Abstract
This paper presents a description of the design and construction of Cooling Plant (CP) for SPIDER (Source for Production of Ion of Deuterium Extracted from RF Plasma) experiment, under realization at the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) in Padua, Italy. This supply is presently under procurement with Fusion for Energy Contract F4E-OPE-351 - -Cooling Plant for MITICA and SPIDER experiments?. Starting from the requirements specified in the Technical Specifications of Cooling Plant Procurement, the supplier Delta-Ti S.p.A. has developed a detailed and final design consisting of three different parts: hydraulic and general layout, electrical and control, chemical control systems. The main scope of the Cooling Plant is to reject the heat from in-vessel components taking into account also other technical requirements as the use of ultrapure deionized water as insulating coolant, the accurate thermal control of some in-vessel components, calorimetric measurements for scientific purposes. This paper presents the main characteristics of the SPIDER Cooling Plant inside PRIMA buildings, the connection of the Cooling Plant to the components inside the SPIDER vacuum vessel, the optimization process of the two large water basins by means of CFD simulations and, finally, details about present procurement status and foreseen tests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
