Numerical Analysis and Optimization of Divertor Cooling System
Authors: Andrei Khodak and Michael A. Jaworski
Abstract:
Novel divertor cooling system concept is currently
under development at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
(PPPL). This concept utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide as a
coolant for the liquid lithium filled porous divertor front plate.
Coolant is flowing in closed loop in the T tube type channel.
Application of CO2 eliminates safety concerns associated with
water cooling of liquid lithium systems, and promises higher
overall efficiency compared to systems using He as a coolant
