[Seven Cases of Troubleshooting and Analysis on VARIAN IX Medical Linear Accelerator]
Abstract:
This paper briefly introduced seven cases of malfunctions occurred in the VARIAN IX linear accelerator during operation, i.e., control board malfunction of electronic gun (GFIL interlock), modulator malfunction (HVCB interlock), energy programming board malfunction (EXQ1), energy conversion potentiometer malfunction (CARR interlock), MLC malfunction, thermostat valve malfunction (PUMP interlock) and ionization chamber malfunction (ION interlock). Moreover, malfunction cases analyzed and troubleshooting methods presented in this paper can provide reference for colleagues.
