Imants Bucenieks, Guntis Bunga, Kalvis Kravalis

During material testing under radiation conditions they are bombarded with neutrons. A lot of heat is generated. It is necessary to cool the tested material. The most effective coolant is liquid metal flow because metals have both good heat conductivity and capacity. Loop for tested material cooling with liquid mercury was developed. To provide metal circulation in the loop electromagnetic pump with rotating permanent magnets was chosen. Pump has a simple construction and is safe in use.
