Abstract

In order to prevent oil contamination in TFTR's Tritium Cleanup System, exhaust pressure control system has been designed and installed between the mechanical pumps and the Gas Holding Tanks (GHTs). This control system designated the 'Vacuum Exhaust Active Pressure Control' is designed to maintain all mechanical pump exhaust pressures at acceptable levels over the entire operating pressure range of the GHTs (250-750 torr). Described are the systems active pressure control butterfly valve and the ancillary hardware and controls. In addition, discussed is the operational performance of the system on TFTR.
