M700 Helium Compressor    8 4 1  Removing Helium Contamination    Helium contamination is usually indicated by irregular  noisy  or intermittent operation   ratcheting   and sometimes the seizure of the coldhead or cryopump drive mechanism  This  is caused by the accumulation of frozen contaminants within the compressor load and  resulting in interference  The source of the helium contamination is due to either     e Inadvertent introduction of ambient air into the system  o Use of helium with purity of less than 99 999   such as helium gas used for  leak detection and welding    e Minor contamination can usually be removed by running the coldhead or cryopump  for several hours to trap the contaminants in the coldhead cryopump  then shutting  down the compressor and immediately removing the helium lines at the compressor   Then allow for the coldhead cyropump to warm thoroughly and perform the helium  cleanup procedures as outlined in the coldhead cryopump manual     The steps to remove compressor decontamination    1  Set the helium regulator to whatever the compressor return pressure gauge reads    i e  50 PSIG    Attach the running purge fill fitting to the return Aeroquip   Attach the helium charge line to the running purge fill fitting   Loosely attach the running purge vent fitting to the supply Aeroquip   Slowly tighten the running purge vent tool until helium is venting from the vent   tool   Open the regulator valve and watch the compressor pressure gauge  The pres
