Isothermal compressor/gas-bubble to liquid heat exchanger (ICHX)

Creators

Description

The cost of a fusion reactor would be reduced by replacing helium compressors and intercoolers with an isothermal liquid jet compressor and direct-contact heat exchanger (ICHX). The ICHX is fundamentally a water-jet ejector coupled to a water-circulating and heat-removal system. Analytical modeling and small-scale tests indicate that none of the ICHX configurations we investigated had efficiencies high enough to be useful in the proposed application
