Conclution:

When switch supply from ASP to Backup-LIN by (ASP Shutdown) normally just for some second
pressure must be drop firstly and make backup gradually open due to different pressure. This is of
chourse different with condition for case ASP trip, because there is no different pressure.

Pressure supply by ASP is 0.365.

Pressure supply by back-up is 0.340.

The nitrogen gas supply system used is based on the pressure difference. The highest pressure is
supplied first. In this case the ASP supply pressure is higher than the supply by Back-up, so in this
case several times the backup flow can return again because the ASP pressure is still higher so that
the supply by ASP requires 1 point time to first go decrease and not long after that the backup
supply can enter and slowly replacing ASP. However, the downtime is not long, and only a few
seconds according to the data listed and obtained from DCS.

Countermeasures

In this situation can be sure the supply pressure will be drop first somewhat drop first, so the supply
can be swapped. For countering this problem the pressure can be minimized a little with a longer
time, it's just that there is a certain time (have a very short time) to turn off ASP for keeping ASP the
best conditions. To solve this problem, the supply shift will try to pay more attention with a slightly
longer time and, so that the pressure is a little smoother ( Note: Pressure still must be drop first).
