Summary of the test results (Preliminary/Incomplete)

Qualification Models QM2

First of all, a big thanks to the excellent support from CSIST/Academia Sinica, as usual, they gave us all their help needed and had to work overtime more than once to allow us a successful test.
In the following subsections, you get access to all logfiles and produced plots of the individual cycles. A summary of the result can be found in this document (TO BE DONE)

Test of the TPD with the GSE

Before going to the thermal chamber, extensive tests of the TPD with the GSE have been performed.

Before 1st thermal cycle

This was just a dry run of the initial scripts, these scripts still got modified during thermal cycle 1 and 2, so use the results with care! Still, all tests were successful.
Before the 1st thermal cycle

1st thermal cycle

1st thermal cycle at -25 degrees
1st thermal cycle at +55 degrees
1st thermal cycle at +55 degrees (with modified scripts)

Before 2nd thermal cycle

We had to shutdown between cycle 1 and 2 (week-end), so we did again some dry-runs on monday before continuing.
Before the 2nd thermal cycle

2nd thermal cycle

This cycle was used as a dry run for the 'final' version of the test scripts. No furter modifications of the scripts have been applied after this cycle for consistency with the qualification cycles 9 and 10.
2nd thermal cycle at -25 degrees
2nd thermal cycle at +55 degrees

9th thermal cycle

First qualification cycle.
9th thermal cycle at -25 degrees
9th thermal cycle at +55 degrees

10th thermal cycle

Second qualification cycle.
10th thermal cycle at -25 degrees
10th thermal cycle at +55 degrees

Before the 11th thermal cycle

11th thermal cycle

Test of the equipment during thermal cycling, just to be sure everything works.
11th thermal cycle at -25 degrees
11th thermal cycle at +55 degrees

14th thermal cycle

3rd qualification cycle.
14th thermal cycle at -25 degrees

15th thermal cycle

3rd qualification cycle.
15th thermal cycle at -25 degrees
15th thermal cycle at +55 degrees

After all thermal cycles

Final verification at the end of ESS.
After all thermal cycles

Test of the TPD with the GSE

After thermal cycling, vibration and the 2nd thermal cycling, the TPD was again checked with the GSE.
