Development of six-shot pneumatic pellet injector

Description

A six-shot pneumatic pellet injector has been developed by Kobe Steel in collaboration with Plasma Physics Laboratory, Kyoto University, and installed on HELIOTRON E for plasma fueling applications. More than 90% of the pellet shots are successful in operation. Pellet velocity ranges from 400 m/s to 1 400 m/s. This paper outlines the configuration of the injector. The design of the fast solenoid valves and the guide line system are also described. (author)
