Hydraulic characterisation of ITER CICC cooling inlets.

Author(s) : DECOOL P., CLOEZ H., SERRIES J. P., et al.

Summary

The cooling of ITER cable in conduit conductors (CICC) is insured by supercritical helium forced flow in the central and annular parallel channels. The helium inlets are in the most critical highest field region at the inner bore pancake joggle. They have to ensure a low pressure drop as well as a balanced flow repartition among sub-cables. Two different designs were proposed adapted to the specificities of the CS and TF coils conductors. Mock-ups were manufactured and qualified using GN2 at relevant Reynolds number. These hydraulic results are presented and analysed.
