Abstract
For tritium processing in JET during the next Deuterium-Tritium-Experiment (DTE2), a fully tritium compatible and continuously working vacuum pumping system has been developed. This pump train will be used as roughing pump to cover a pressure regime between 10â1Â Pa and ambient pressure. Therefore, a two-stage liquid ring pump in combination with a booster vapor diffusion pump will be applied. In this paper, a close-to-final design of the pumps is being described. Finite element (FEM) simulation results of components where high mechanical stresses due to thermal gradients are expected are presented. Furthermore, the final design of the control and data acquisition system is shown and explained.
