VAC (EX)
nobuhiro.kimura - 4:11 Thursday 10 September 2026 (37477) Print this report
Air injection into EXC started at 10:05 on Sep. 9

[Kimura and Nakagaki]
 We closed the gate valve called GVetmx between X-arm and EXA at 9:30.
 The vacuum pumping by TMP around the EXC was stopped in order to inject air into the EXC.
The pressure in the EXC at the time of the shutdown was ~10^-5 Pa.
 At 10:05, we started air injection to EYC up to atmospheric pressure.
Pressurization continued until about 16:00. The inner presusure of EXC was 2.8 x 10^4 Pa, when pressurization was stopeed.
To reach this pressure, we used three high-pressure gas cylinders filled with 7 m³ of air.
 The air injection operation is scheduled to resume on the morning of Sep. 11.
This may cause the temperature in the X-end chamber to change.
The injected air was G-2 grade pressurized air (klog25912) with a dew point of -80°C.

  At 9:43, we re-started air injection to EXC up to atmospheric pressure.
Pressurization continued until about 15:15. The inner presusure of EXC was 6.9 x 10^4 Pa, when pressurization was stopeed.
To reach this pressure, we used four high-pressure gas cylinders filled with 7 m³ of air.

Air Injection into EXC: Day 3

Air injection is ongoing.
Today, we introduced two air gas cylinders, and the current EXC pressure is 8.7× 10⁴ Pa.
We will continue on Monday (the 14th).

Cylinder 8:  9:39 – 10:55; pressure after injection: 7.7 × 10⁴ Pa
Cylinder 9: 10:58 – 12:13; pressure after injection: 8.7 × 10⁴ Pa
