RGM Unit, 1130 0016, 2537A (040): *161j - 040 placed in idle mode @ 1509z for the following changes: - RPF (D on, A off) - denuder (003 on, 2003 off) - soda lime trap - quartz filter - Teflon zero filter - all heating and zero air @ 1532z - all heating off and cooling on @ 1620z - all switches to auto and continuous sampling resumed @ 1642z. *166j - 040 placed in idle mode @ 1637z as 1130 pump was struggling to maintain a flow of 9.00 lpm. Left in idle mode during argon tank change @ 1654z. - swapped in new pump (~1815z to 1915z) for 1130 unit to correct flow problem, however this had no effect. *1130 pump unit experiencing flow problems. Possible block in outdoor unit however flow is also restricted for zero air flow. O.K. DENUDER INVENTORY = 1 case(s), 4 tube(s): 5 denuder(s). O.K.
