Heater function and locationHeater function and location
The heater is a critical component for the evaporative system: it allows to evaporate the The heater is a critical component for the evaporative system: it allows to evaporate the residual liquid after the HEX and to raise the vapor temperature at the exhaust above the cavern residual liquid after the HEX and to raise the vapor temperature at the exhaust above the cavern dew pointdew point

HistoryHistory
First idea to use a heater with a coiled heating wire First idea to use a heater with a coiled heating wire inside the return tube is dated 3 years agoinside the return tube is dated 3 years ago
Since then two sets of prototypes have been made, Since then two sets of prototypes have been made, the second one has been used to fully qualify the the second one has been used to fully qualify the heater design and the control systemheater design and the control system

• SCT EC temperatures close to 100 °C
• Fluid limit is about 120 °C
• Decreasing ID by 1 mm the temperature lowers by 20 °C (and the pressure drops increase to 80 mbar)
• Wait tests on final prototype to take decision
