The cooling water pump of the turbomolecular pump was damaged and now cooling water of turbomolecular pump is connected with cryogenic pump's in series.
 
Due to the heat generation of the turbomolecular pump is very low, it won't lead to an obvious increase of the cooling water's temperature. So the step that connects the cooling water of  turbomolecular pump with the cryogenic pump's in series is feasible.

Ohmic heating discharges
 
From this process, something new has been discovered. First of all, the H-alpha ray peak may indicate the collision between plasma and the wall. Secondly, a wider current platform has been gained by adjusting the discharge voltage of the vertical field’s two group of capacitors.

The reason why vacuum often lost has been discovered.
 
    There are several accidents that the vacuum was suddenly lost with the sustainment of both cryogenic pump and ionization pump. The gas pressure unexpectedly increased from 7E-5Pa to 1E-1Pa. The ionization pump then was self-protected. The cryogenic pump didn't stopp working but the surface was covered by frost.
    Now it is supposed that since the operation...

The silicification of the vacuum's wall
 
Without the capacitance guage indication of the pressure, the silane's glow discharge plating continues for about 30 minutes. During the process, the leakage of the pipeline for entering gas led to a small-scale fire. The fire was controlled by the solid carbon dioxide extinguisher. After the silicification, the microwave preionization ohmically heated discharge continues but no better results were...

The cryogenic pump began to operate. The microwave negative high voltage power supply now is controlled by optical fiber.
 
   The compressor of the cryogenic pump now is cooled by an integration system of copper tube heat interchanger and a diving pump originally used in a fish tank. When the circular water in the cryogenic pump has the temperature of 22 centigrade degree, the counterpart of the exit of the compressor is balanced at 42.5 degree.
   After 2 hours' cooling, the temperature of the...

The cryogenic pump was moved to a shelf with a height of 2 meters and began to pump gas.
 
 A refrigerator is used to cool the turbomolecular pump. The circular water system, which originally did this job, now is operating on cooling the compressor. Till now it is working normally. The temperature of the cryogenic pump has declined to 12~13K.

Dry the vacuum and use the glow discharge to clean the plasma.
 
From the mass spectrum analysis, it was found out that basis of the vacuum is water. Cover a quilt with the surface of the tokamak when drying the vacuum.

It was found out that the pressure of the vacuum was abnormal in this morning.
 
 It was found out that the pressure of the cryogenic pump was 0.4Pa, the one of the vacuum was 3.6Pa. The surface of the cryogenic pump was covered with frost and the pump was still operating. By judging from the voice and the pressure, the compressor and expander were working normally. The temperature of the cold head was still 423K. The ionization pump has been protected. The circular water...

: Bulk release of gas occurred again in the cryogenic pump. The radiator of the cryogenic pump’s compressor has been assembled.
 
 In the condition of the radiator working normally, the compressor of the cooling water system no longer starts up when the circular water system is unloaded, which is much better when compared with the former condition that even if the circular water system is unloaded, the duty cycle of the compressor in water system can be up to 50%. (Obviously, the increase of equilibrium temperature is also...

Improve the output random waveform of the vertical field.
 
Use the simplest single-chip circuit to get the ideal result as soon as possible.

Inner probes have been installed and connected with the vacuum. But the pressure of the vacuum rose steeply.
 
Although there is no evidence to prove the existing of leakage, the pressure maintained the value of 1.4E-3Pa, which was considered at the value of 9E-5Pa before installation. It seemed that enamel-insulated wire and Teflon became the source of gas.

The differential pumping system has begun to be assembled. A current sampling resistance whose value is about 2mOhm has been connected in the circuit of vertical field.
 
It has been discovered that vertical field contributes much to the plasma current. As a result, it is urgent to control the vertical field. A non-faradic resistance folded from a stainless steel piece which has a length of 90mm, a width of 100mm and a thickness of 0.6mm has been connected in as the sampling current for the vertical field control circuit. By calculating, the value of the resistance...

Power supply of the assistant electrodes has been examined and the plasma current signal has been resume normal condition.
 
The false behavior of the power supply of the electrodes seemed due to a possible reason that the momentary charge led to the output error of the voltage comparator 339. When the big contactors were replaced by the purified power supply, the false behavior was removed. But actually this is not the ultimate method to solve the problem. At that moment, the signal of the plasma current was credible....

Due to the outgasing of the inner magnetic probes, the turbomolecular pump operated for a whole night. But the vacuum has been obviously improved.
 
When the probes were connected with the vacuum vessel, the pressure of the vacuum stayed at a value of 2E-3Pa. Even if the valve was shut down, the pressure still fell at a very low speed, which resulted in the continuous operating of the turbomolecular pump. However, it was discovered that the show value of the barometer declined from 8~9E-5Pa to 5E-5Pa. Meanwhile the current of the ionization pump...

The circular water system of the cryogenic pump can no longer do the work of refrigeration again.
 
The system began to fail to operate from a moment in this afternoon. When the cryogenic pump was turned off at about 5 o’clock this afternoon, it is found out that the temperature of the water is so high that even can burn our hands. Only the blower was working to lower the temperature at that moment.
