel that it is safe using just a step ladder.  This should be in place once the solenoid is parked where it will be stored in 912 until its final move to Phenix.  For maintenance purposes you would want a platform anyway to have ready access to the extension where periodic nitrogen gas purging would likely happen.  

 

Regards,

Ray

Dear Ray,

 

I’m very impressed by your speed action of installing the Extension Struts (support) so quickly.   Thanks a million !!  I just went there to take a look and take

a picture myself.

 

Can you please install the two doors and the flange at the top to the Extension doghouse so that the Cryo group could do the dry nitrogen purging as we discussed
last week ??  You made the flange already and you even made a hole at the top so that the Cryo group can place their fitting/meter to monitor the nitrogen pressure.
I’ve just checked that the two doors are still on the remaining platform (where you used to stand when you work on the dog house).

Dave Phillips and Brian Strekenbach can help if you need help to raise the heavy doors.  ( I also wonder how you installed those two struts this afternoon !? )After all the installation is done, can you please give to Frank Toldo (of PHENIX/sPHENIX in Physics Dept.) the box of all the parts that you’ve collected since
Feb. 1, 2019 when we removed the Valvebox with all the video taking etc. ?   I believe this is the agreement that Frank and you made at that time.  Frank is

our “keeper” for the parts of the Magnet to avoid further loss.   It’s especially important because you told us that you may not be around in late 2021.  Frank
can come to collect from you if you communicate with him.
