| DUNMORE GmbH is the number one supplier of high temperature insulation films for the Wendelstein 7-X core fusion experiment. The Wendelstein 7-X project, being constructed at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald Germany, is designed to test factors of nuclear fusion for power plant application; specifically test the parameters in controlling the 100 million degree plasma. Assembly of the stellarator began in early 2005 and is scheduled for completion in 2012.
Advanced Stellarator
Wendelstein 7-X is an advanced stellarator designed to create energy by generating a sustained nuclear fusion reaction by confining hot plasma within a magnetic field. The extreme heat of the plasma is contained with a superconducting magnet system. MAN DWE is constructing the vacuum vessel, the plasma inside reaching 100 million degrees. The magnetic field creates a separation between the plasma and the interior vessel wall and Multi-layer Insulation (MLI) is used as to reduce heat conduction and radiation to the external components. The MLI helps maintain the ambient external temperature necessary for the components to function.
