Abstract:
A fluid control system for pulse delivery of a fluid include a flow channel, an isolation valve to initiate and terminate a pulse of fluid from the flow channel, and a pulse mass flow controller (MFC). The MFC includes a control valve to control flow of fluid in the flow channel, a flow sensor to measure flow rate in the flow channel, and a controller to control flow of fluid through the control valve and switching of the isolation valve, to control a mass of fluid delivered during the pulse of fluid. Controlling the flow of fluid through the control valve can be based on feedback from the flow sensor during the pulse initiated and terminated by the isolation valve.
