Main benefits

Pump performances in conformance with known S/C manufacturer expectations:

  • Flow rate (150 l/h)
  • Pressure rise (DPMAX = 1.5 bar)
  • Operating temperature (TQUALIF = +85 °C)
  • Operating with two-phase fluids (tolerant to bubbles)
  • Limited sub-cooling.

Next steps

  • EM Pump Test (mid-2020)
  • Pump lifetime demonstration with EM model (began in 2020)
  • CDR Review and Qualification campaign (began in 2020)
