26: CONDSAMP , Site none, Sat 06-Jun-1992 02:28:19 GMT, Conditional Sampler installed on 250m f
Conditional Sampler installed on 250m flux tower 
 
All cabling and tubing attached and equipment installed this  
afternoon between 15:00 and 19:30. 
Power not yet applied to 12vdc plug, ? power on serial cable? 
 Tomorrow will do time delay testing using Brians fast SF6 
 Steve O says in SJVAQS used  threshhold = 15 cm s-1 in daytime 
                                            5 cm s-1 at nighttime. 
  Tom's dictum threshhold = 0.6 sigma w  
  Maybe 0.5 (sqrt ww) = 0.5 (sqrt sigma w) 
 
36: CONDSAMP , Site none, Sat 06-Jun-1992 23:43:29 GMT, TIME DELAY FOR CONDITIONAL SAMPLER
Flow time delay testing for conditional sampler. 
Saturday morning the conditional sampler was powered up and  
"rserial" adressed vi the Toshiba as cosmos 201. 
The system checked out and was tested for time delay 
using the fast SF6 sensor. 
 
The 1/8 inch swage was disconnected from the bulkhead on 
the inside of the case for the A or down or v3. 
The 1/8 inch line could be T'ed into the inlet of the analyser. 
The SF6 fast calibration solenoid could be T'ed into the intake. 
The SF6  mode indicator was modified to be a fast channel 
 
Five runs were made with the SF6 directly into the analyser 
and five runs with the SF6 flowing first through the 
conditional sampler. 
The difference between the time delays was derived  to give 
the conditional sampler delay.

The 1/4 inch teflon lines labels were checked by disconnecting 
from the CSBox blowing into them and emersion of the other ends 
in a water glass.

Conditional samples settings. 
 
According ti Steve O: 
 
The "sample" for delay corresponds to 0.1 seconds. Hence 
y1 generates a delay time of 0.1 seconds. As we determined 
that the appropriate flow delay was 0.26 seconds we should 
use a value of y3 = 0.3 seconds. 
 
The "sample" for valve cycling time is different. It corresponds 
to 0.001 seconds. Hence c1000 will activate each valve 
for 1 second and the entire sequence of the three valve sampling 
sequentially will take three seconds. 
 
Although in FOOTPRINT92 often  ww = 0.6(m.s-1)^2 
                               sigmaw = .77m.s-1 
			       1/2 sigma w = 0.38m.s-1 = 38cm.s-1 
 
Steve believes we should be more conservative and use t20 = 20 cm.s-1 
						   or t30 = 30cm.s-1 
 
67: CONDSAMP , Site none, Tue 09-Jun-1992 01:39:07 GMT, Conditional sampler tests
Conditional sampler tests 
  
 The difficulty with the conditional sampling of 
 sunday evening was that there was a very low flow. 
 This indicated that possibly the cs was not functioning properly. 
 Nevertheless the syringes were all analysed (consam 1 through consam15) 
 The results are entered in the previous note. 
 
With the cs up on the tower and the 1/8 inlet no flow 
The cs was lowered and the flow checked. 
Connectors rechecked 
 With  a 1 sec cycle and the 1/8 tubing inlet 0.7 lpm  through a single tube. 
 With  a 1 sec cycle and the 1/4 tubing inlet 1.7 lpm through a single tube. 
 With  a 1 sec cycle and the inlet inadvertantly removed 
    		                       	0.13 lpm through a single tube. 
 
The cs was taken into the workshop and the pump inlet reinstalled 
 
The cs was run from 14:50 to 15:20 = 1.5 hrs and the air then pumped out 
through the gas meter 
      I   11.5 liters 
      II   7.5? liters 
      III 10.5 liters 
 
The cs was then set going on the chem shelter. 
 shows t15 = threshold = 15 cm s-1, y3 =  delay = 0.3 secs 
 then g, then p = pump on. 
Bubble testing showed the cs to be operating well.

Conditional sampler ran overnight 
 
On Tuesday afternoon the CS indicated that valve B was stuck open. 
The CS was taken down and into the chem trailer. 
           Valve B was replaced with the spare. 
	   The valves were all exercised, 12 vdc levels checked. 
	   The ss relays were all exercised with 5vdc 
It was decided to provide separate 12 vdc from the serial 
cable for the board and leave the valves and pump on the separate 
12 vdc supply. 
 
The CS was reconnected and hoiste to the 5m level. It was initiated 
checked and left running . It ran overnight and at 08:00 was bubble checked. 
 
Later in the morning flow was measured throuh the lines. 
    Line A: 
      18 min = 2.4 l, 0.14 lpm, 
      42 min = 5.4 l, 0.13 lpm,  equivalent to 7.8 l per hour. 
    Line C: 
      48 min = 5.4 l, 0.11 lpm,  equivalent to 6.6 l per hour. 
    Line B: 
     112 min = 9.0 l, 0.08  lpm,  equivalent to 4.8 l per hour 
 
NB the low threshold should ensure A and C > B 
Also A and C were measured at different times.

Flow tests of Cnditional Sampler 
 
The CS is fully operational and it has been decided to 
let it run continuously. 
The line ends with bayonet fittings are normally kept 
in a loosely fastened plastic bag to allow venting. 
 
A test of the flow: 
  At 14:25 start 
		 A -> I 
		 B -> II 
		 C -> III    allin box D 
  At 16:25 stop and pump out each bag through the pump and the meter. 
		 I   contained 16.9 l 
		 II  contained 10.5 l 
		 III contained 12.5 l 
 
I am not sure why A and C were different.

Conditional sampler after the rain 
 
On Friday during the rain a check of the CS indicated that in the run mode  
only line C was delivering sample. 
The system was restarted and a flow check indicated that B and C 
were delivering sample air. 
C gave 17.5l, B gave 3.5l and A gave 0.25l. 
The situation persisted overnight. 
This morning at 08:00 the flow was checked and the power was recycled both 
to the board (unplug/replug the serial cable) and 
the pump and valves (unplug/replug the dc cable). 
The flow was then checked by connection into the bags. 
C gave 8l, B gave 3.5l and A gave 0.15l. 
 
The CS was brought down the tower and into the trailer. 
Although the box was shut tight there was water inside. 
The water was dried and the box sat atop the dirt oven for several hours. 
 
The dried out CS was recabled at the bottom of the tower and a bag test run 
16:30 -> 16:35 
A gave 0.2l, B gave 4.1l, and C gave 6.1l.

Conditional Sampler delay time 
 
On Thursday delay tests were run for the SF6 analysers with their 
intake lines. As part of this proceedure the Conditonal Sampler 
delay was redetermined. This was necessary because the cs 1/8 
intake has been replaced with a 1/4 teflon tube. 
 
Five tests were run for the analyser alone and five tests were run 
with the outlet of valve 3 feeding into a T at the analyser intlet. 
The SF6 cal solenoid was held at the CS intake. 
 
	  Analyser + conditional sampler delay        =   9.062 +_ 0.044s

Pumped down bags in conditional sampler box 
B around 18:30 today and got ~ 0.3, 1.55, 0.45 
liters from bags I to III.  Since Gordon had 
pumped these down about 24 hours ago, it appears 
that they are leaking. 
 
I took box A out to the 250m tower and its bags 
had very little volume.  Attached box A to the 
conditional sampler and Gordon began a cylic 
test at 11:49 am PDT. 
 
 
138: CONDSAMP , Site none, Tue 23-Jun-1992 20:28:46 GMT, Cyclic test restarted
Cyclic test restarted 
 
Previous cyclic test of conditional sampler failed, because 
the pump was not on while the valves cycled.  The correct 
sequence of commands is:  "p" (turn pump on) and then "cN", and 
not "cN" then "p", since the "p" disables the valve cycling. 
 
Started a cyclic test at 13:14 PDT, with a 100ms cycle period 
(command "c10") to bags in box A. 
 
Results: 
  Bag A:  6.4 l 
  Bag B:  6.5 l 
  Bag C:  6.0 l 
 
These look good, so we'll use box A.

Conditional sampler test 
 
  Ran test of conditional sampler with threshold set to 0.  Expect 
equal volumes of air in the up bag (A) and the down bag(C). 
Started test at 17:13 PDT.  Ended test at 17:56PDT. 
 
Results:  
	Bag A:  8.6 l 
	Bag B:	 .4 l 
	Bag C:  7.25 l 
 
  Air continued to run into bag A for a minute after the valves to the 
others were closed, before the contents were measured, so the real reading 
for A should be lower.  The cond_samp command "S" stop does not turn 
off the pump, one must also enter the "P" command.

June 27 cond samp span gas test 
 
  Ran span gas into conditional sampler, with valves in cycle mode, 
and then checked samples from each bag. 
 
  First we checked the flow rate of the cond samp intake tube using an 
Aalborg flow meter (Aalborg offset = .02 l/min): 
				 
  V1 on sample, others vent:   .98 - 1.01 l/min 
  V2 on sample, others vent:   .98 - 1.01 
  V3 on sample, others vent:   .98 - 1.01 
  All vent		      1.08 - 1.11 
 
  Out of curiousity I loosened the lid on the cond samp weather box 
and ran the same flow rate test: 
 
  V1 on sample, others vent:  1.05 - 1.08 l/min 
  V2 on sample, others vent:  1.02 - 1.03 l/min 
  V3 on sample, others vent:   .97 -  .99 l/min 
 
  Since the valves vent into the box, the box lid should not be airtight 
but it does not make a large difference in the flow rate. 
 
  Span gas test 
 
  Valves set to cycle every 100ms (command:  "c10").  Started at 15:20 
to Box C.  The hose from the span gas cylinder and the cond samp intake 
hose were placed side by side inside a 30cc syringe.  The span gas 
was released into the syringe at 1.42 l/min which should insure that the 
cond samp is receiving pure span gas. 
  Lid on cond samp weather box was loosened at 15:33.  Test was ended (pump 
turned off) at 16:20:30 PDT.   
  We then took 5 syringe samples from each bag and ran these through the GC. 
 
  Pumpdown quantities: 
	Bag A: 7.4 l 
	    B: 1.0 
	    C: 7.2   These look like a threshold=0 test, but it was 
		     a cycle test!  Something's wrong here.
