NSTX

This document outlines the details of the NSTX (National Spherical Torus Experiment) upgrade, focusing on structural integrity, alignment data, and installation aspects as of April 14, 2010. It covers the installation locations, measurement accuracy, and alignment of PF5 structures. The analysis includes an overview of support rings, insulation, and spring systems under various loads, assessing deflections and stress concentrations. The report emphasizes ongoing efforts to enhance thermal performance and material optimization in the vessel's assembly, ensuring a robust and effective upgrade for the NSTX project.

  2. Alignment Data PF5( A&B and U&L) Installed location Current Location Measurement accuracy

  3. Alignment PF5 Lines- original location, dash lines-lower Symbols- current location

  4. Overall assembly

  5. Overall-mid plane

  6. Pedestal/Centerstack - ongoing

  7. PF4/5 support 6 new columns 6 Old locations at vessel VEM interface to clamp

  8. TF Support Rings Springs

  9. Tf-Links 4” OD Tube x .25” thk Insulation Springs @10,000 LBF/ins

  10. Preliminary Analysis-no radius rod envelope load • No Radius rod, • Similar behaviour at K = 19.85 KlbF/ins from Han’s chart • Deflection ~ .35”, Max von mises ~ 50 Ksi at Al to cu interface

  11. Preliminary Analysis- radius rod @12,000 lbf/ins Deflection ~ .31”, Max Von Mises ~ 36 Ksi

  12. Overall status • Ongoing to mature PDR Radius rod spring ~ 10,000 Lbs/ins PF4/5 radius support-thermal issues Interface to center stack, lids, spokes • Refinement from matured PDR-others material optimization stress and stress concentration weight Fabrication Installation
