Neutral beam injection heating of Ormak

Book ·
OSTI ID:4416730
From 3rd international symposium on toroidal plasma confinement; Garching, Germany (26 Mar 1973). A basic ORMAK neutral-injection heating module was developed that is capable of delivering 120 kW to the plasma with acceptable levels of impurities and streaming neutral gas. Independent variation of the energy, power, equivalent current, neutral species, time of injection, and angle of injection will be possible. Significant increases in ion temperatures are expected when using these heaters. Each injector can supply atomic neutrals at three different energies so that 12 simultaneous energies can be supplied with four injectors. The displacement of the toroidal field coils to allow for the beam tube causes a field perturbation of about 1% at the liner and about 0.4% at the discharge center. Kilovolt ion temperature increases are expected from this heating. (GE)
