Part 4/6:
After establishing initial heating, the focus shifts to achieving higher temperatures. The target is to gradually heat the reactor up to 1,000°C. At this stage, it is noted that, based on previous reactor data, the pressure may become negative relative to the atmosphere—suggesting that the system must be carefully monitored for consistency.
Moving forward, once the reactor reaches 1,200°C, the emphasis should shift towards maintaining that temperature rather than continually supplying energy. It is vital to adjust power levels downward to stabilize the temperature. Monitoring becomes even more critical as fluctuating energy levels can lead to undesirable changes in temperature and, subsequently, pressure.
