Re: [AMMRL] Quench narrowly avoided? Filling small magnets connected to helium recovery

To follow-up on what Sameer said, my initial thought was an ice blockage below
the stinger as well.  You were fairly thorough in your write-up, so I
assume you would have mentioned this, but out of curiosity, did the stinger
go all the way into the magnets to the usual depths?  I agree with him
that it would seem rather suspicious to have blockages on both magnets, but
was it possible during the install/hook-up to the recovery system that the
trunk was positive with atmosphere (or dirty helium, at least) and could
have back-flowed into both magnets?

Absent that, it does seem there is a great deal of back pressure and a
picture of the wider exhaust line used during transfers might help diagnose.

Good luck.

Regards,
David
