| Modern electron accelerators for industrial application provide particle energy of up to 10 MeV and beam power of up to 100 kW. Such a beam is ejected into an air using a scanning system. The measuring channel based on a total-absorption calorimeter of flow-type for a beam calibration with respect to energy flow is designed. The processes of beam interaction with the primary measuring converter (a water-cooled beam absorber of especial geometry) were previously studied using a computer simulation. The metering circuit of the channel is made as a stand-alone module with LCD display and control keypad. It performs the operations of temperature measurement at the input and output of the absorber, as well as a water flow-rate determination. The absorbed power is calculated from measured parameters and then is displayed and stored into channel memory using appropriate software. The process is carried out both in off-line mode and under control of the external PC via a serial interface of RS-232 type. |
