在Tore Supra，近20年来，面向等离子体的组件（PFC）通过加压水主回路主动冷却。Tore Supra可以被认为在这个特定方面与ITER相关。在等离子体操作期间，意外的局部功率沉积物损坏PFC，导致真空容器中或多或少的大量水泄漏。通过对面向等离子体的组件（PFC）漏水及其后果进行分析，多年来积累了丰富的经验，我们改进了漏水回路的定位程序，研究了最大限度减少真空容器中蒸汽冷凝水的技术解决方案，优化了Tore Supra冷却回路的排水和干燥质量。本文介绍了今年为实现这些目标而设计和安装的不同新的特定系统。
For almost 20 years at Tore Supra, plasma facing components (PFCs) are actively cooled by a pressurized water primary loop. Tore Supra can be considered as ITER relevant on this particular aspect. During plasma operation, it happened, that unexpected localized power deposits damaged a PFC leading to more or less large water leaks in the vacuum vessel. The improvement of the procedure to localize the leaky circuits, the investigation of technical solutions for minimizing the amount of water from steam condensation in the vacuum vessel and the optimisation of the quality of the draining and the drying of Tore Supra cooling loop circuits are the result of the experience gained during several years by the analysis of the water leak from plasma facing components (PFCs) and their consequences. Different new specific systems designed and installed during this year to fulfil these objectives are described in this paper.
