Dear All,
We had our quench early Sunday morning and everything went really well. We used an 8-inch aluminum duct off the magnet into a plywood tunnel (~4 feet by 4 feet) leading to a service shaft access to the outside.
Many portable rented fans and much video. In all I think we had 12 cameras filming.
I’m working on a formal hazard assessment form/document and “SOP”. When complete I’ll post to AMMRL for everyone’s viewing (and editing) pleasure.
So many thanks to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.
Attaching the duct. Our metal shop made an adapter. It was “sealed” to the duct via a sheet of 8x11 paper. When she quenched it punched through the paper down the duct (didn’t have to worry about moisture sucking back into the bore while we set up).
Duct was eventually attached into the side of this plywood tunnel which directed the cold gas down the hall to the service shaft and up to ground level.
Apres Quench!
Best wishes,
Ryan
