The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) had been under major upgrading from 2020 to 2021 in China. In this campaign of major upgrading, the new lower tungsten divertor is successfully installed to achieve the targets of long pulse and high β H-mode plasma operation. High temperature and high pressure Divertor primary heat transfer system (DIV PHTS) is also developed to remove the plasma deposition heat load on the Divertor. This paper presents a description of the design and construction of DIV PHTS for EAST Tokamak. Starting from the requirements specified in the Technical Specifications of DIV PHTS, the process to meet the Divertor cooling and baking requirement is designed and validated by the supported thermal-hydraulic analysis. Then, the piping stress analysis under different types of load combinations is performed to verify the structural design requirements. General layout design is also performed based on the component requirement and the allocated space in the EAST Tokamak hall. Finally, the procurement and test of the system main equipment is also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
