    Abstract: A flow rate control device 100 includes a flow rate control valve 8 having a valve element 8a and a piezoelectric element 8b for moving the valve element, and a control circuit 9 for controlling an operation of the flow rate control valve 8, wherein, in order to perform a pulsed fluid supply, the control circuit 9 is configured so as to open-loop control an applied voltage to the piezoelectric element so that it approaches the target voltage after once applying a voltage V1 exceeding a target voltage V0 corresponding to a target displacement of the piezoelectric element, when a pulsed flow rate setting signal is given.

    Abstract: A self-diagnosis method of a flow rate control device includes: a step (a) for measuring a pressure drop characteristic after a pressure control valve (6) has been changed to a closed state from a state where a fluid flows from the upstream side of the pressure control valve with the opening of a flow rate control valve (8) is larger than a restriction part; a step (b) for measuring the pressure drop characteristic after the pressure control valve has been changed to the closed state from a state where the fluid flows from the upstream side of the flow rate control valve to the downstream side with the opening of the flow rate control valve is smaller than the restriction part; a step (c) for determining whether there is an abnormality by comparing the pressure drop characteristic measured in step (a) with a corresponding reference pressure drop characteristic; a step (d) for determining whether there is an abnormality by comparing the pressure drop characteristic measured in step (b) with a corresponding reference pressure drop characteristic; and a step (e) for determining that there is an abnormality in the flow rate control valve when it is determined that there is an abnormality only in the step (d).

    Abstract: A pressure-type flow rate control device 1, while maintaining an upstream pressure P1 of an orifice 5 at approximately at least twice a downstream pressure P2, calculates a flow factor FF of a mixed gas consisting of two types of gases mixed at a mixture ratio of X:(1−X) by FF=(k/ρ){2/(κ+1)}1/(κ−1)[κ/{(κ+1)R}]1/2 using an average density ρ, an average specific heat ratio κ, and an average gas constant R of the mixed gas that are calculated by weighting the densities, specific heat ratios, and gas constants of the two types of gases at the mixture ratio, and calculates a flow rate Q of the mixed gas passing through the orifice by Q=FF·S·P1(1/T1)1/2, where S is the orifice cross section, and P1 and T1 are respectively the pressure and temperature of the mixed gas on the upstream side of the orifice.
