Abstract

The liquid metal shield laboratory (LiMeS-Lab) will provide the infrastructure to develop, test, and compare liquid metal divertor designs for future fusion reactors. The main research topics of LiMeS-lab will be liquid metal interactions with the substrate material of the divertor, the continuous circulation and capillary refilling of the liquid metal during intense plasma heat loading and the retention of plasma particles in the liquid metal. To facilitate the research, four new devices are in development at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research and the Eindhoven University of Technology: LiMeS-AM: a custom metal 3D printer based on powder bed fusion; LiMeS-Wetting, a plasma device to study the wetting of liquid metals on various substrates with different surface treatments; LiMeS-PSI, a linear plasma generator specifically adapted to operate continuous liquid metal loops. Special diagnostic protection will also be implemented to perform measurements in long duration shots without being affected by the liquid metal vapor; LiMeS-TDS, a thermal desorption spectroscopy system to characterize deuterium retention in a metal vapor environment. Each of these devices has specific challenges due to the presence and deposition of metal vapors that need to be addressed in order to function. In this paper, an overview of LiMeS-Lab will be given and the conceptual designs of the last three devices will be presented.

LiMeS-Lab:聚变反应堆液态金属屏蔽技术开发的综合实验室
液态金属屏蔽实验室(lime - lab)将为未来聚变反应堆的液态金属分流器设计提供开发、测试和比较的基础设施。LiMeS-lab的主要研究课题将是液体金属与分流器衬底材料的相互作用、等离子体热负荷下液态金属的连续循环和毛细管再填充以及等离子体颗粒在液态金属中的保留。为了促进研究,荷兰基础能源研究所和埃因霍温理工大学正在开发四种新设备:lime - am:一种基于粉末床融合的定制金属3D打印机;LiMeS-Wetting是一种等离子体装置,用于研究液态金属在不同表面处理的各种衬底上的润湿;LiMeS-PSI,一种线性等离子发生器,专门用于操作连续的液态金属回路。还将实施特殊诊断保护,以便在不受液态金属蒸气影响的情况下进行长时间拍摄的测量;LiMeS-TDS是一种热解吸光谱系统,用于表征金属蒸气环境中氘的保留。由于金属蒸汽的存在和沉积,这些设备都有特定的挑战,需要解决这些问题才能发挥作用。本文将概述lime - lab,并介绍后三种装置的概念设计。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Fusion Energy features original research contributions and review papers examining and the development and enhancing the knowledge base of thermonuclear fusion as a potential power source. It is designed to serve as a journal of record for the publication of original research results in fundamental and applied physics, applied science and technological development. The journal publishes qualified papers based on peer reviews. This journal also provides a forum for discussing broader policies and strategies that have played, and will continue to play, a crucial role in fusion programs. In keeping with this theme, readers will find articles covering an array of important matters concerning strategy and program direction.
