DCLL TBM Design Status FNST Meeting, August 12-14, 2008, UCLA Mo Dagher1 and Edward Marriott2 With Input from Clement Wong3, Siegfried Malang4 and Mohamed Sawan2 And the US DCLL Team 1University of California – Los Angeles 2UW – Madison, Fusion Technology Institute 3General Atomics, 4Consultant
The DCLL TBM has undergone a major design change since the last time a design review was held. Changes focused on an optimized He flow circuit through the Grid Plates as well as changing the PbLi flow scheme. Work is ongoing to complete the back plate design, He Plenum design and overall TBM design optimization based on input from thermal and structural analysis. System integration design update for TBM interface with Frame assembly, Port extension and AEU

Design Change Highlight DCLL TBM Design Design Change Highlight Original Design Concept Reversed PbLi Flow Starting at the top PbLi Inlet in back Channel with Downward flow PbLi Outlet flow in Front channel Upward Flow Replaced PbLi concentric pipe concept with two individual I/O Pipes He Flow in FW is Un-Changed, 2 circuits, 7 passes per circuit He Flow in Grid Plate is Modularized. He Flow in Grid plate in radial direction Multi-layered back plate design Configuration. Current Design Concept
PbLi Flow Scheme 5) LL flow exits TBM 1) LL Flow Enters TBM 2) LL flow splits into Three Channels and flows down inner chamber 4) LL flow Collected in the Upper Manifold 3) LL flow turns around and flows up outer chamber
He Flow through First Wall Flow through top plate He Flow through First Wall Step 2: Helium splits to the First Wall flow circuits. Helium splits to the First Wall flow circuits. Helium counter-flows through six First Wall passes and Bottom Plate. Step 3: Helium counter-flows through six First Wall passes and Bottom Plate. Helium flows into seventh pass, top plate, and Pb-Li horizontal plate. Flow through First Wall
