Abstract

Abstract The stellarator fusion experiment Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is upgraded with 10 cryo vacuum pumps and the dedicated cryo supply, which consists of cold circulators, 11 transfer lines, and a distribution valve box. The paper shows the ϐirst operation experience on mass ϐlow, cooling conditions and operation restrictions.
