Abstract

In this paper we analyse a thermo-hydraulic performance of the first wall blanket module during the stationary DEMO operation with the edge localized mode (ELM). Heat loads are estimated based on scaling arguments and predictions from the peeling-ballooning ELM model. Effect of parallel heat fluxes intersecting with the first wall panels and avoidance of overheating by inclination of the panels are considered. The material temperatures of the W/EUROFER sandwich type module with water cooling stainless stell tube and Cu alloy compliance embedded into EUROFER is calculated by using the MEMOS code. The calculations were carried out indicating the required geometric parameters as well as the cooling conditions which allow keeping materials temperatures within allowable engineering limits. Effect of inclination of the first wall plates to avoid the misalignment problems is considered.
