Yeah, I think it's a pressure differential issue. It looks like the pressure differential between the CO2 tank and the mix 2 buffer tank isn't enough. For some reason the CO2 tank isn't building pressure as it should.

If I had to guess there was probably an issue with the zeroing. Best is if you can valve off both up and downstream of the MFC prior to zeroing, but at a minimum one of the sides needs to be valved off. Since I don't have the PI&D in front of me I don't know

When y'all get a minute, can you take a look at the DC mix 2 system? There is some new, strange behavior with the Mix 2 CO2 flow. It seems that when both Mix 1 and Mix 2 are calling for full flow, i.e filling the buffer tanks, there doesn't seem to be enough
flow through the Mix 2 CO2 mfc.<br>

This morning when I came in, the Mix 2 CO2 mfc was at 100% open with a zero/negative flow. They only way I got Mix2 CO2 to flow was to turn off Mix 1 completely, then Mix 2 seemed to work correctly. Reducing both the Mix 1 set pt and HTCC rotameter seemed to
allow some CO2 to flow through Mix 2, but even then, then mfc creeps open to 100% to try and maintain the required flow.
