Description
The common design of the cryopumps for pumping the divertor and the cryostat has been completed at ITER following more than 10 years of development including prototyping and a number of design studies. This final design, which will be validated by building a Pre-Production Cryopump, achieves a number of simplifications and is expected to solve issues identified in previous concepts. The paper will present the build to print manufacturing design of the cryopump according to European Standards. The fabrication and qualification methods will be discussed and a summary of the main manufacturing methods will be given. The design of the valve assembly and its integration in the cryopump with the valve shaft double bellows will be described in detail
