Action Items from 10/7 meeting
1. Quantify the oil carryover? (Alicia)
- Data gathering ongoing for C9 and other machines; ~1 order of magnitude difference between oil removed at 4th coalescer between CHL C9 and HDR C1.
- Does it improve the oil removal to leave the drain valves slightly open?
2. What are the options for the oil sensors and would using a different oil sensor work better? (Nate)
- ULTRASONIC
- CAPACITIVE
- FLOAT SWITCH
Visual indication of whether the automated control is working??
3. Flush the oil. (Mat)
- On hold until more data can be collected with existing oil.
4. Check the piping for oil after the final oil coalescer with a swab. (Nate)
- Will be done during shutdown for oil change.
5. Check the orifice size on the compressor. (Alicia)
- Alicia contacted manufacturer and importer for this information.
6. Pump Oil out of compressors C7 and C8. (Alicia)
- Withdrawing as much mineral oil as possible: will follow up with Isaac's crew to investigate. On hold until immediately before ready to install. Plan is to do an initial run for some duration, then replace oil (approximates a flush).
7. Add fitting to the tubing from the oil coalescer drain valves back to the compressor body. (Nate)
- Options exist.
