Hello Tomáš, Raith Users and RAITH Field Service,

I have flushed out the cooling loop from the NESLAB chiller to the RAITH 
E/O card and turbo pump on the RAITH system.
Water flow is still restricted and only will flow at 0.8 LPM, just at 
small flow but more than a trickle.  I gently reversed flushed and  
forward flushed the lines to remove the debris that had coagulated in 
the lines.  It appears to be an oily substance, presumably white mineral 
oil.  In addition I flushed out the chiller and supply tank with soapy 
water and then again flushed with DI through ten exchanges of clean 
water totaling 5 gallons.  I then refilled the system and flushed out 
the old lines again with clean DI water. Total flush volume was around 
12 gallons. 

I just started up the system -- but am not sure the mechanical pump has 
started properly that backs up the turbo pump.   Current VAC status at 
18:00 hours is the system is 'Waiting Turbo speed".  Hopefully the 
system isolation valve and ion pump will start up normally as expected.  
I will resume in the morning to troubleshoot and bring the FE-Gun back 
up on line if possible.

NO Users access to the system for EBL operations tonight. The FE-GUN is 
still down and vacuum will need time to recover.
The computers are up and running if Users desire to review the new 
version 4 application, check their data, edit patterns, and prepare 
position list in preparation for when the system returns to normal status.

I will update Noon tomorrow PDST.

Thank you for your support!

Good Evening,

James Conway

Do you think there is a chance I can have my Friday early morning session? To complete my experiments (leaving on Thursday, next week) I would still need  4 - 5 hours of EB time.
