Failure mode and effect analysis on ITER heat transfer systems

The Worker Exposure Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

“…[11][12][13][14] Fusion designs have also made good use of the FMEA. 15 The analysis tool is known for its systematic evaluation and ranking of faults that can occur in the system under study. The traditional FMEA is applied to all the major components of a given system to be evaluated, even when the system components are in multiple rooms or floors of a facility.…”

Reliability Estimation for Double Containment Piping

“…This Beta approach was put forward early in the ITER international project and remains a valid approach today. 24,25 Certainly some can argue that this approach is also conservative, that the outer pipe could function better than the Beta factor suggests, especially in view of the opportunity for constant monitoring of the pipe annulus. For early reliability studies on conceptual designs, this Beta factor approach is recommended for its simplicity and speed to address the double-walled piping issue.…”

Forecasting of failures in district heating systems

“…This model, with engineering accuracy, allows the anticipation of failures. The methods presented are applied to the particular case of heat distribution [2,11,13]. The heat supply system includes three subsystems: the subsystem of heat production, constituting the source of heat (heat and power station, heating station), the subsystem of heat supply (SbHS) which constitutes district heating systems along with utilities, and the subsystem of heat distribution, which includes district heating substation and internal central heating installations [3].…”
