    摘要: Provided is a flow rate controller. The flow rate controller calculates a resistor flow rate that is a flow rate of a fluid flowing through a fluid resistor, on the basis of a first measured pressure measured by a first pressure sensor and a second measured pressure measured by a second pressure sensor; controls a second valve on the basis of a deviation of the resistor flow rate from the set flow rate; outputs a first set pressure that is a target of a pressure upstream of the fluid resistor, on the basis of the set flow rate and a second set pressure which is a target of a pressure downstream of the fluid resistor and to which a constant value is set; and controls the first valve on the basis of a deviation of the first measured pressure from the first set pressure.

    摘要: In order to prevent unnatural behavior of a calculated flow rate, provided is a fluid control device in which a fluid control valve and upstream and downstream pressure sensors are provided on a flow path. The device includes a calculation unit configured to calculate a flow rate based on measured pressures; and an output unit configured to output the calculated flow rate, and exhibit a zero output function of outputting a zero value regardless of the calculated flow rate when the valve is in a closed state. The device is further configured to switch between execution and stop of the zero output function, and when the valve is in an open state and a difference between the measured pressures of the pressure sensors is larger than a threshold, stop the zero output function and cause the flow rate output unit to output the calculated flow rate.

    摘要: To provide a flow rate control valve that can improve responsiveness of flow rate control of a pressure differential type of a flow rate control device. The flow rate control valve is so configured to comprise a pair of valve members each of which has a seat surface being in contact with each other, to provide an internal flow channel that opens toward the seat surfaces and that passes through the inside of at least one of the valve members, and to control a flow rate of a fluid flowing out through the internal flow channel to the outside by adjusting a separation distance between the seat surfaces. And a restricted flow channel is formed in the internal flow channel so that a differential pressure is generated between an upstream side and a downstream side of the restricted flow channel.

    摘要: The present invention controls convergent pressure of a closed space provided with a fluid resistance at high speed while an upstream valve provided on the upstream of the fluid resistance prevents overshooting. A pressure control system is provided with a fluid resistance in a channel forming a closed space and is configured to control pressure of the closed space by controlling an upstream valve provided on the upstream of the fluid resistance. The pressure control system includes a convergent pressure arithmetic unit and a valve controller. The convergent pressure arithmetic unit calculates convergent pressure of the closed space when the upstream valve is fully closed using at least one of upstream pressure and downstream pressure on the fluid resistance in the channel. The valve controller compares the calculated convergent pressure with a predetermined target convergent pressure and fully close the upstream valve based on the result of the comparison.

    摘要: A flow rate control apparatus can obtain a flow rate of a fluid passing through a downstream-side valve in a form in which noise is significantly reduced with little time delay, and has improved responsiveness. The flow rate control apparatus includes: a downstream-side valve flow rate meter that measures a downstream-side valve flow rate that is a flow rate of a fluid passing through a downstream-side valve; and an observer including a downstream-side valve flow rate estimation model that estimates the downstream-side valve flow rate on the basis of an input parameter that changes an opening degree of the downstream-side valve. The observer is configured so as to be fed back a deviation between the measured value of the downstream-side valve flow rate and the estimated value of the downstream-side valve flow rate.
