- There were several problems in the FDC parts of the gas system. A series of graphs (from Mike) linked above demonstrate some of them. A 1 l/min leak was found due to bad fitting of one of the valves: first graph shows the pressure in the mixing tank (red is FDC) with ~2 l/min filling flow and 0.4l/m FDC usage.

- There were several problems in the FDC parts of the gas system. A series of graphs (from Mike) linked above demonstrate some of them. A 1 l/min leak was found due to bad fitting of one of the valves and later fixed: first graph shows the pressure in the mixing tank (red is FDC) with ~2 l/min filling flow and 0.4l/m FDC usage. To identify the place we were excluding different parts of the system. Once the tank was insulated (flat part in second graph) there was still some pressure drop; it turned out there's a small leak from the relief valve on top of the FDC mixing tank. Same valve is used on the CDC tank but it has not been checked.

- We were having problems with the gas control panel for the FDC: the display would disappear and then it requires turning off/on the power several times to reappear and some of the settings may be wrong. We are also not sure if it is only display problem or also the gas flow is disrupted. Maybe related to that: we need to fill the mixing tank with a flow that is a factor of 2 bigger than what is expected from the FDC usage. We need a spare control panel (Eugene requested a price estimate).

- It turned out the FDC part, including the mixing tank, were flushed over the weekend with 60/40 Ar/CO2 gas mixture, instead of 40/60. On Tuesday/Wednesday the detector was also flushed with the wrong gas mixture and as a result there were HV trips at that time.
