Definitions
- a mass flow controller system is a system comprising a flow rate control device calibrated using a reference gas and a control device that outputs a flow rate setting value to the flow rate control device, wherein the flow rate value of the reference gas
- a relational data storage unit for storing relational data indicating the correspondence between the sample gas and the CF value of the sample gas, and a reference for converting the target flow rate of the sample gas to be flowed by the flow rate control unit into a reference gas flow rate using a predetermined CF value
- the reference gas flow rate conversion unit or the sample gas flow rate calculation unit Characterized in that it comprises a CF value updating unit that updates the difference between the obtained sample gas flow rate and the target flow rate is larger than a predetermined range, in the reference gas flow rate
- the CF value of the sample gas corresponding to the flow rate value of the reference gas is stored in the relational data storage unit, and the CF value is selected based on the flow rate value of the reference gas. Therefore, the sample gas flow rate output by the mass flow controller can be controlled with high accuracy.
- the flow rate set value for outputting the target flow rate differs for each mass flow controller, and the set flow rate value at which the target flow rate should be output is not uniformly determined. There is a problem that can not be selected.
- a method of comparing the target flow rate with the flow rate (sample gas flow rate) that would actually be output and updating the CF value so that the difference falls within a predetermined range By using it, the above problem can be solved, and an optimum CF value can be selected for each flow rate value of the reference gas, and the flow rate can be controlled with high accuracy.
- the CF value update unit sets a flow rate obtained by subtracting a difference between the sample gas flow rate obtained by the sample gas flow rate calculation unit and the target flow rate from the target flow rate, and sets the target flow rate as the target flow rate. It is conceivable to output the reference gas flow rate conversion unit and update the CF value used in the reference gas flow rate conversion unit.
- control device 3 receives a signal indicating a division ratio (%) from a gas analyzer (not shown) to which the gas concentration regulator 2 is connected. Then, a target flow rate (Q m ) of the component gas to be flowed and a target flow rate of the dilution gas are set from the division ratio, and an MFC is selected based on the flow rate of the component gas (step S1).
- the flow rate set value calculation unit 33 may set the MFC set flow rate value for flowing the reference gas flow rate (Q ref gas ) by the following method. If the MFC is incorporated in the gas divider, a new error will occur even if the MFC is calibrated alone. Therefore, the MFC incorporated in the gas divider is calibrated again by the reference MFC and corresponds to the standard flow rate setting value (S 0 ) for flowing the reference gas flow rate (Q ref gas ) as shown in FIG.
- the set flow rate value of MFC may be calculated as S X.
- the calibration is performed by creating a secondary calibration curve indicating the correspondence between the initial calibration curve created by calibrating the single MFC with the reference MFC and the flow rate value of the reference MFC.
- the sample gas flow rate calculation unit 3f calculates the sample gas flow rate (Q sam gas ) from the converted flow rate setting value (S b ) and the full scale flow rate (Q full ), and outputs the data to the CF value update unit 3g. .
- the CF value update unit 3g has a difference (Q m ⁇ Q sam gas ) between the sample gas flow rate (Q sam gas ) obtained by the sample gas flow rate calculation unit 3f and the target flow rate (Q m ) from a predetermined range. Is larger, the CF value used in the reference gas flow rate set value calculation unit 3d is updated using the correspondence. It should be noted that the same method as described in the above embodiment can be used as the update mode of the CF value.
