"Demonstration of a modular exchangeable PFC concept based on radiatively cooled lithium heat pipes in Magnum-PSI"
30th Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT), Giardini Naxos, Messina, Sicily, 16-21 September 2018

G.F.Matthews R.Nygren W. Morgan S. A. Silburn R. Otin A.Tallarigo the Magnum PSI Team

In 1998 Makhankov [1] described the concept of modular exchangeable plasma facing components (PFCs) based on liquid metal heat pipes which are radiatively cooled. Here we present results from recent experiments with a lithium filled tubular heat pipe owned by Sandia National Laboratories. The tantalum envelope (~20mm diameter by ~200mm long) was he…
