Abstract
The Pamir-3U MHD power system acceptance test program was successfully performed in the United States in 1995. The Pamir-3U MHD system is a portable power system that can be transported to various operational locations. The power system is self-contained and does not require extensive support equipment to generate the design power. A preliminary acceptance test program, consisting of five power tests and several preliminary tests, was conducted during august 1994 in Russia. During this test program, power levels as high as 15 MW/sub e/ were obtained, operation of the facility in various operating modes was demonstrated and several tests were conducted where the resistance was varied during the hot-fire test run. For the final Pamir-3U MHD power system acceptance test program, eight hot-fire tests were performed. The performance levels of the Pamir-3U MHD power system were confirmed during these tests. As a result of the experiments performed, the operational ability of the Pamir-3U MHD power system to operate in a variety of performance modes and under a variety of operating conditions was confirmed.
