Difference between version 42 and version 30:
Lines 36-38 were replaced by lines 36-37
- *Always measure the Helium level in the dewar before you take a Dewar away. The Level meter in the
- prepartion area shows the level in cm. Make sure that there is sufficient helium for filling. The dewars
- should be returned with a level of at least 8-10 cm.
+ *The Level meter in the preparation area shows the level in litres. Make sure that there is sufficient helium for filling. The dewars
+ should be returned with a level of at least 10-15 litres.
At line 40 added 1 line.
+
At line 42 added 9 lines.
+ __Helium Dewar Transport:__\\
+ Helium dewars are brought into the experimental area with the 1T crane.
+ *Only instructed people are allowed to use the crane. (A short training is offered by the LDM mechanics personal.)
+ *Only dewars with pre-installed transport straps are allowed for crane transportation.
+ *To extend the straps please use the proper extensions as shown in the picture below.

- and open it. The dewar is now pressurized to 0.2bar over pressure.
-
+ and open it. The dewar is now pressurized to 0.15 bar over pressure.
+ *make sure not to empty the vessel completely, the people running the liquefier will love you. On the transfer line, normally there is a prolongation with a hole at 10 cm above the end. If not, you should lift the transfer line by 10 cm after inserting.
Line 64 was replaced by lines 73-84
-
+ !Returning Liquid Helium Dewars
+ please return dewars to the dewar station as soon as possible after the transfer
+ *connect the dewar to the rubber hose of the dewar station
+ *open the manual valve to the recovery
+ *open the manual pressure release that is connected to the recovery on the dewar
+ *check the other manual pressure release. it MUST be closed
+ *retighten the locking nut of the Helium extraction port
+ *connect the level probe
+
+ IMPORTANT:
+ recheck that all valves are in the right state and the level is reading before you leave
