The first ITER's European Toroidal Field Coil (TFC) is going to be assembled in 2019. TFC composed mainly by the superconducting Winding Pack (WP - manufactured Europe), and Cases (TFCC Japan), which provide structural integrity magnet offer interface connections with rest of machine. Dimensional measurements other manufacturing data are taken during WP manufacture used reconstruct Current Centre Line (CCL), defined as barycentre as-built conductors inside WP. CCL useful characterize...
The highly innovative process, proposed by CNIM and chosen F4E, is based on a pultrusion technique that involves the manufacture of profiles epoxy S2-glass. Each pre-compression ring (PCR) manufactured winding flat pultruded profile (2 mm thick about 2800 m long) utilizing an adhesive tape (0.12 thick) between layers to freeze geometry. After curing cycle, PCR machined reach required geometry tolerances. will have diameter approximately 5 m, cross-section 332 × 288 weigh 3 tons. PCRs finally...
The plasma confinement of the International Tokamak Experimental Rector (ITER) is provided by magnetic field generated 18 toroidal (TF) coils while 6 poloidal (PF) and central solenoid modules have function to drive, shape pre-heat plasma. Fusion for Energy (F4E), European Domestic Agency ITER, responsible supply 10 TF 5 PF ITER project. utilize NbTi Cable-in-Conduit-Conductor (CICC) different diameters between 8 24 meters a weight up 400 tons. So far two EU coils, PF5 PF6, been completed....
In 2021, seven Toroidal Field Coil (TF) are already built by European industries and delivered to the ITER Organization (IO). The TF composed mainly a superconducting Winding Pack (WP), enclosing Cases (TFCC). One of main parameters characterizing TFCs is Current Centre Line, defined as barycentre WP conductors. CCL has been initially calculated for all TFCs, Fusion Energy (F4E) developed methodology monitor control during subsequent manufacturing processes, including insertion, TFCC...
