  • FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20240028055
    Abstract: A gas flow control system for delivering a plurality of gas flows. The gas flow control system has a gas flow path extending from a gas inlet to first and second gas outlets. First and second flow restrictors are operably coupled to the gas flow path. First and second valves are operably coupled to the gas flow path such that when both first and second valves are in a fully open state, flows of gas from the first and second gas outlets are split according to the impedances of the first and second flow restrictors.
    Type: Application

  • Flow control system, method, and apparatus
    Patent number: 11144075
    Abstract: A mass flow control apparatus having a monolithic base. The monolithic base has a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a first flow component mounting region, a second flow component mounting region, and a third flow component mounting region. The first flow component mounting region has a first inlet port and a first outlet port, the first inlet port being fluidly coupled to the gas inlet of the monolithic base. The third flow component mounting region has a first sensing port fluidly coupled to the gas outlet of the monolithic base.

  • Flow control system, method, and apparatus
    Patent number: 10303189
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a modular method of making mass flow controllers for delivery of a plurality of process gases includes providing a plurality of monolithic bases, each of the monolithic bases having a plurality of flow component mounting regions. A first set of flow components are coupled to the flow component mounting regions of a first of the monolithic bases to form a mass flow controller having a first set of operating characteristics. A second set of flow components are coupled to the flow component mounting regions of a second of the monolithic bases to form a mass flow controller having a second set of operating characteristics which are different from the first set of operating characteristics.
