The above control has been conventionally performed, but in the present invention, disturbances accompanying material charging and extraction are predicted, and the atmosphere adjustment gas components are corrected to reduce the disturbances.
In a specific example, the flow rate of the supply gas is corrected and controlled each time the material M is charged or extracted. That is, the charging and extraction of the material M is detected by limit switches 3A, 3B, etc. (however, the limit switches for detection at the time of extraction are not shown). Further, the analysis results from the gas analyzer 8 are taken into a computing unit 11 having a correction table IIA. For example, as the correction table IIA, C
A method based on the correlation between O2 concentration and gas flow rate is used.

When the limit switches 3A and 3B are now turned on and the charging of material M is detected, a correction start signal is given to the calculator 11, and the calculator 11 obtains the current C○2 concentration signal from the gas analyzer 8. Then, the correction table 11A outputs the corrected gas flow rate to the gate 12. In this case, instead of immediately outputting the correction signal to the flow rate controller 10, the timer 1
3, the output is delayed by an appropriate time. A control signal is output from the flow rate regulator 10 to the flow rate regulating valve 4 in accordance with the correction signal given to the flow rate regulator IO. The correction is completed after an appropriate amount of time has elapsed from the time of charging/extraction, and normal control can be started.

他方、抽出の時点でも同様な補正制御がなされる。On the other hand, similar correction control is performed at the time of extraction as well.

In calculating the correction gas flow rate in the calculator 11,
For example, carbon potential value (PF value) = (C0%)''/CO2% so that the material M has the target C content.
In addition to setting the value of CO2% and adjusting the correction gas amount based on the value of CO2%, an appropriate mode can be adopted.
