中国环流器HL和欧洲联合环JET的检漏技术进展

对HL环流器系列装置,开发了蒽-丙酮荧光液渗透检漏用于真空内衬的零部件检漏,灵敏度可以达到10-9Pa.m 3.s-1,示漏位置分辨小于0.5mm;对大容器真空检漏,采用四极质谱计和氦质谱检漏仪相配合的检漏法;对压力容器检漏,开发了真空罩吸枪-氦质谱检漏系统,还研制了适于抽除大量水汽的检漏真空机组。对氘氚放电的JET,使用普通的氦质谱检漏仪(扇形磁体型)受到真空室壁释放所吸留的氢同位素的、尤其是氘的严重干扰,因为示漏气体氦(4H e,4.0026u)与氘(D2,4.0282u)的质量数十分相近。在氦质谱检漏仪入口处串接选择性抽气泵——用液氮冷阱来抽除可凝气体、用分子筛泵或10K低温泵来抑制氢同位素本底,并前置一个涡轮分子泵来压缩加强采样气流等。这种加强组合能使原先的氦质谱检漏系统灵敏度提高3个量级以上。

HT-7装置回旋质谱探测器边界离子诊断

介绍了回旋质谱探测器的原理和设计及其在HT-7装置欧姆放电下对边缘等离子体中离子的诊断实验。探测器安装在限制器附近,通过一小孔引进等离子体;设置的前置偏压使电子和离子分离,并使离子减速;进入腔体内部的离子在射频电场和平行磁场的作用下发生回旋共振;通过考察收集的离子电流信号中的共振峰可得到离子的荷质比、回旋频率等参数。实验中观察到荷质比为1、0.5、0.3333、0.1819的离子共振峰。

Ions Measurement at the Edge of HT-7 Tokamak

A reliable method of measuring ions and ion temperature in tokamak plasma is necessary, for which an omegatron-like instrument has been developed on the HT-7 tokamak. The basic layout of the omegatron-like instrument is shown in this article. The measurement of working gas ion has been performed in the last experimental campaign on HT-7 tokamak. The relations among ion current, the electron repeller voltage and trap voltage have been investigated. This omegatron-like instrument has also provided the edge-plasma ion temperature.
