Liquid Metal Coolant Connections to DCLL Blanket Diagrams
Explore detailed diagrams illustrating the coolant connections to the Dual Coolant Lead-Lithium (DCLL) blanket in a fusion reactor design. The layouts show the arrangement of liquid metal coolant ducts in the skeleton ring, transition from the skeleton ring to the blanket, and a basic maintenance concept for IB blanket replacement. The emphasis is on the flow path of the liquid metal coolant to avoid 3D MHD problems and ensure efficient cooling.

Coolant Connections to the DCLL Blanket S. Malang, Dara Navaei, Xueren Wang ARIES Project Meeting UCSD January 23-24, 2012
Scope of Presentation Layout of coolant connections limited to the liquid metal supply to the IB blanket. Basic geometry and power level taken from Laila s presentation at the Project meeting in July 2011. Main emphasis placed on LM flow path avoiding 3D MHD problems. All LM coolant ducts inside the sector up to the IB blankets are concentric ducts embedded into the skeleton ring.

Transition from Skeleton Ring to Blanket
Basic Maintenance Concept for Blanket replacement (Described here for the IB blanket only) Cut the coolant access pipes to a sector outside the inner door of the vacuum vessel. (For the IB blanket LM supply: 1 concentric tube) Open the inner door. Extract the entire sector in radial director, and transfer it to a hot cell. Separate there the IB blanket from the skeleton ring by opening the closure plate, cutting the assembly weld between skeleton ring and blanket back wall, and by opening the mechanical connection between these two components. Replace the old blanket by a new blanket.
