Gas Pressure and Flow Precision Control Technology: Millisecond Response, Thousand-Level Accuracy - Providing a Stable and Reliable Control Core for High-End Testing Equipment
Context: Solution Description Text to translate: In gas control system applications, pressure control and flow control are often two core requirements that are closely related. Traditional solutions require two separate systems, which are costly and difficult to integrate. Our dual-mode control architecture enables switching between pressure control and flow control modes through software on the same hardware platform, providing customers with a more flexible and cost-effective solution.

I. Core Technology Principles

Dual-Mode Control Architecture

This system adopts a dual-module design of pressure control and flow control, enabling a single unit to serve two purposes:

Pressure Control Mode

Based on a closed-loop control algorithm, the system uses an electrical signal to drive a proportional valve, outputting pilot air pressure to control the main valve's opening. It continuously monitors the output pressure and automatically adjusts it to achieve precise tracking and stable maintenance of the target pressure.

Flow Control Mode

Based on a closed-loop control algorithm, the system calculates the flow rate in real time using the pressure difference before and after the throttling element, indirectly achieving precise flow regulation through pressure control, without requiring additional flow meters.

Key Hardware Configuration

 

ComponentFunction Description
Electro-proportional componentConverts electrical signals into corresponding pneumatic outputs as the pilot control stage
Pressure servo main valveControls the opening of the main valve spool based on pilot air pressure, achieving linear regulation of high-pressure gas
Throttling element + dual pressure sensorsMeasures the pressure difference across the throttling element to calculate the flow rate in real time
Industrial control unitRuns the control algorithm and performs signal acquisition and processing

Principle of Flow Calculation

The system establishes a flow calculation model applicable to different flow conditions based on gas dynamics theory. After determining the effective flow parameters of the throttling element through calibration tests, the system can directly control the flow without a flow meter.

II. Technical Advantages
