Description

The work was carried out as part of the TORE SUPRA tokamak construction programme. Its aim was to solve the problem of non-compatibility between the steady operation of the helium refrigerator and the pulsed operation of the tokamak. A solution was investigated using thermal buffer filled with helium and operating at a constant volume at approx.= 4.5 K. To calculate the behaviour of the thermal buffer, a mathematical model is proposed consistent with experimental results. (author)
