Abstract

A temperature sensor used for a mass flow meter is constituted by a flow channel through which a fluid flows, a temperature measuring means which has a temperature measuring point in a central part of a cross section of the flow channel, and a temperature uniformalizing means disposed on an upstream side from the temperature measuring point in the flow channel. The temperature uniformalizing means comprises a grid disposed so as to continuously extend in arbitrary directions perpendicular to a direction in which a fluid flows, and sub flow channels divided by said grid. Thereby, a temperature sensor which can acquire a measured temperature value representing temperature of the fluid even in a case where temperature of the fluid supplied to a mass flow meter from the outside altered can be realized.

Abstract

Mass flow controllers and methods for controlling mass flow controllers are disclosed. A method includes providing a gas through a thermal mass flow sensor of the mass flow controller and processing a sensor signal from the thermal mass flow sensor to produce a flow signal. A total nonlinearity characteristic function is determined based on nonlinearity effects on the flow signal and includes a first and second nonlinearity component function based on a first and second source of nonlinearity respectively. The total nonlinearity characteristic function is calibrated, and the first nonlinearity component function is adjusted responsive to changes in the first source of nonlinearity, after which the total nonlinearity characteristic function is updated. The flow signal is corrected to produce a corrected flow signal using the total nonlinearity characteristic function. A valve of the mass flow controller is controlled using the corrected flow signal and a setpoint signal.

A method includes obtaining a pressure measurement signal of the fluid generated by a pressure sensor and receiving a flow sensor signal of the fluid generated by a flow sensor. An estimated parasitic flow signal is generated using the pressure measurement signal, and the flow sensor signal is accelerated to produce an accelerated flow sensor signal with a bandwidth that is comparable to that of the estimated parasitic flow signal. A corrected flow signal is generated using the accelerated flow sensor signal and the estimated parasitic flow signal to control the mass flow controller.
