Sentence examples for loss of vacuum from inspiring English sources
The Toroidal Dust Mobilization eXperiment (TDMX) system is designed to experimentally simulate flow features and dust mobilization mechanisms in tokamak fusion reactor loss of vacuum accidents.
A milk-sampling device was designed to allow collection of multiple samples during a milking without loss of vacuum or interruption of milk subsampling.
This work addresses the hydrogen safety issue of an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITERR) in case of a loss of vacuum accident (LOVA) scenario.
Although it has not been possible to eliminate the occasional loss of vacuum by air and coolant leaks, it is concluded that the consequences of these failures can be minimised.
The loss of vacuum or degradation of the receiver has a significant impact on the receiver's thermal performance and is the single largest cost factor in parabolic trough solar power plants.
The full procedure, measurements, results and discussion are described in this paper, aiming to understand as fully as possible the cause of the loss of vacuum experienced by the receivers.
During Loss-of-Vacuum or Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (LOCA/LOVA) it is possible to form inside the ITER vacuum vessel an explosible atmosphere containing fine Be or W dusts and hydrogen.
The accident analyzed is a loss-of-vacuum accident (LOVA), during which air enters the CLiFF vacuum vessel (VV) from an adjoining room through a connecting diagnostic port or plasma-heating duct.
For the past several years, the Fusion Safety Program at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) has modified the MELCOR code in order to assess safety issues associated with loss-of-cooling accidents (LOCAs) and loss-of-vacuum accidents (LOVAs) in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) engineering design activity (EDA).
Although thermal stability of solar absorbers is typically examined under vacuum, high temperature air stability is required for practical applications in concentration solar power (CSP) technologies: solar tower systems receivers operate in air and, on the other hand, air stability is highly preferred in parabolic trough collector systems due to occasionally undesired losses of vacuum conditions.
Therefore, in this paper, after introducing the characteristics of the PAFS and its design requirements, a performance analysis of the PAFS is performed for two accident cases: Loss of Condenser Vacuum (LOCV) and Feedwater Line Break FLBB).
