my student misunderstood one of my explanations and opened the vent valve of our Agilent 7000B MSD during the vent cycle, maybe around 10 min after I had started it.
I have to assume the quads were still about 130 °C and the source was maybe 140-ish °C (all well above the 100 °C recommended). Since the foreline pump was still running, air was sucked in for 10, 15 or 20 min. The turbo pump should have been off or at a low rpm.
Has anyone else been through this before? If so, how much of a damage has it caused in your case?
Once I have put the system into operation again, I would compare tune reports before/after. Any additional suggestions?
Thanks and best
