Some considerations to preliminarily design the size of the Expansion Volume (EV) and the relief pipes for a Vacuum Vessel Pressure Suppression System, to be adopted in a fusion reactor based on a helium cooled blanket, are presented. The volume of the EV depends on the total energy of the cooling system and it can be sized based on a required final pressure at equilibrium, by a simple energy balance. Two different EV solutions have been analysed: a “dry” EV and a “wet” EV. In this last, a certain amount of water could be mixed (by spraying or discharging in a pool) with the discharged helium, to reduce its temperature and allowing a lower size of the EV with respect to the “dry” solution. The pressure peak in vacuum vessel (VV) depends mainly on break area and flow area of the relief pipes and a simple formula to be used to size these pipes is suggested. The computer code CONSEN has been used to perform sensitivity analyses and to verify the methodology.
