Temperature field calculation and cooling water design of the pyrobreaker in Quench protect system
The pyrobreaker, which serves as a backup protection switch in the Quench Protection System (QPS), is critical to maintaining the safe operation of superconducting fusion devices. However, the thermal energy generated by sustained current flow rises dramatically with current levels, which could harm the pyrobreaker and increasing the risk of QPS failure. Therefore, a reliable cooling water system is essential for ensuring the long-term reliability and stability of both the pyrobreaker and the overall system. First, the paper presents the overall structure and operational principles of the pyrobreaker in the QPS and then provides a detailed description of the cooling water system design. Second, the temperature of the cooling water system is calculated and analyzed theoretically by a numerical simulation model. Three, a 100kA test system platform was built to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the cooling water system design. The results show that the cooling system effectively meets the temperature control requirements under 100 kA working conditions. This paper provides considerable theoretical support and a practical reference for ensuring QPS reliability and long-term stability in superconducting fusion systems.
