Popis: International audience; The present paper deals with the analysis of the behaviour of a very large Annular Linear Induction Pumps (ALIP) for liquid sodium. This pump is able to provide high flow rates (more than 7,000 m3/h with a pressure discharge of about 3.7 bar). Dimensions of pumping channel under the active part are of an average diameter of 966 mm and a length of 4,500 mm. The global and local stability of the pump are analyzed. It is found that in the nominal conditions, stable operation may be obtained. The start-up of the pump is also investigated. The coil current switch-on must be carefully analyzed in order to avoid large over-pressure occurring during the transient.
