| Popis: | 20 Hz pellet injection system was installed for improving a fueling system of KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) in 2016. Several things of hardware such as a liquid helium transfer line, an extruder nozzle and an extension part of pellet guide tube are changed for 2017 campaign. For plasma experiments, the pellet injection system uses the smallest pellet (1.5 mm of length, 2 mm of diameter). The pellet velocity can be variable from 150 m/s to over 200 m/s by controlling of propellant gas pressure. The clear increase of plasma density observed during KSTAR experiments is also presented in this paper. |
