Type
Forthcoming tender
Research Facility
ITER
The scope will include the Cryostat detail and manufacturing design, the manufacturing,
factory acceptance, packing and shipment to FOS harbour, support services during the site
installation activities of cryostat.
The Cryostat shall provide an enclosure for the ITER Toroidal Field (TF) and Poloidal Field-1
(PF-1) magnet in order to perform testing under current at 4K temperature. The main functions
of the Cryostat are to:
Provide a vacuum environment to avoid excessive thermal loads (conductive,
convective and radiative) from the outside environment to the magnets being tested at
cold temperature
Provide a mechanical support for the magnets
