Method for Investigation of the Cooling Process of a Layout of a Lithium Divertor Module (LDM) under High Energy Loads

This work is devoted to the methodology for conducting experiments to study the process of cooling by a low-pressure gas–droplet flow under conditions of high energy loads on the receiving surface of a lithium divertor module (LDM) layout. The paper describes in detail the design of the LDM model, all the main systems, parameters, and layout of the test bench. The operating modes of water and gas cooling systems have been calculated under thermal action on the LDM layout with a power equal to 5 MW/m 2 . A description of the experiment on the development of a technique for cooling an LDM layout with a low-pressure gas–droplet flow has been given.
