NPCF Week (7/1-7/7)

  • No incident to report
  • F&S continues  PM work
  • F&S Installing new weather station and tower fans vibration switches
  • reduction in leak alarms after the insulation repairs
  • Loading docs cleaning 

NPCF Week(6/17-6/23)

  • F&S started  VFDs annual preventive maintenance, it will take a week or so to complete, this is will not impact critical equipment but will impact office and mechanical rooms ventilation. 
  • brought in an outside mechanical contractor to estimate the cost to preform boilers tune up to verify combustion safeties and boiler setting. 

NPCF Week(6/10-6/16)

  • Site experienced power event that impacted Feed A which caused Blue Waters and industry systems productions to reboot.  
  • Event was caused by lighting activities that impacted Ameren transmission lines.
  • This event was not reported by the site power monitoring meters due to network filtering their email as spam, F&S has fixed the problem and reporting has been resumed
  • Reviewed power feed to the industry system, found out that most of the racks power are not redundant.
  • Resolved CRAH units alram
  • Working on to have an outside contract to tup up the boilers
  • Continues to cycle pump to inject biocide to inhibit  bacteria growth.
  • Getting pricing form F&S to install PPC4

 

 

NPCF Week 23 (6/3-6/9)

  • Multiple leaks detection alarms due to condensation of  chilled water pipes, submitted work order to fix insulation.
  • Wired 10 power drops for mForge
  • Lost one power feed to mForge rack EE133 while installing panel PP1A dead cover, power was restored after 17 hours when it was discovered.

 

NPCF Week 22 (5/27-6/2)

  • Humidity at Cray machines at 50 deg dew point, the CRAH are not producing any cooling due to low return air temperature.
  • Made adjustment to  fan setting in all CRAH, the fan was set to manual, I changed setting to return air and minimum speed of 60% for better efficiency and even pressure control.
  • Building chilled water pressure is oscillating due controlling valves not in tune, will address with Bruce Mikos when he is back from leave.
  • AHU 1,2,3 economizer not woking properly, had to take it off and switch to chilled water cooling to maintain temperature, will address with Bruce. 

 

NPCF Week 21 (5/20-5/26)

  • Experienced leak detection alarms due to condensation of exposed cold chilled-water piping.
  • Area under floor tiles are dirty need clean up
  • Working with Cray, made adjustment to chilled water pressure lowered to 10 psid ( Typically is set to 15 psid)
  • Turned off 6 CRAH units to conserve power and due to the data center floor temperature is low in the mid 60s
  • Logged temperature on LSST 73, 74 rack due to switches high temperature  

 

 

NPCF Week 20 (5/13-5/19)

  • Low level activity at the data center
  • Repowerd SCP 5 and 6 from different sources

 

NPCF Week 19 (5/6-5/12)

  • Assisted installing iForge racks blanking panels- all complete but one rack
  • Per Jim, severs temperature is 15-20 below max.
  • Electrician installed over protection devices for towers makeup valves
  • Blue water refrigerant temperature was lowed to 57 degrees F. 
  • Ceased tower operation for the season, cooling is 100% from campus.
  • Working May II cage

 

NPCF Week 17 (4/22-4/28)

  • Towers are cycling more often of/off due to weather warming up.
  • Sealed data center floor tile penetration to minimized air leakage, CRAH fans speed dropped from 100% to 75% saving energy
  • General building cleaning.
  • New tower controller is working well.
  • Submitted new facility PM in CMMS.
  • Tedra will be working with WireCrafter to order the cage.  

 

NPCF Week 16 (4/15-4/21)

  • Chilled water issues
    • per Luke, preliminary data shows the issues with chilled water is directly related to the XDP refrigerant temperature set point changes that was made recently not clogged stariners
    • Also early in the season, changes to the chilled water differential  pressure set point change (dropped from 30 to 25) may have contributed.
    • The above 2 cause the XDP valve to operate at higher opening to maintain refrigerant temperature during transition.
    • Operating at higher valve openping is good not bad thing
    • But the nuisance alarms have be addressed 
  • Tower water treatment controller is up and running, it required to stop tower operation for 2 days.
    • All water treatment now under control
    • Reports of Weekly and monthly water treatment will be be generated. 
    • This could be the last week for tower operation for the season.
