Summary
High-flux sodium-cooled receivers have low thermal inertia and short response times. Controls must keep the outlet temperature constant at changing power levels, without compromising structural integrity. The Advanced Sodium Receiver (ASR) and its controls are designed to accomplish this; it is of interest to determine how close performance approaches expectations.
