Batch boiling targets are commonly used in cyclotrons to produce Fluorine-18 by proton bombardment of Oxygen-18 enriched water. Computational models have been developed to predict the thermal performance of bottom-pressurized batch boiling production targets. The models have been validated with experimental test data from the Duke University Medical Cyclotron and the Wisconsin Medical Cyclotron. Good agreement has been observed between experimental measurements and model predictions of average target vapor fraction as a function of beam current and energy.
批量沸腾靶通常用于回旋加速器中，通过用质子轰击富含氧 - 18的水来生产氟 - 18。已经开发了计算模型来预测底部加压批量沸腾生产靶的热性能。这些模型已通过杜克大学医学回旋加速器和威斯康星医学回旋加速器的实验测试数据进行了验证。在实验测量与作为束流和能量函数的平均靶蒸汽分数的模型预测之间观察到了良好的一致性。
