Subject: VAC System Heating Update 
Started bake 7 on Monday but found issues with the heating as the cross in front of the RGA got way too hot too quickly. This resulted in shutdowns of the heater tape while I could still only set the main PID controller for the lid to 75C. Tuesday I moved the PID controller sensors to be on the cross in front of the RGA and on the Reducing nipple. I then placed the alarm sensors onto the lid of the chamber and the barrel. This should hopefully prevent excessive heating on then smaller components. I also started the bake again Tuesday, but only set the temperature to 85C for now and will increase it further tomorrow when I get a good idea of the equilibrium point of the chamber.
