• High efficiency translates in lower COE and lower heat load
• Brayton cycle is best near-term possibility of power conversion with high efficiency– Maximize potential gain from
high-temperature operation with SiC/SiC

Brayton Cycle Based on Near-Term Technology and Advanced Recuperator Design Yields High Efficiency
Advanced Brayton cycle developed with expert input from GA and FZK, Karlsruhe • FZK/UCSD ISFNT-4 paper, 1997
• GA/UCSD ANS TOFE-14 paper, 2000
• Min. He Temp. in cycle (heat sink) = 35°C
• 3-stage compression with 2 inter-coolers
• Turbine efficiency = 0.93
• Compressor efficiency = 0.88
• Recuperator effectiveness = 0.96

High Efficiency Requires High Temperature Operation
• Conventionally, maximum coolant temperature is limited by structural material maximum temperature limit
• Innovative design solutions in ARIES-ST and ARIES-AT allow the blanket coolant exit temperature to be higher than the structure temperature
August 17, 2000ARIES: Fusion Power Core and Power Cycle Engineering/ARR

ARIES-ST Utilizes a Dual Coolant Approach to Uncouple Structure Temperature from Main Coolant Temperature
• ARIES-ST: Ferritic steel+Pb-17Li+He
• Flow lower temperature He (350-500°C) to cool structure and higher temperature Pb-17Li (480-800°C) for flow through blanket

ARIES-AT Utilizes a 2-Pass Coolant Approach to Uncouple Structure Temperature from Outlet
Coolant Temperature
• ARIES-AT: 2-pass Pb-17Li flow, first pass to cool SiC/SiC box and second pass to “superheat” Pb-17Li
• Maintain blanket SiC/SiC temperature (~1000°C) < Pb-17Li outlet temperature (~1100°C)

– ALPS liquid divertor option collaboration
– Fully radiative divertor to maintain reasonable peak heat fluxes, ~ 5 MW/m2
Divertor Coolant Compatible with Blanket Coolant and/or Power Cycle Fluid
– ARIES-RS: Li in insulated channel (same coolant as blanket)
– ARIES-ST: He coolant (from power cycle)+high heat flux porous media (Pb-17Li as blanket coolant)
– ARIES-AT: Pb-17Li in SiC/SiC channel (same coolant as blanket)
• Assess Key Limiting Issue • Detailed Analysis and Innovative
Solution to Maximize Performance of Coolant/Material/Concept Combination
e.g. MHD Effects for Liquid Metal Cooled Divertor
– Minimize MHD effect by design choice; use of coatings, insulating inserts or SiC pipes
– However, solution must be confirmed by R&D
