摘要：

Ten cryo-vacuum pumps (CVPs) were installed in the subdivertor region of each island divertor in the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) and operated for the first time during the recently completed plasma campaign OP2.1. A pumping speed of 70 +/- 1 m(3)/s was measured during dedicated tests with known hydrogen gas injection. Based on a conductance model, the estimated pumping speed ranges from 86-93 m(3)/s for different sticking coefficients between 0.6 and 0.8. After completion of the initial tests the CVPs were operated successfully throughout the campaign, with regeneration performed once a week. Neutral gas pressures in the subdivertor in the range of 10(-4) mbar are well within the molecular flow regime and limit the particle exhaust capabilities of the CVPs. Simulations of the neutral gas pressure in the three-dimensional complex geometry of the subdivertor were performed using the DIVGAS code based on the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and a model implemented in the steady-state thermal package in ANSYS, which are in agreement with the measured values during plasma operation.
