Abstract

Xe gas is moved to target from GPM. It is used to feasible nuclear reaction from proton of 30MeV cyclotron being investigated by the Xe-124 gas target system. This system is divided into four parts. The hardware system was constructed by solidworks 3-D CAD and Helium supply is to cool the Havor foil. The Cooling water has the job of cooling down the temperature when Xe gas is being investigated in the target. Temperature and pressure gauges are attached to be checked easily. GPM has the part that prepares to transport Xe gas. There are storage vessel that stores Xe gas, the cold trap that filters humidity and impurity and lastly storage vessel that temporarily stores Xe gas. HCS using the helium is to clean and cool for each part. These parts are configured with SIEMENS PLC and PcVue monitoring program for more comfortable and easy maintenance.

30MeV 사이클로트론의 양성자가 Xe-124 기체 표적 시스템에 조사될 때 일어나는 핵반응을 적용하여 Xe 가스를 GPM으로부터 타겟으로 전송하는 시스템을 설계하였다. 시스템 설계는 크게 4파트로 구성되며 각각의 하드웨어 부분은 솔리드웍스 3-D 캐드를 이용하여 설계하였다. 타겟 시스템 중 헬륨으로 Havor foil을 냉각시키게 설계했고, 타겟 내 Xe 가스가 양성자로 조사 시 상승하는 타겟 온도를 냉각수로 냉각시켜주도록 설계하였다. 또한, 온도센서와 압력센서를 장착하여 타겟 내의 온도와 압력을 확인할 수 있도록 구성 하였다. GPM은 Xe 가스를 타겟으로 운반, 준비하는 부분이며 Xe 가스를 저장하는 부분과 불순물을 제거하는 부분으로 구성되어 있다. HCS는 헬륨을 이용하여 각 파트를 세척하고 냉각시켜 주는 부분이며, 각각의 장치들은 PLC로 제어하여 유지보수시의 편리성을 추구하였고 PC Vue 모니터링 프로그램을 사용하여 SIEMENS PLC와 인터페이스 하여 시스템을 보다 안전하고 편리하게 감시하도록 구성하였다.
