摘要
The installation of an actively water cooled divertor in the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W-7X) is mandatory to achieve stationary power and particle exhaust for pulse lengths up to 30 min. The highly loaded divertor area is made of 100 target modules distributed in ten divertor units. The target modules have mechanical support frames with attachment systems to the plasma vessel, and manifolds to distribute water equally between the target elements. A target element is designed to remove a stationary heat flux up to 10 MW/m2 and is made of a CuCrZr copper alloy heat sink armored with CFC NB31 tiles. The manufacturing process, assembly and quality assessment of the last 70 target modules has been successfully completed in the Integrated Technical Centre of IPPGarching. Some parts such as the target elements and manifolds were delivered by industry. The quality was assessed as follows: visual inspections, measurement of the 3-D CFC surface, dynamic pressure tests, He leak testing under pressure at different temperature (20 ?C, 160 ?C) in vacuum oven, high heat flux testing. The production of the water cooled divertor is now completed, and the mounting operation of the target modules in the plasma vessel of W7-X has started.
