Water cooled modules

Air-cooled zone modules do not have the ability to remove as much energy as do water-cooled units. For processes that only require a low level of cooling, air-cooled units will provide a more stable control of the temperature. Recent Innovations In air cooling using high-flow fan systems [12] have allowed the replacement of some water-cooled systems with less costly and lower maintenance air-cooled systems [11]. 

The high-pressure steam from the separator is sent to the steam turbine under speed control, and the generated electricity is sent to the grid or to other users. The low-pressure steam is condensed by cooling it with cooling water. The flow of the cooling water is modulated by the turbine exhaust pressure controller. 

The shielding blanket is composed of water-cooled steel modules, which are directly supported by the vacuum vessel and are effective in moderating the 14MeV neutrons, with a water-cooled copper mat bonded to the surface of the modules on the plasma side, and protected from interaction with the plasma by beryllium. Manufacturing considerations can be found elsewhere [48]. The first wall incorporates two start-up limiters located in two equatorial ports. With the aim to reduce cost and nuclear waste, the design includes a modular and separable first wall. This allows damaged or eroded blanket modules to be repaired inside the hot cell either by replacement of panels or by plasma spraying or other methods. 

The values of the ratio of the power eonsumed to the power removed obtained from the cooling module tests are substantially higher than those shown for the orifiee plates. There are several reasons for this. Because some of the jets did not impinge on the diode sinee the area eovered by the jet array was larger than that of the diode, part of the water did not remove any heat, while still being pumped.

High Ambient and Off-Gas Temperatures Water cooling was employed for the launch and receiver modules, the pathlength control probes, and the break flange. A total of six thermocouples were used during the first several months of operation to monitor the thermal conditions of the optics modules and probes. Thermocouple data was recorded on a separate data logger located near the measurement location. Each module had an internal thermocouple, a thermocouple to measure enclosure water outlet temperature, and a thermocouple to monitor the water outlet temperature of each probe.

The resulting time-dependent post-fire elastic modulus distributions through the cross section depths, obtained from Eq. 8.2, were shown in Figure 8.19a,b for the noncooled and water-cooled cases [14]. The steps in the curves at 17 and 179 mm distance from the hot face, at time t = 0, resulted from the different elastic modules of face sheets and webs (see material description in Section 8.4.1). The water-cooled case showed a modulus reduction in the outer part of the fire-exposed face sheet only, where a plateau was reached at 88% of the initial value (corresponding to the recovery modulus) at a depth of 8-14 mm from the hot face. In the noncooled case, however, a progressive change of post-fire elastic modulus through the entire depth of the inner face sheet, webs, and some parts of the outer face sheet was... 

For these reasons electron beam evaporation has received considerable interest. An example of electron beam evaporation is shown in fig. 4. A steady flux of electrons is generated by a heated filament. By means of a combination of electric fields and magnetic fields this electron beam is directed into the water-cooled copper crucible containing one of the pure components. Small modulations of the magnetic fields are applied continuously in order to increase the active surface of the impinging electron beam and in order to prevent the beam from burning a hole into the ingot. For a three-component amorphous alloy three of such electron beam... 

Fig. 4. Schematic representation of an electron beam source used for vapour deposition. Electrons are ejected from a hot filament at the back of the crucible housing. The path of the electron beam is controlled by means of electric and magnetic fields. The beam impinges on the metal to be evaporated, contained in. a water-cooled copper crucible. Modulation of the magnetic field is used to increase the effective impingement area of the electron beam.

One of our major goals was to make this technology work with room-temperature GaAs lasers. These are small, efficient, can be current modulated, are potentially inexpensive and reliable but have limited power. At present, 10 to 20 mW CW is the most one can expect to achieve reliably. In comparison Nd YAG lasers are bulky, expensive, inefficient, require water cooling and the pump-lamps have limited lifetime. In addition, an expensive modulator (e.g., acousto-optic) is needed for the LV system. 

Figure 5.3 is a cut-away view of the FSV reactor core in a prestressed concrete reactor vessel (PCRV), with control rods inserted into the top of the core. The PCRV acted as a pressure vessel, containment, and biological shield. The bottom head had 12 penetrations for the steam generator modules, four penetrations for the helium circulators, and a large central opening for access. A 3/4 in.-thick carbon steel liner anchored to the concrete provided a helium-tight membrane. Two independent systems of water-cooled tubes welded to the concrete side of the liner and kaowool fibrous insulation of the reactor side of the liner limited the temperatures in both the liner and the PCRV.

The last two top and bottom modules on the right (b) are for active cooling of the soldered circuit board to ensure that solder has reached solidus before exiting the oven. In this machine, cooling zones are aided by fans blowing over water-cooled radiators. (Courtesy of Heller Industries).
