Work reported here has been concentrating on experimental studies and calculations of pellet mass loss during transfer in a guiding tube as a function of pellet parameters such as velocity and ice composition, and guiding track characteristics such as vacuum conductance, geometry, size and shape of cross-section. Results from ASDEX Upgrade and ORNL systems suggest, that centripetal loads on the pellets due to small radii bends in the systems strongly increase the erosion of pellet ice. A deleterious effect of accumulated gas due to sublimated D₂-ice blocking the tube and eroding subsequent pellets has been found. However, an efficient vacuum pumping set up for a given pellet repetition rate can significantly improve the mass conservation with respect to closed tube systems. | | Free Keywords: | Pellet guiding systems; ASDEX; JET; Mass loss | | External Publication Status: | published | | Document Type: | Article |
