High heat flux testing for fusion and advanced thermal systems

Through its collaboration with Fusion for Energy (F4E), the HELCZA (High Energy Load Czech Assembly) facility has developed advanced capabilities for the testing and qualification of components exposed to high thermal loads. Located at the Research Centre Řež in the Czech Republic, HELCZA enables the validation of plasma-facing and high-heat-flux components under conditions representative of fusion reactors. Originally developed to support ITER-related needs, the facility is also relevant for other advanced thermal systems requiring reliable performance under severe heat loads.
Main advantages and potential applications:
  • Electron beam testing under heat loads of several MW/m²
  • Validation of full-scale components and complex assemblies
  • Large vacuum chamber and dedicated high-heat-flux test infrastructure
  • Integrated cooling and thermohydraulic systems for realistic operating conditions
  • Advanced diagnostics for thermal behaviour and component integrity assessment
  • Suitable for fusion components, aerospace thermal protection systems, advanced power systems, and high-performance industrial cooling solutions
