Two different types of SMBI system are now installed on HL-2A. One is an electromagnetic valve injector on the low field side (LFS), and the other is a pneumatic valve injector on the high field side (HFS). A new electron density record nc = 4.7× 10^19 m ^-3 which exceeds both the Oreenwald density limit and the maximum density obtained by gas puffing (GP), was obtained on HL-2A with single-null-divertor operation. The HFS injection system is still under test, however, its outstanding fueling characteristics have already been observed, e.g. it has higher fueling efficiency compared to the LFS system. This excellent feature is still preserved during the process of ECRH.展开更多
