Cryosorption pumps create a vacuum by adsorbing gas at low temperature through porous solid adsorbents. The transmission probability of gas molecules and heat loads of cryosorption pumps are important factors affecting its performance. Herein, Molflow software based on the Monte Carlo principle is used to analyze the effects of the structural design of cryosorption pumps on transmission probability. The influence of structural design on radiation heat transfer is analyzed by ANSYS Steady-State Thermal software. This provides a reference for the design of a cryosorption pump to validate the prototype of a neutral beam injector for the China Engineering Fusion Experimental Reactor (CFETR).
The RF-driven negative ion source has a steady state characteristic and will be a promising ion source for neutral beam injection (NBI) in the future. Cesium (Cs) injection is an efficient method to enhance the yield of negative ions during plasma discharge. In order to support the engineering and physical research in this field, the Cs oven prototype has been developed for negative ion source based neutral beam injector at ASIPP. This article presents the design details of a Cs oven system, including the constant temperature control system, the mechanical structure of Cs oven, and the surface ionization detector (SID). SID is a measurement method for the cesium flux in the nozzle. The experiment results of constant temperature control system show that the control accuracy and function meet the requirements of device operation. Meanwhile, the simulation analysis of Cs vapor concentration has been carried out in this paper. According to the simulation results, the graph of total Cs flux is given in the article, which presents the reference for the subsequent device testing.
An important feature of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) project is the additional heating obtained from the injection of neutral beams based on accelerated negative ions. For the neutral beams based on negative ions, the most important measurements are beam uniformity, beamlet divergence, and stripping losses. According to the CFETR requirement, the maximum allowed beam divergence angle and beam nonuniformity are 6 mrads and ±10%, respectively. As one-dimensional (1-D) carbon tiles have large ratio between perpendicular conductivity and parallel conductivity and high stability, they can be used for beam uniformity and beamlet divergence measurement. This paper investigates the influence on the response of 1-D carbon tile having the thermal characteristics and features of some dedicated diagnostics. Simulations show that it will be possible to verify experimentally whether the beam meets the requirement about the maximum allowed value. This work lays a foundation for design and application of high-precision beam diagnostic targets.
