A fluid supply apparatus with a plurality of flow lines branching out from one regulator for adjustment of pressure, the flow lines being arranged in parallel, wherein a measure is taken that the operation, that is, opening or closing of one flow passage will have no transient effect on the steady flow of the other flow passages, For this purpose, each flow passage is provided with a time delay-type mass flow controller MFC so that when one closed fluid passage is opened, the mass flow controller on that flow passage reaches a set flow rate Qs in a specific delay time Δt from the starting point. Also provided are a method and an apparatus for the above in which a plurality of gas types can be controlled in flow rate with high precision by one pressure-type flow control system. To that end, a formula for calculating the flow rate of a gas is theoretically derived that flows with a pressure ratio not higher than the critical pressure ratio. From that formula, the flow factor is defined, so that the formula may be applied to a number of gas types using flow factors

An on-off device disposed at each of the inlet and the outlet of a fluid controller is one of five kinds of on-off devices, i.e., on-off device having a two-port valve, on-off device having a two-port valve and a three-port valve, on-off device having a two-port valve and two three-port valves, on-off device having two three-port valves, and on-off device having three three-port valves, The main bodies of two-port valves of all types of on-off devices are identical in configuration and each have an inlet and an outlet in a bottom face thereof. Main bodies of three-port valves of all types of on-off devices are identical in configuration and each formed in a bottom face thereof with an inlet, an outlet always in communication with the inlet, and an inlet-outlet subopening.

First and second two spacing jigs 81 are used each having a rectangular parallelepipedal body 81a formed on the bottom surface thereof with projections 82 which are arranged side by side at a spacing equal to a predetermined interval between reference bores 106. First, the projections 82 of the first jig 81 are fitted in front reference bores 106 of respective lower members 31, 32, 33, and the projections 82 of the second jig 82 in rear reference bores 106 of the lower members. A right angle holding jig 84 in the form of a rectangular frame and having inner side faces positionable respectively in contact with the front side face of the first jig 81, the rear side face of the second jig 81 and the left and right side faces of the two jigs 81 is fitted around the bodies 81a of the two jigs 81 to adjust the arrangement of bores 106 to right angles. The lower members are fixed to a support member in this state by tightening up screw members 110.

摘要:
A fluid control system, and its valve assemblies, are used to control the feeding of fluids accurately (by operating (opening and closing) valves promptly and accurately), for the manufacture of semiconductors, magnetic thin films, biotechnical products, and other products. The fluid control system comprises a principal control line (L) and plural branch control lines (L 1 , L 2 , ...) for feeding plural types of fluid (G 1 , G 2 ,...) into a processing device (C) coupled to the principal control line, and plural valve assemblies (V) incorporated in the branch control lines (L 1 , L 2 ,...) for switching the fluids (G 1 , G 2 ,...) supplied into the processing device (C). Each of the valve assemblies (V) comprises a fluid drive valve (V') having a fluid pressure actuator (1), and an electromagnetic valve (V") integrally attached, in single housing, substantially without hoses, to the fluid drive valve (V') to feed a working fluid (A) into the fluid pressure actuator (1).

A coupling (104,80) comprises a holding member (40) having a U-shaped cross section, and a channel member (41,101) held by the holding member. The holding member (40) has an upper wall (81) formed with screw bores (84) for use in attaching the holding member to a fluid controller. The channel member (41,101) comprises a body having an inner channel and fitted in a space between the upper wall of the holding member and a lower wall thereof, a tubular upward projection (92) communicating with the inner channel of the body and having an upper end (92) inserted in a through bore (85) in the upper wall (81) of the holding member (41,101) to communicate with a downward channel of the fluid controller, and a tubular lateral projection (94) communicating with the inner channel of the body and extending laterally. The upper end of the channel member has an outward flange (93), and the through bore of the upper wall of the holding member has an inward flange (85a) for supporting the flange.

A fluid control apparatus comprises a mass flow controller, two on-off valves disposed at the inlet side of the controller and three on-off valves disposed at the outlet side of the controller. At the inlet side, a main fluid on-off valve is positioned on a purge fluid on-off valve, and at the outlet side, a vent on-off valve is positioned on a vacuum suction on-off valve, with a main passage on-off valve further positioned on the vent on-off valve.
