COMPASS-U is a medium size, high magnetic field experimental tokamak ( R =0.9 m, Bt = 5 T, and Ip = 2 MA), built at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences (IPP-CAS). This global heat balance calculation for COMPASS-U was done at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). Based on our previous experience of building global thermal model for National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U) at PPPL, this 2-D global thermal model geometry represents a typical cross section of COMPASS-U machine. The model includes thermal radiation, conduction, and convection among components and also between the machine and outer environment. Helium gas heating/cooling was modeled with fluid element and surface element. This model was used to calculate component temperatures and heat distribution during heat up, cryogenic cool down, normal operation, and fault operation scenarios. Definition of 14 main thermal scenarios was provided by IPP-CAS. First nine are normal operation scenarios. Scenarios #10-#14 are fault scenarios. Some results of thermal scenario #5 will be given and discussed in this article, including peak temperatures, temperature ratcheting, energy distribution, and required cooling power.
