The thermocouple data acquisition system for JET neutral beam injection

  • 1. JET Joint Undertaking, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 3EA (UK)

Description

Each of the JET neutral injection beamlines has a thermocouple data acquisition system designed to take signals from 400 thermocouples mounted in beamline components. These data acquisition systems, described in this paper, are specially designed to suit a 10 MW long-pulse beamline operating in a radioactive environment. The signals which are used to calculate beam power densities from transient analysis come from special thermocouples and are sampled once every 40 ms. Thermocouple readings are also used to calculate total power absorbed by beamline components using water flow calorimetry or by the temperature rise of the component
