The Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) is a major US Department of Energy magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) test facility in Butte, Montana. The CDIF is operated by Mountain States Energy, a Division of MSE, Inc. The CDIF is responsible for performing integration testing of vendor-supplied MHD power train components to support the goal of commercialization. During the second quarter of FY 1985, the facility was operated to support Coal System testing and processing. First-stage, coal-fired combustor (CFC) characterization testing was completed and data analysis was initiated. Areas of progress included: Coal System operation; test bay modifications; plant availability enhancement; 1A channel refurbishment; independent test activity; coal-fired combustor (CFC) characterization testing; and preparation for power generation. 14 figs.
