Design of a Test Section for the Experimental Investigation of the WCLL Manifold Hydraulic Features
A scaled-down test section representative of an Outboard Segment manifold of the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket for the European DEMO has been designed for installation and test in a high- mass flow branch of the W-HYDRA facility, under construction at the premises of ENEA Brasimone Rese...

| description | A scaled-down test section representative of an Outboard Segment manifold of the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket for the European DEMO has been designed for installation and test in a high- mass flow branch of the W-HYDRA facility, under construction at the premises of ENEA Brasimone Research Center. The test section should confirm the flow repartition recently computed in the different breeding units on the full-scale manifold, validating at the same time the computational tools used for the design and analysis. The detailed objectives and requirements of the test section, as well as the scaling rationale and procedure adopted for its design, are presented in the paper. The final design of the test section is discussed. The preliminary analyses of the developed design are also presented and show that it is compliant with the initial objectives. |
