“…This conclusion is further confirmed in [6] where detailed results of transient FE thermal analyses of the TBM box are presented. In case of the steady state analyses presented here, a few localized hot spot occur in the front part of the horizontal SGs where too large portions of the material are not cooled adequately.…”

All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.fusengdes.2012.02.086 Recent works [4][5][6] focused on the thermo mechanical performance of the preliminary design of the EU HCPB TBM, developed since 2007 in vertical orientation. As the elastic analyses performed within these works highlighted several portions of the TBM box as being highly stressed in steady state and transient operation, designers have produced an improved TBM version trying to solve the structural issues.…”

“…The cycles considered here are defined by the typical ITER pulse: 30 s ramp-up, 400 s at maximum power and 60 s ramp-down [3]. The test environment has to be vacuum to have the same conditions as for FW experiments.…”

“…To reproduce the high heat loads, a surface heater with fast response time and capable of generating a homogeneous surface heat flux up to 500 kW/m 2 is required [3]. Following an investigation of various heating methods it has been chosen to use an infrared radiation heater consisting of a tungsten filament inside a quartz glass (fused silica) tube with a reflective coating on one side of the tube.…”

“…The HCPB TBM design has been extensively described in [7][8][9]. The HCPB TBM features a box structure (EUROFER as structural material): the U shaped FW is closed along the poloidal direction by the lateral Caps; an internal structure of horizontal and vertical Stiffening Grids (hSG and vSG, addressed as sub-components together with the Caps) defines the volume allocation for the Breeder Units (BUs).…”
