	An optimized design of a stellarator-type storage ring for low energy ion beams was numerically investigated. The magnetic field variation along the circumference and therefore magnetic heating is suppressed by using simple circular correction coils. Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations in a magnetic flux coordinate system show the ability of high current ion beam accumulation in such a configuration with unique features for clockwise and anticlockwise moving beams. Additionally scaled down experiments with two 30 degree room temperature toroidal segments were performed to demonstrate toroidal transport and to develop optical beam diagnostics. Properties of multi-component beams, redistribution of transversal momenta in the non-adiabatic part of the experimental configuration and investigation of strongly confined beam induced electron clouds will be addressed.
