Abstract
- Abstract: This paper is focused on the assessment of the thermal behaviour in nominal operating conditions of two components of the ITER-NBI ion source: the arc-discharge chamber and the filament cassette assembly. The study is based on hydraulic, thermo-mechanical and thermo-electrical calculations performed by means of 2D and 3D finite element (FE) models, with inputs coming partly from the ITER reference design documentation and partly from the design review activities presently in progress. The paper describes the results of the analyses, comparing the alternative cooling design with the reference one, and highlights some open issues that should be worked out before finalizing the design.
