Yes, math is fun, but the devil is in the details. <br>
<br>
More questions;<br>
What size is the N2 outlet on the RICH? Will this limit the flow
rate of the purge?<br>
What will the pressure be in the N2 distribution manifold during
this test? Will the pressure be > 15 psi? (Sound Familiar?)<br>
What differential pressure will result inside the detector volume at
40 slm flow rate?<br>
Can a single N2 dewar supply gas at 40 slm for extended period of
time? The answer is no on this one.<br>
<br>
Good place to start,<br>

<div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__">Hi George,<br>
<br>
Tyler, Pablo, and I were looking at the calculation of
humidity decrease and found that if the total exchange rate
for both RICH channels is 40 slm and the volume of the RICH is
5000 L then, using the exponential decay calculation, the time
to go from 50% humidity to 1% humidity is about 8 hours.<br>

I have some questions and comments concerning how fast you
want to "fill" the RICH, <br>
<br>
Questions first; <br>
<br>
#1 What is the time frame you require for purging the RICH
volume from initial condition of clean room air, ~ 50%
humidity, to your final desired number? <br>
<br>
#2 What is the maximum final H2O concentration for storage and
operation? <br>
<br>
#3 What is the N2 volume of the detector? <br>
<br>
Comments; <br>
<br>
N2 gas purge supply details; <br>
- The N2 purge supply flow is controlled by a mechanical valve
rotometer, 0-20 slm <br>
- Purge flow is monitored by a mass flow transducer, 0-20 slm
<br>
- The N2 purge supply valve panel is a pressure system <br>
<br>
N2 purge supply flow specifications <br>
Channel 1 maximum flow - 20 slm (1200 liters per hour/28,800
liters per day) <br>
Channel 2 maximum flow - 20 slm (1200 liters per hour/28,800
liters per day) <br>
<br>
The above maximum flow specifications remain constant with
regard to the type or source of the N2 supply. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
George <br>

- Nitrogen <br>
1) Setup the N2 distribution lines inside the RICH. <br>
2) The dewar is not suitable to fill the RICH quickly (i.e. in
few hours). A new system must be used, for example bottles.
This should be discussed timely with the DSG. There is the
plan to test the N2 system in the RICH for the week of October
16. This test will include installation of the exit panel,
rotation of the RICH in vertical position, installation of the
frontal panels (possibly using the assembly frame), sealing of
the electronic panel region with plastic. It makes sense to do
all this assembly work only if we have (or we may have) a way
to fill the RICH with N2 in a reasonable time. <br>
