Commissioning of the inductive heater for hypervapotron testing

The paper describes commissioning of the inductive heater based on numerical simulation of inductive heating in the hypervapotron sample and test channel. The HEFEL loop is being developed to research a high heat flux cooling channels applicable in fusion devices. The Box Scraper hypervapotron channel geometry represents a primary focus of research. Conditions in the first wall of tokamak are simulated by induction heating of the tested hypervapotron channel. The exact heat flux of tested sample is difficult to measure, thus the numerical simulation of induction heating and thermohydraulic model of the cooling channel are an important part of HEFEL loop commissioning. ANSYS Maxwell 3D and ANSYS Fluent coupling is used for optimalization of the induction heating to achieve the highest heat fluxes using selected induction heating source.
