Zusammenfassung:•Analysis of the fluid dynamics in the coolant system of LVNC is presented.•Thermal and structural analyses are conducted.•Conclusions about the obtained stresses and temperatures are made. Lower Vertical Neutron Camera (LVNC) is a diagnostic system installed into the Diagnostic Rack of the ITER Lower Port #14. LVNC includes water cooling system, six detectors units, electrical feedthroughs and cables. Finite element model and finite volume model created with ANSYS software were used to obtain temperature and stress-strain state during Normal Operation and Baking modes.
