A fluid-switchable flow rate control system that permits free changing of the full scale flow rate and which can control a plurality of kinds of fluids with high precision. The fluid-switchable flow rate control system controls the flow rate of fluid with the pressure P1 on the upstream side of the orifice member held about twice or more higher than the downstream pressure P2, the fluid-switchable flow rate control system comprising an orifice member 8 replaceable with another to provide a suitable orifice diameter according to the kind of fluid and the flow rate range, a control valve 2 provided on the upstream side thereof, a pressure detector 6 provided between the control valve 2 and the orifice member 8, a flow rate calculation circuit 14 where from the pressure P1 detected by the pressure detector, the flow rate Qc is calculated with the equation Qc=KP1 (K=constant), a flow rate-setting circuit 16 for outputting flow rate setting signal Qe, a flow rate conversion circuit 18 for multiplying the calculated flow rate signal Qc by the flow rate conversion rate k into switch-over calculated flow rate signal Qf (Qf=kQc) to change the full scale flow rate, and a calculation control circuit 20 to output the difference between the switch-over calculation flow rate signal Qf and the flow rate setting signal Qe as control signal Qy to the drive 4 of the control valve 2, thereby opening or closing the control valve to bring the control signal Qy to zero, thus controlling the flow rate on the downstream side of the orifice member.

Stable flow control is made possible even under high-temperature environments by relieving tensional force applied to a piezoelectric element when a piezoelectric actuator is retracted. Thus, a piezoelectric driven control valve includes: a body having a valve seat; a metal diaphragm to contact with and separate from the valve seat; an actuator box supported ascendably and descendably on the body; a split base fixed to the body; a disc spring pressing and urging the actuator box downward to bring the metal diaphragm into contact with the valve seat; and a piezoelectric actuator housed inside the actuator box and that extends upward with application of voltage to press the actuator box upward against the elastic force of the disc spring, and a precompression mechanism, for applying a compression force constantly to piezoelectric elements in the piezoelectric actuator, provided between the split base and the piezoelectric actuator.

A method for supplying a specified quantity Q of processing gas while dividing at a desired flow rate ratio Q1/Q2 accurately and quickly from a gas supply facility equipped with a flow controller into a chamber. When a specified quantity Q of gas is supplied while being divided at a desired flow rate ratio Q1/Q2 from a gas supply facility equipped with a flow controller into a reduced pressure chamber C through a plurality of branch supply lines and shower plates fixed to the ends thereof, pressure type division quantity controllers FV1 and FV2 are provided in the plurality of branch supply lines GL1 and GL2. Opening control of both division quantity controllers FV1 and FV2 is started by an initial flow rate set signal from a division quantity control board FRC for fully opening the control valve CV of the pressure type division quantity controller having a higher flow rate and pressures P3′ and P3″ on the downstream side of the control valve CV are regulated thus supplying a total quantity Q=Q1+Q2 of gas while dividing into the chamber C through orifice holes (3a, 4a) made in shower plates (3, 4) at desired division quantities Q1 and Q2 represented by formulas Q1=C1P3′ and Q2=C2P3″ (where, C1 and C2 are constants dependent on the cross-sectional area of the orifice hole or the gas temperature on the upstream side thereof).

摘要:
The present invention provides a system for recording valve actuation information that enables to figure out the actual operation condition of each individual valve without checking plural valves individually, and the valves do not have to be wired, and the structure of the system is simple.The present invention is a system for recording valve actuation information comprising a valve, detecting means for detecting actuation of said valve, a RFID tag affixed to said valve and recording the valve actuation information detected by said detecting means, and a terminal for reading out the valve actuation information detected by said detecting means, wherein said RFID tag searches said terminal by intermittently transmitting a radio wave, wherein said RFID tag transfers the valve actuation information recorded in said RFID tag to said terminal when said RFID tag detects said terminal.
