Optimization Analysis of the Structural Design of NNBI Cryosorption Pumps

Abstract

Cryosorption pumps create a vacuum by adsorbing gas at low temperature through porous solid adsorbents. The transmission probability of gas molecules and heat loads of cryosorption pumps are important factors affecting its performance. Herein, Molflow software based on the Monte Carlo principle is used to analyze the effects of the structural design of cryosorption pumps on transmission probability. The influence of structural design on radiation heat transfer is analyzed by ANSYS Steady-State Thermal software. This provides a reference for the design of a cryosorption pump to validate the prototype of a neutral beam injector for the China Engineering Fusion Experimental Reactor (CFETR).
